                   SPITTING VENOM - Modest Mouse

   This is my first tab, and it seems ritual to say so, so there.
I was devastated (did i spell that wrong?) when nobody had even tried to tab this the way 
Eric plays it, so i took my time to make 
this tab for all you Modest Mouse-loving Bass players, like me.
   Sorry if the timing's off, but its a tab, not sheet music, so deal with it.
The bass is somewhat hard to hear, i suggest wearing heaphones and listening to the rhythyms.

Intro: Guitar

1:28:heavy intro:

G|------------------------------------------|
D|14--12---10--9h10--12--14---11--9---------|
A|-----------------------------------10--9--|
E|------------------------------------------|

G|----------------------------------|
D|11--9---------------------6-6-8-8-|
A|------11--9-8-9-8-8-10-10---------|
E|----------------------------------|

Play until:

1:59
"Hold on to what you need..."

G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|14-12-10----------10-12-14------------------------------|
A|---------12-12-12---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------11-11-11-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|

G|----------------|x2
D|----------------|   
A|----------------|
E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|

{Play the riff at 1:28, with this added every other time}

G|----------------------------8-8-10-10-8-8-10-10
D|6-6-8-8-9-9-11-11-9-9-11-11--------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------

G|12-12-14-14-12-12-14-14-16-16-17-17|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|

That's it, for up to the vague Jam.
 
Here's a somewhat general progression that seems to work for me, and a base to improvise on.

{All whole notes}
G|-------------------|
D|-----^9------------|
A|10--------9--------|
E|--------------12---|
(Only a SLIGHT bend)

That's about all i can do for ya, complain to me in the comments section only, please.
