Your Racist Friend |
By: They Might Be Giants |
Key: G Major |
Year: 1990 |
(Note the crazy tuning. This is best played on a 5-string bass. The way it's played live is much different. To best replicate the synth slap bass on the recording, slap every note and maybe pop the high ones... except during the interlude, where you can just pluck it all and everything will be fine.)
