I hope you like it. As you might expect, I haven't \r\nwritten out all of Victor's variations, but I've tried to give some pointers as to \r\nhow they go. If you find mistakes or want to write out one of the difficult \r\nvariations, please contact me by email! [adk@comlab.ox.ac.uk]\r\n\r\nThere's also the slight problem that the album track has 2 bass tracks! I've tabbed\r\nout the interesting line.\r\n\r\nThis piece is written for fretless bass, I guess a 5-string. I've tabbed it for \r\n4-string in *Drop D Tuning* (i.e. DADG from bottom up) since that covers (very nearly) \r\nall the notes and fits okay under the fingers.\r\n\r\nFinally, I have to say that ascii tab suffers from not being able to give the note\r\ntimings properly. I've just written 1,2,3,4 above the bars and you'll have to listen\r\nto the song yourself to get them exact. The piece sounds much better played in perfect\r\ntime than slightly wrong! Of course, you'll also have to work out which order the \r\nvarious sections of the song are played in too.\r\n\r\n\r\n The Music: \r\n------------\r\n\r\nKey: x      = ghost note\r\n     \\ or / = slide\r\n     (7)    = quiet note, or optional note added in variations\r\n     <5>    = harmonic\r\n\r\nIntroduction. Starts with open bottom D string, and play some harmonics if \r\nyou like, then:\r\n\r\n[tab](Slowly, with vibrato)\r\nG-----------------------------------------------\r\nD--------------------/9----7-5------------------\r\nA-5----7--9---7-5-7--------------9-7-5----------\r\nD-----------------------------------------(7)---[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nMain riff.
