Putting a bass guitar in would bestupid. It's simpler and it sounds a lot nicer solo voice and guitar.This is my insight on it:chords: I KNOW that these are right but i'm not sure about some of thenames for them with question marks near them.(high octave type),???, /???.warning- you must be a GOOD guitarist to play this song correctly.I'm not going to tab out an F, C, or G chord, because if you don't knowthem, you shouldn't be playing this song, let alone guitar.The bass line (picking) is fairly obvious except in chorus, which I'veshown further down.
Chords for Elliott Smith - Between The Bars. Play along with guitar, ukulele, or piano with interactive chords and diagrams. Includes transpose, capo hints, changing speed and much more.
For the verse, just pick the obvious bass string inthe chord with your thumb.
It's a tremolo. There are two types of tremolos. One between two different notes like in your example above and a second with the bars going though the stem of the note.In your case, it is like a trill where you go back and forth pattern them in that patter at at a speed related to the bars connecting the two notes. So the two bars in the first measure would equate to 16th note speed and the three bars in the second measure would equate to 32nd note speed. The idea is that when the tremolo is finished you have played both notes the duration notated, but alternated at a certaint speed based on the number of bars. Here is the link I used to confirm the notation:I would listen to a few examples so you get a good idea of what they are before you dive right into them.
