I’ve been looking for a tab or score for the bassline of Enjoy the Silence reinterpreted by Mike Shinoda but can’t get closer than the original.
Any-one have any idea where to find one?
No-one?

[Edit]is it a song? a book?
well is this what your looking for?
or this

I’m sorry, I ought to have been more clearer.
Enjoy the Silence (reinterpreted) is a reinterpretation of the song “Enjoy the Silence” originally by Depeche Mode, but reinterpreted by Mike Shinoda.
I am looking for the bass line of that song, meaning a bass tab (see example below) or a musical score which tells me how to play the bass line (because those morons of producers have turned the bass so low I can’t properly hear it :mad:)
Example of a bass tab ("self esteem" by the offspring):
Intro/chorus
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-----8-8-8-----3-3-3-|
E|-5-5-------8-8-------|
Verse
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------3-3-3-3-3----------|
A|-5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-1-1-----------3-3-3-3-3|
E|-----------------------------------------|
extra part of chorus the second and last time
G|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
A|-5-5--1-1-1-----3-3-3----|-111111111111-333333333333333|
E|------------1-1------ x4|-----------------------------|
Heh, luckily i know what’s a tab, since I am guitar player 
Never heard of the track. From Mike’s own website, i didn’t find anything, and most of the sites i found were in foreign language, and there wasn’t a site with the tablature of it. (judging from the first 5 pages at least)
How many tablature sites have you checked?
Hey, Charlesworth, do you know if Murderers by John Frusciante is played by more than one guitar? I’ve been learning it but I’m not sure if it needs a bass or something.
P.S. The reinterpreted version of Enjoy the Silence wasn’t found on any of the tab sites I know. If you find it, can you please post a link?
hey, CharlesWorth999, I know the song (edit: love it too, btw), I could probably tab it out if you want. Might be in different position though as it’s going from ear.
Edit: Finished, doesn’t seem to have much of a bassline, just one note per bar.

@Zuker12: You must be kidding?! I hope you at least know the original version of that song 'cause that one is quite famous
I had checked all best tablature sites I know of and did about 3 pages of google results so by then I gave up.
@ FadieZ: It probably is. I don’t know the song but the majority of Rock, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Latin… has a bass in it. The bass lays down the ground notes and the rhythm of a song and is determinative in the song’s overall feel.
My search gave me this result: http://www.911tabs.com/tabs/j/john_frusciante/murderers_tab.htm.
Every one of the links on that page is a tab for the song you mentioned, some are Guitar Pro tabs (a great program for guitar players and bass players) other plain ASCII tabs. There are several bass tabs as well, so I’m sure there’s a bass in your song.
@Alex_G: Thanks for that! I knew the notes where going to be whole, but I’m no expert bass player like Jeff Schmidt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWqae9kUD_M).
Some of the notes you tell us to play are not really natural notes (like the 6th frets of the D and A strings), though.
I suspect there’s some dirty rhythm guitar in that song blocking the sound of the bass. Seeing as the chorus is basically a wall of sound… I never understood the necessity of a rhythm guitar… You have the bass and the drums who do the rhythm, so what do you need a rhythm guitar for?
Whoops, sorry about that, just transpose it an octave down and you should be right.
EDIT: I edited the tab in my previous post, should be good now.
You didn’t need to change it you know. It’s alright if the notes aren’t natural. 
That’s why we have sharp and flat notes.
I wish I were already able to hear the exact notes. Ah well… rumor has it takes 10 years before you can do stuff like tune by ear.
Only if you let it.
Try http://www.good-ear.com/ to help you learn how to tune your ear. IMHO it is much more important to recognise the interval space between notes than the notes themselves. For instance, a lot of guitarists downtune by half a tone, but if you understand the space in between the notes they are playing, you can “re-tune” the tune to fit your instrument.

Hi, is it not possible to workout much of the interpreted score from the original?
Surely it could not be so different?
Even though you say much of the bass is drowned out by the rhythm guitar the notes or chord would still reflect much of what the bass is doing.
As for learning to ‘tune your ear’ I advocate firstly the boring repetitive chore (& it is) of chromatic scales, ie: start at the first fret e string then semi tone to g sharp ( one fret after another ) then repeat this for each string. then reverse back to e. next move up one semitone to f and repeat the process one finger after another over the entire fretboard.
This is also a great finger strengthening exercise.
Next scales, major in all keys, minor in all keys and try familiarizing yourself with the entire fret board by playing the scale at several positions. ie: open scale 5th fret, 7th fret 12th fret ect…
Before long you will become very familiar with the sounds all over the fretboard and it will be easier to find and pick out notes from songs.
The other method I used as my ear improved, was to simply turn on the radio and play along, whilst this is difficult at first, as you progress it can be fun, if your ear can pick the notes and you have a basic knowledge of scales, pretty soon you will find that your fingers & brain will know nearly automatically what note is next. It did take me several years to achieve this, but the boring groundwork proved invaluable when for example I needed to learn an entire set(16 songs) in two days for paid work.
Or when I walk into any music store and play and everyone in the store stops to listen, but thats another double handed, fret tapping, string bending, vibrato waving, artificial harmonic story. For another day. Now that’s some bass.
Above all never give up.
As a side note, don’t be fooled by the ease of tab, it is better to learn to read music properly.
Thanks. M.A.
@ julesd-g6 & Meta-Androcto: I suppose you can’t become a good [insert musical instrument] player without learning all that music theory. Not that it bothers me, I never expected becoming a bassist to be as easy as reading some tabs! Thanks for the advice
I’ve found some great open source software for making musical score and/or tabs for whichever stringed instrument. It’s called LilyPond and has given me great results already. I’ll be using this when I am advanced enough to write my own basslines.
