Song: Hysteria
Band: Muse
Album: Absolution
Tabbed By Talis, (TalisKharn@hotmail.com)
This is a fast and constant bass pattern, the trick is accuracy on the alternation
between the open strings and the fretted, Not sure if i find this easier played with
the fingers rather than a plectrum. It is worth noting that this is not the easiest
piece in the world to play due to the constant speed of the riff, in lamens terms be
prepared for some ache, but be assured it is worth the effort.
Listen to and play along with the song to get aquainted with the changes.
This is my first attempt at tabbing a piece so any corrections feel free.
Any comments please feel free also.
