Bass Tab for Vortex Transcribed by Mark Smeets Email: [email protected] http://www.smartt.com/~jsmeets/stranger/Front.htm Notes: The ending is the hardest part of this song. I can't even feel my way through the rythm until the half time part and even that took a lot of work. Otherwise this song is very straight forward and there is nothing hard about it.

Solo 2/Outro I have NO clue how to write this out because I can't even figure out when to change notes. I know the notes, that was the easy part but if you can figure out the timing, well, then at least someone can. I was however able to get the half time section of this outro. (by some miracle) The notes for both sections are the same (A, G#, G, F#, F, E - Chromatic) and hopefully that is enough to get you started. Half time - 3rd time, Repeat till end I------------------------------------------------------------I I------------------------------------------------------------I I--------------------------------------------------------3---I I-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0--5--3-5-5--I
