Dear Bass Souls out there, Marillion's Grendel was and will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. In the early past I was quite often thinking about doing the transcription for this song, but obviously, because of the length of more than 17 minutes, I struggled to do it. Nevertheless, now it has been done and I am more than happy about it. The Intro does last until 0:35, then both the bass starts playing as well as Fish starts singing, at chapter I, "Heorot's plea and Grendel's awakening". From the first moment I did listen to this song, it always kept me speechless, only listening to it. And it's because of the band, the lyrics, Fish's voice, everything. The part of the song, that starts at beat 61 is at quite a high speed (178), but listening to the keyboard all the time, it's just fun to be part of it. The software I use is unfortunately not capable to show sixteenth triplets the right way (not always, but in this case). This section of the song starts a beat 205, chapter II, "Grendels Journey". This is followed by chapter III of this song, "Lurker at the threshold" what a wonderful groove with quarter triplets for bass. At beat 310 the chapter IV, "Finale" closes the song, which still lasts close to 6 minutes. Anyway, enjoy playing, stay tuned and healthy guys!

Nice playing! I’m not a bassist (guitarist here), but these tabs are very helpful for filling in the gaps. Thanks!

Amazing! Love this song. So glad I found a channel with Marillion bass covers... Would you consider doing Garden Party? Great work! Subscribed.

Excellent cover, I have only been playing the bass for a couple of years but great to find tabs for the music I grew up with - let me know if you publish these anywhere as I would like to learn and play along at my pace (🤣🤣🤣) slow!!

I stumbled on your channel by accident. Holy shit! Can't believe I've never heard this song before 😭 Its so good. Subscribed & looking forward to learning this. Thanks for the upload!

[@basssoul6874]

Thanks Brian! I always loved this song. Is just fun to play!

Nice job, I play the keyboard not bass, but was thinking of doing a keyboard cover, this would help me put a bass line to it. I'm also a huge Marillion fan and this was the first song I heard of theirs and been a fan ever since. Well, of the Fish era songs anyway.

Well done . Thanks for that.

That’s the DB’s 🤘 Ps what does the 3 mean at the bottom of the tab is it kind of the opposite of staccato?

[@basssoul6874]

Hi Richard, The last 3 notes are thirds, a rest and two thirds to be played., f.e. comes up several times during the intro!

[@ohma1079]

Learned this by ear and by watching other covers on youtube a couple months ago, time to see if i was doing it correctly
