Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

song - cigarette burns forever artist - adam green fairly simple but very cool bassline with a surprising amount of variation in the way it's played throughout the song. with that said, watch out for the little changes. the rhythm has a lot of syncopation and dotted notes but once you get it down it's not that bad. [verse 1] (0:07, "cigarette burns forever, the messages splice together...")

(because of the fadeout, the bass is inaudible at the end, so i actually added the last two bars. that's probably how it'd finish if it continued, so if playing live play until then, and if playing along to the track you can stop before the last two bars)
