The Theme to the Pink Panther
I like to do the bass line in slides on the low E, it just sounds fun and accurate plus really easy to play. There's a higher part in the middle, I think
that's on trumpet or something in the original. So that is also tabbed here if you find a better way to play it you do that I'm just offering my
suggestions. it also sounds really awesome with Rhy Fig 2 overlapped on Rhy Fig 1, or stick the latter on bass guitar
Also try hooking your guitar up to a distortion pedal and trying some stuff. I did this on stage in front of a full house and they thought it was sweet
when I added distortion and hit the next two strings aftetr the bass line
not in exact timing:..listen to the song to get the timing right also as I said this song was in my head so some of the notes may be wrong. If this occurs
just bring it up or down the fretboard a little bit
/=slide up
=slide down
tuning: standard
