BAND: Incubus
SONG: Hilikus
TABLATURE: Bass
TABBED BY: James Trujillo (jtbass3@aol.com)
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first time I have ever tabbed anything before,
so please bare with me if it seems a little confusing. The
rythym for the song is hard to tab, but you should get the
idea if you have the cd. The bassist for Incubus has a
5-string, but I tabbed this for a 4-string bass.
key:
bend up (^)
slide up (\)
slide down (/)
hammer-on (>)

This part is kinda tricky. Dirk plays 3 hammer-ons back-to-back
in a set of 4.

This part is where they do a little break in-between the verse.
It's just the same as the original verse except with the break.
Verse (play 1x)
After you play the verse 1x, then it goes directly to the second
half of the original verse. If you listen to the cd, you'll know
what I mean.

Then after you play the 2nd half of the verse, you follow the
order of parts listed below. Then the song basically goes in
order the rest of the way after that. Except for the intro part
which they use as a bridge for the guitar solo and a couple
other different parts the bassist add's during the solo.
