Song: Big Bang Baby
Band: Stone Temple Pilots
This is my first attempt at tabbing a song so bear with me.
A few things to keep in mind-There are actually 2 guitars dubbed over each other, so if
your playing by yourself its just not going to sound the same. A couple of options are
to play it palm muted then release whenever guitar #2 comes in or if you have a pedal with
multiple channels you can just switch from light distortion to heavy when guitar #2
comes in. Or you can do whatever you want I don’t really care but it sounds more accurate
if you got a pedal or better yet another guitarist.
X=a muted string (not used).
Verse-You can play the verse using down strokes or alternate strumming it doesn’t really
matter just personal preference. Pretty much slide between each chord shape unless
your “doubling up” or “moving down”.
“doubling up” “moving down”
Here and here
E---x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x---------
B---x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x---------
G---x-x--x-x--x-x--7-6--5-5--4-2--x-x--x-7---------
D---2-2--5-6--7-7--7-6--5-5--4-2--5-5--7-7---------
A---2-2--5-6--7-7--5-4--3-3--2-0--5-5--7-5---------
E---0-0--3-4--5-5--x-x--x-x--x-x--3-3--5-x---------
Alright these are the alternate E---x-x-x-x---
Chords you play leading into the B---x-x-x-x---
Chorus. Play these after the last G---x-7-x-5---
A power chord (don’t play the last D---5-7-7-5---
4 chords in the verse). Ok? A---5-5-7-3---
Note: This is a smooth transition E---3-x-5-x---
from verse to chorus with only a slight pause On the last chord then you go right into the
chorus.
Chorus- The 1st half of this is right but I haven’t figured out the 2nd half. So I decided
to add a second half that fits pretty well its just not as cool or high pitched as the album
version but it works. Strum the chorus alternately up and down. You might want to strum
it more or less like I said before I know its wrong so do what you think is best.
1st Half 2nd half
E---x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x-- x-x-x-x-x-x---0--0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0---
B---x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x-x-x-x-x-x---0--0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0---
G---5-5-5-5-5-5-5---2---2-2-2-2-2-2---9--9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9---
D---5-5-5-5-5-5-5---2---2-2-2-2-2-2---9--9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9---
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3---0---0-0-0-0-0-0---7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7---
E---x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x-x-x-x-x-x---x--x-x-x-x-x--x-x-x-x-x---
1st Half 2nd half
E---x--x-x-x-x-x--x--x-x-x-x------ Play the same the above
B---x--x-x-x-x-x--x--x-x-x-x------ second half only strum it all in
G---5--5-5-5-5-5--7--7-7-5-7------ succession with no pausing.
D---5--5-5-5-5-5--7--7-7-5-7------
A---3--3-3-3-3-3--5--5-5-3-5------
E---x--x-x-x-x-x--x--x-x-x-x------
2nd Half of Chorus- This is the really high “nothings for free” part. Its not exactly
right but its really close. Play these chords strumming alternately up and down. Strum
the first 5 chord shapes 4 times each then the next 3 shapes 3 times each. Once you get to
this point you repeat the pattern then after you’ve played it through the second time
instead of repeating it again you strum the last shape 12 times. Got it?
Its not really that tough just listen to the song.
Strum 4x 4x 4x 4x 4x 3x 3x repeat
E---12----10----12-----8----10----15----13--------12---
B---12----10----12-----8----10----15----13--------12---
G---13-----9----13-----9----11----16----12--------13---
D---14----10----14----10----12----17----15--------14---
A---14----10----14----10----12----17----15--------14---
E---12-----8----12-----8----10----15----13--------12---
Well that’s it. Sorry I don’t got it down perfectly but this tab puts the other one to shame
so enjoy!
