Cousins Bass Tab - tabbed by Maisnon, january 2010 I'm a guitar player myself, but playing just the guitar part when I'm alone sounded pretty dull, since the verse is only supported by the bass. I decided to tab the bass part as well therefore. I think it turned out pretty nice, let me know if you got any feedback. There are bound to be some small errors, since this is also the first tab I made. The melody is pretty straightforward and easy, but the difficulty is in the speed of the song and the tremolo picking. Have fun! Intro / Fill Riff (tremolo picked)
