Into The Blue by Transatlantic
Transatlantic – Into the Blue
Dennis van Tol
Bas
Hi everyone,
A long time has passed since I wanted to contribute a bass tab and especially for this song or any other
songs of Transatlantic or Neal morse and since I have to begin somewhere, I started with this epic.
Note that this tab is not complete, but I think it's comes close towards the real song and you should be
able to play along with the song for the most. If you have any comments or improvements for this tab then I
would like to hear them, since I'm also learning how to do this properly.
Anyway, the tab is below.
I hope you have fun playing it!
Greetz,
Dennis

8:58-9:54
Basically C# - B – A but with some fills in between that are hard to hear,
but I guess Pete Trewavas improvises these fills on the spot with live shows.
Here below are some, but it’s just really hard to here imo.

10:20- 12:05 repeat the first figure for a while, then followed by the second figure shown here.
Just listen to the song for timing

12:33-12:58 repeat figure at 9:54-10:20
12:59- 15:24
Sometimes really hard to hear, especially towards the end of this part because of the drums…
but it keeps going from F# to A and later on to Eb.

16:26 -19:25
Not much bass here, except the F# in the beginning, followed by Gildenlow’s singing.
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E-2-------------------------------------------------------------------
19:26-19:59
The C# lasts until 19:39, where it goes to B as shown below.
The B-Bb-A-F# goes along with Neal singing. Listen to the song for the right timing.
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A-4----2-1-0--2-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------2---------------------------------------------------------
20:00-21:33
It’s mostly C#, then at 20:18 to G, back to C#, then at 20:31 to C,
again back to C# followed by an A at 20:52 and at 20:56 towards Eb.
21:00 to C, 21:02 B > 21:06 E (?)> 21:09 C#, 21:13 B and then C% towards 21:33.
21:33- 22:17
First there’s an A during the keyboard part, bass start’s playing a long at 21:46 from B to C# and back,
and from 21:58 goes to Bb. At 22:03 it goes back to A, 22:10 > B.

22:18- 22:46
“So the days have past”
I thought it was better just to write down the chords, since these are all single notes
and it doesn’t really require tabbing.
Begins with B
22:21 > A
22:24 > G, E, F
22:31 > B
22:35 > A
22:38 > D
22:42 > C
