Song: "Weak and Powerless"
Artist: A Perfect Circle (Jeordie White/Bass)
Album: Thirteenth Step
**Note**
There are several licks in this song that I can't quite
make out at the moment considering I have no bass in-hand.
I suggest you clean out them ears and do your homework!!!
Tune down 3 semi-tones to C#.
Low to Hi = C# - F# - B - E

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it.
I try to make all my tab format easy to read and understand - and since it's difficult for the general Tab reader to understand the *timing* that's written in tab, I try to incorporate the way the timing is used in Standard Notation.
Thanks again!
