Bass Tab

  • Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 8/8
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)

*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
