Song: R U Kidding me
Artist: Anouk
From: A van Oijen (avo@telebyte.nl)
Subject: BASSTAB: R U Kidding me - Anouk
This is a complete transcription off the song R U Kidding me by Anouk. It was a
difficult quest but after digitizing the song and slowing down but keeping the pitch
on my computer (using Cool Edit) I was able to write it down.
* Slides are represented by a > (eq. 4 > 8 means: slide from 4 to 8)
* Gostnotes are represented by a * after the number (eq. 4* means a ghostnote on 4)
* Taps are represented by a T (e.q. 4T6 means strike 4 and tap 6...
4T6P4 means strike 4, tap 6 and pulloff 6 (holding 4) :=) )
* Ritme isn’t presented but the closer the numbers are together, the faster they
should be played after one another. Also using the song as backup could be usefull.
Have fun...

To arrange all the bits, please listen to the recording. I’m sorry for
the not standard notations, but I dont know the standard ones.
