Root Of All Evil Bass Tab
Song:The Root of All Evil
Band:Dream Theater
Album:Octavarium
Bassist:John Myung
Tabbed by Andrew666
I’m a guy from Greece and I was checking the other bass tabs for this song,so I saw that
were all of them for a 6-string bass(John Myung’s).I decided to make my tab for those
a 4-string bass.This is my first tab ever.It took me ages to create this tab so
rate!I would be glad if you put a comment…
