Agadez (Bass tab) - The Mars Volta
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : Wallnut
Tuning:EADG
First off, I realize that most of the second half of my tab is hard to understand, but i
tried to use symbols instead of writing "32 dotted"
in the rhythm section. If anyone has any better way of writing it, please leave a comment
(or if anyone has a better idea of that time signature)
At the end of the day, its Mars Volta, so you should expect complicated!
(Rhythm is shown at the top of each stave.)
