Michael Jackson — Beat It - This Is Correct Tuning!!! bass tabs




As I was looking at tabs for this song, all of them were out of tune...and really
bad. Had the right rhythms but not the right notes at all. Please take the
time to look at this!
I made it ONCE FOR ALL in the right tune. I am a music major and an experienced
bass
player and know these notes are right!!! If you disagree with me, check the
tuning on your bass first before e—mailing/messaging me! Thank you!

Back to the intro/chorus — repeat until the song fades out


Please send this wherever you deem necessary, we must stop the illegit and
out—of—tune tabs for this song from spreading!

The fret changes look tough but if you practice them for 5 minutes they're
not as
tough as they look!

Please let me know what you think :)

11th fret on the ‘g’ string in the riff? I dont think so.
I think the bass is actually in Drop D, you play the intro/chorus riff starting on the first fret of the 4th string (Eb).
This is not the correct tuning my man but keep rocking on!
