This is the 4-string version of golden boy that's a bit easier to read There's alot of percussive muted pops and slaps, and I marked those as Xs. ------x---------------x---------x---------------x--------7-7--------x-- ---------------6h7----------------------6h7-------------------9-------- ---------5h7-----------5-5-------5h7-----------5h7--------------------- -7-x---------------x---------x---------------x--------------------x---- ---------------------x------------------------x-------- -------------6h7--------------------6h7------------9--- -------5h7-----------5-6-7--5h7-----------5h7---------- -7-7-------------x------------------------x------------ -9-9-9-9-9-9-\7-7/-9-9-9-9-9-\7-7/10/9-- Intro/guitar solo -8-8-8-8-8-8-\6-6/-8-8-8-8-8-\6-6/-9/-8- -9-9-9-9-9-9-\7-7/-9-9-9-9-9-\7-7/10/9-- ---------------------------------------- 12-l-------10/11--12-l-14---- 11-l--------9/-10--11-l-13--- Verse 12-l-------10/11--12-l-14---- -----------------------------

This song is fairly easy to play, it can be played on a four string, but there will be a few notes missing. Since I have a six, that is how I will tab it.

For the guitar solo, the bass plays the intro riff again.

This is the way I play the Golden Boy main riff on my 5 string. I think it is more accurate than the others on this page. It sounds better, anyways. s=slap p=pop h=hammer on rhythmic notation (on bottom) h=half note q=quarter note e=eighth note s=sixteenth note g--5------2h3---x-------x-----2h3---x-----8-8-5-x---5-----2h3-x---- d--5--------------------------------------------------------------- a-----0h3-----x---6-6-x---0h3-----x---0h3---------x-----3-------x-- e------------------------------------------------------------------ b-----------------------------------------------------1------------ q s s s s s s e e s s s s s s s s s s e e e s s e e e s s s s g-----------2h3---x------------------------ d-1-2-3------------------------------------ a-------0h3-----x---0h3-3------------------ e------------------------------------------ b------------------------------------------ e e e s s s s s s s s h
