Roxanne Bass

You gotta love Sting and his off-beat rhythms.
 
Tabbed by: BASSteve
 
Tuning: EADG
 
Time signature: 4/4
 
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
x = muted note
 
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
