Skin And Bones Live bass tab by Foo Fighters

Bass tabs

Album: Greatest Hits(2009)
Tuning: Standard(EADG)
Author: Ty W.([email protected])
Note: Normally when played live, bass is played on a double bass(upright acoustic) on
of the track. Actual electric bass doesn't come in until the outro. So this is just what I play.
Feel free to add your own flair to it.
