Here's how the structure of the song is with all the rhythm figures put together: Rhy. fig. 1: 10x Rhy. fig. 2: 1x Rhy. fig. 1: 8x Rhy. fig. 2: 1x Rhy. fig. 1: 8x Rhy. fig. 2: 1x Rhy. fig. 1: 4x Rhy. fig. 3: 4x Rhy. fig. 4: 7x Rhy. fig. 5: 1x This is the entire bass tab to "A Forest." The two C's beginning rhythm figure 2 two are kind of subtle and act as a change to the chorus. I hope this is one of the most thorough and accurate bass tabs you've ever seen.
