A beautifully crafted bass line made up of mostly arpeggios. Gotta love Randy Meisner.
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)
\ = slide (high to low)
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
x = muted note
*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.
