Tabs
Artist: Minus The Bear
Song: Invisible
Part of the Song: Whole song
This specific tab is based on the studio and live recordings so as to tab exactly what they're playing.
Intro:
Jake starts playing a little while after David starts tapping away. You have to listen to the song to get
the repetitions right, don’t forget!
Jake: (Aside from some fills and the chorus, he basically plays this pattern the whole song)

David:
With your left hand, tap the E MajorE string on the 2nd and 5th frets in the same rythm as Jake’s playing.
