Big Thief – 12000 Lines (Bass Tab)

Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

The song is pretty simple to play but like most Big Thief bass lines some notes are played off the beat you would expect them to be played on. I would recommend listening to the song to get the timing down as my tabbing skills can't capture the beautiful nuances of Max's playing! Thanks you :) [Intro]
