Nothingface Ver 1 by Voivod

Voivod - Nothingface ver 1 bass tab 


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).

VERSE

CHORUS

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
0:51

G[----|------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
D[ ---|--12--3-------------3-|--12--3-------------3-|--7p5--3-----------3-|
A[-5-|---------5-5p3-3h5-5|---------5-5p3-3h5-5|---------5-5p3-3h5-5|
E[----|------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|                    

			      A		       B

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

G[----------------------------
D[-----------------------------
A[4---432-7654---432-765
E[-----------------------------

1:57 

G[--- ------------------------|
D[-----h5-4------h6-5------|
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-|
A[--------------------------------|
E[--------------------------------|

2:18

G[----------------------------|
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

G[--------------------------------|		
D[11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-|
A[--------------------------------|
E[--------------------------------|

2:32

G[--------------3h0--|
D[----------0h3------|
A[3-3-3-3-----------|   x 4
E[--------------------|

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

2:38

G[-------------------------8-|	|---------------------------------|
D[----------------------------|	|---------------------------------|
A[3h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---|  x3 |3h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-8-8-8-6-|
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
CHORUS

G[------------------|

E[3---5---6--6-----|

BRIDGE BEFORE END
3:49

END

G{--[-------|
D{-4[----4-|
A{---[4---|  x 12 ?
E{---[2-----|

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]
