Epic Bass Tab by Faith No More

Epic bass tab by Faith No More (Ver. 2)

Bass Tab

Song: Epic
Artist: Faith No More
Album: The Real Thing

Standard tuning (EADG)

PERFORMANCE NOTE: Slap all verses, choruses and bridges.  The interlude and guitar solo
are played with heavy distortion, and get as sloppy as you'd like because Gould rarely,
if ever, plays them the same way twice anyway.
