Artist: Intwine
Song: Cruel Man
Tabbed by: Agnax (2010)
***********************
There is only one challenging part in this song and that's during the instrumental
bit. Since you can easily figure out the rest of the song, I only tabbed this part.
NOTE: I play a 5—string bass. If you play a 4—string bass, your only option is to go
up one octave and start on the 4th fret @ the A—string (or alter your tuning...)
G ||————————————————————————————————||
D ||————————————————————————————————||
A ||————————2—————————2—————————2—4—||x8
E ||——5—4———————5—4———————5—4———————||
D ||2—————2———2—————2———2—————2—————||
After the first 4 times, your guitarist should kick in (distorted) and play along
another 4 times.
Have fun and feel free to comment!

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.
Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
