Artist - JOY DIVISIO
Album - Permanent: Joy Division 199
Song Title - Atmospher
Bassist - Peter Hoo

This is one of my favorite Joy Division songs, and although it's not har
to figure out, I thought it deserves to be on the OLGA, just in case. Thi
line should be played with a rather melodic, free style, so be sure to thro
a couple of tasty fills for good measure

* The notes in brackets are the low synth notes, related to but not the sam
  as the chord change
** These notes should be played very softly (piano

For the other verses you use the same pattern, with some variation in th
fills. To get a similar tone to Pete's, use a pick and some chorus. Pay ver
much attention to the dynamics of the bass playing, some of the notes in th
tab should barely even be played, while others are heavily accented. Thi
song is very easy to play but it takes considerable touch and finesse to mak
it sound like the original (hey, it's Pete Hook!! =P)...
