Thrice – A Branch In The River (Bass Intro Tab)

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

This bass playing is really fast, so hunker down and practice your pick work. I learned this song on a normal tuning bass, but I believe Ed plays his basses in C or something crazy low. This isn't the whole song, just the intro, as I'm sure you can see. I may add more if I feel so inclined.
