sorry if the title doesnt make sense but does anyone have correct tab on how to play the piano at the beginning of the song on bass? my ban d is trying to cover it and we dont have a piano player so maybe with some effects i can pull off the paino on bass.

Sorry, but there is no Paino on any version of American Baby Intro. You must be hearing things.

yeah what instument is making the watery noise after the like 2 time they play the verse? its like a different riff but fits nicely. It couldnt be violin could it because he comes in later and has like a whole solo.

edit: yeah that file trys to open in wordpad. what program should i open it with?

I reiterate what I said. There is no Paino on American Baby Intro. You're all hallucinating.

Or maybe you all should READ the statements thoroughly, because you're all missing something. Because I sure as HELL know there ain't no Paino on ABI.

There might be some Piano, though...

:p

i dont think its considered improv if he plays it every time like that? im not trying to argue im just saying.

well, we're splitting hairs here, but i'm not going to tab it out. itd be easier for you to just improv in G. just build off the main riff, that's all he's doing and adding fills

It very well could have been an improv in the studio that worked so well, its now an identifiable part of the song. Once it becomes identifiable and THAT memorable, it graduates to a "part."

Maybe

well then isnt every riff and what not considered improv at one time?

Taters, you know I was busting your chops for saying paino and not piano, right? Just trying to have a lil fun.

Either way, the other guys nailed it right... that is piano, just a different patch than a "Traditional" piano.

No, there was actually a study done that if words are mispelled, the brain can cycle them to be understood as the right spelling without a miss. Something like that. It's all good ;)

I believe the key of the song is Bmin, not Gmaj.

Butch is just playing different inversions of the chords. Wish I had a guitar around to figure it out for ya.

so hey just uses the same notes in different orders?

Not really. Do you know anything about theory? Or major and minor scales, at least? Instead of playing B, D, F#, G; try playing a note or two from each one's chord. So a B minor chord consists of B, D, F#. D major is D, F#, A; and G major is G, B, D. The F# chord is actually a D major chord with an F# bass note over it. So for that one, use a note from a Dmaj chord as well.

It sounds kinda muddy and out of place, however, if you play the notes low on the bass. So if you're trying to mimic Butch, I would suggest playing it pretty high up, and with an effect or two. I don't know what Butch plays exactly, but it's probably something like:

-19--14--11--7-----
-16--12--12--9-----
-------------------
-------------------

It'll sound better with someone playing the root notes over stuff like this, too. Hope that helps!
