Black Sabbath - Embryo/Children of the Grave (bass cover + tabs in description)

Thank you for helping me reach 300 subscribers! When I started this channel I hadn't even thought I'd ever reach 100! Much love to all of you for sticking around! :)


Keep in mind that originally bass doesn't play in Embryo, or if it does it's through a very bizarre effect. But the melody is nice and simple, so why not cover it as well. And also keep in mind that I've played this song in the Eb Standard tuning, simply because I don't want to jump around the tunings and ruin the intonation on the bass, and this song allows for it anyway. But I will include the original, C# Standard tab as well as the transposed Eb Standard one for those who want to stick to the original.


I tried to follow the isolated bass track for this song as closely as I could, but sometimes I had no idea if Geezer played a note very lightly or was it just an accidental slip. The song is surprisingly tricky. Those short chromatic runs leading to hammer-ons are tougher than I remember them to be. And also I believe Geezer played this whole song with a pick, which makes me respect him even more, since this song is very 'finger friendly' yet still not easy to play fingerstyle.
