Drones In The Valley Bass Tab

This is my first tab, although I haven't seen any tabs of this song. It's a really
great Cage tune and is an excellently written bass riff. Enjoy! (Might be somewhat
inaccurate and is definitely unfinished.)
Intro
The introduction to this song is somewhat simple if you figure out the right
technique for playing the note on the G string after the hammer on. I play it by
barring my index finger over the 7th fret of the D and G strings at the same time,
then plucking those notes away.

Intro Pt. 2
This part is just plunking away on those notes. Daniel mixes it up a bit with
those octaves on the open E string. Make sure you stop the open note from ringing
too long, using your thumb, or it'll sound really muddy.

Basically a simplified second part of the intro, with a slight bend on the second
time going to the A string from the E
