The Kids Are Alright BASS 
By The Who
Written by Pete Townshend

Transcribed By HANIF PAYANDEH (thegreenlantern@comic.com)

Okay WHOever here's how it goes for the BASS guitar.

    I don't know if it's possible, but I think I've managed to
Oversimplify this thing. So excuse me for sounding like I'm teaching kindergarteners.

1.  The best way to learn the learn where the notes lie in the song is to strum
    in one continuous rhythm. For the sake of easiness, I have transcribed this
    so that you would be picking the string LIKE A MACHINE at exactly 240 beats
    per minute. (J.E. -obviously- doesn't play every note here, he lets certain
    notes ring out a while instead of picking it a number of times. Listen to it
    a few times will help tremendously.)
2.  Each measure is about one second. (so [INTRO], [RIFF 1], and [RIFF 2] are
    8 seconds each.)
3.  Each "--" is one quarter note.

This is the [INTRO]:
I don't...
  mind..          o-ther...         Girl...                         that's
