Bass Tab

AFI
Medicate
Crash Love (2009)

Tabbed by Jess/Abongachong

Tune a half-step down.

NOTE: This tab is based on the album version of the song. This is also the version that
on Guitar Hero.
If you are playing to the single version, just skip straight to the "intro 2" part. I
the rest is the same.

Some of the fills and variations are a little hard to hear so the tab might be kind of confusing.
I did a bass cover on youtube so you can watch if there's a part you don't get or something.
