Octahedron (2009)
Bassist: Juan Alderete
The chorus has very minute variations by Juan but they don't vary from the notes that
tabbed out. This should be about 93% on.
Intro/Verse:
(0:10)
Variation 1: G|---------------------------| D|-------------------------3-| A|------------0-3-5-6---6----| E|-----(3)-------------------| Variation 2: G|-----------------------------| D|-------------------------3-6-| A|------------0-3-5-6----------| E|-----(3)---------------------| Variation 3: G|-----------------------------| D|-------------------------6-3-| A|------------0-3-5-6----------| E|-----(3)---------------------|

Timing on this is strange. Listen to pick it up.
