MASTERPIECE THEATRE I
Tabbed by: cartmenary
Go for a fairly clean tone, nothing too heavy or distorted, but with just a bit of dirt to it.
The bass is pretty low in the mix so it's tough to hear at some of the more intense parts, but
I feel like I got it pretty close regardless.
No bass in [Intro], [Verse 1], or [Pre-Chorus].
[Chorus]
Play in unison with the guitars

[Verse 2]
Bass comes in a bit under halfway through the second verse.
There is a pickup note if you want to be fancy.

[Bridge]
Initially quarter note pulse, but builds to the eighth note pulse that continues for a bit.

[Breakdown]
This part's easily the toughest to hear, but I did the best I could.
It sounds like chords played though, so if I'll update if I get something better.

[Outro]
This part's very gentle seeing as it's mostly just the vocals, piano, and the sound design.
