Fear Bass

Creed - Fear
From the 'Full Circle' Album
5 string Bass tuning
tabbed by jjhand
 
Fear is probably the most aggressive sounding song on Full Circle. This
tricky fast paced song has the bass playing in unison with Mark Tremonti's
fast sixteenths in each riff so its quite challenging. Please rate/comment.
