Why -  Joe Satriani

This is my first bass tab
so i'm not too sure about it....Hope it is correct

       This pops up in the introduction...

These notes are harmonics

                 The main riff

The blues bit                                                           

The next bit is played by the lead guitar 
but I find it cool to play along with it. Learn the sequence 
and you'll know where it is in the song.

This is a pretty damn good song in whole 
but the bass is too cool. It's tricky to get the right sound 
but with time and practice 
it will sound right. I find playing the upper-octave notes palm-muted 
in a kind of "pinched-harmonic" style gives that right sound... 
 
Hope this helps someone; like I said 
I looked for this tab 
but couldn't find it 
so finally resorted to trying to work it out for myself. It's my first 
tab 
so is probably totally wrong ;)
