From the Inside (Bass)
Other versions:
Bass TAB in the key of Dm like the original song, in 4/4 time, tabbed for a 4-string bass in standard EADG tuning. This is my personal interpretation of the bassline. |--|--|--|--| = 8th note measures (i.e. for 8th notes, half notes, and whole notes). |-----|-----| = 16th note measures (i.e. 8th note measures zoomed in to allow for spacing 16th notes). * = The previous note is silenced. x = A muted string is played without pressing any note. m = The marked note is played muted. [Intro - 00:00-01:01] Note that it is important to play all of the notes (mostly D) throughout this song on the E string and closer to where the neck begins for a thicker tone that better fits the heavy feel of the song.
