Voivod — Nothingface bass tabs



I'm a big fan of this band and their extremely technical and talented musicianship were 
one of the factors which
drove me to become a bassist. Trawling through the internet has always proved fruitless
when I looked for tabs
of their songs and thus, I decided to do it myself! I hope anyone who uses this will become
a bigger fan of this
great group and that this will help them be a better bassist. Learning their songs sure
helped me.
As for the tab, its littered with errors that a better player would notice in a second.
I'm not sure of half of it. Some
days i'll play an A# instead of an A or a B, but this is the closest I've gotten to an "average"
sound of the notes.
This is also my first attempt at a tab for any song, so please, send me suggestions of what
you think the notes
really are: the [email protected]

I believe Blacky plays the song with a plectrum (I use the heavy black Dunlop one's).

Do this four times for the intro

E|3———5———6——6—————|
^
The timing for this bit is tricky (from the A# to the last D in the section);its like 1234,
but you have to hold on to the A#
and sort of pluck off the A on the D string.|

BRIDGE AFTER CHORUS

Then alternate between A and B til the chorus returns at 1:12. The sequence is repeated,
and then at 1:52,

A|0h4———————0h6——————0h5—| x 4
E|————————————————————————————|

Repeat this four times. Its hard enough to get play, but its just a matter of geting used
to the timing. I only pluck the open A's, the A# on the
D string, and the G on the D string.

It then goes back to the previous riff, and then repeats the sequence, ending like this:
2:16

G|————————————————————————————————|
D|11—11—11—11—11—11—11—11—|

E|————————————————————————————————|

D|—————h5—4——————h6—5——————|
A|0h4———————0h6——————0h5—| x 6
E|————————————————————————————|

Lengthen the 4 and the 5 on the D a little to give that slight jazzy swing sound that he gets.
2:30

2:32

Very fast. My best guess and it sounds ok..

2:38

E|————————————————————————————||—————————————————————————————————|

Not sure of that octave on the G either, but it sounds ok.

Them two riffs are repeated until they are both played three times each overall. Then
the chorus comes in again.
3:09

I dunno if thats the exact no. of times, but just do the 1—2—3 thang until the song ends
on the F# on the D string.

Thats it. Hope its easy to follow. Any questions or improvements, email me: the [email protected]
