Up The Beach Tab

                        Up the Beach - Jane's Addiction (Nothing's Shocking)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Tabbed by: S. Comstock
 
Tuning: standard
Key: D
 
Notes: The tab starts where Navarro is playingthe D major chord, right before
he plays a sequence of sliding notes. Navarro plays major note sequences and
scales the whole time. I included the time so you know where to start. Major
D and A chords play throughout the song.
 
 
(bass line playing...start D chord at 1:07, played in groups of 2 four
times)

slowly and deliberately; then Navarro plays a run using the A Mixolydian scale)

              (2:43, repeat G Lydian scale; I sometimes don't play the A note
               at the end of the scale, which is the 12 fret of the A string;
               therefore I put it in brackets if you want to play it)
