Eriatarka - The Mars Volta
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the many Mars Volta bass tabs I submitted to UG. I take no credit for
because none of them are mine. I submitted them here because of the lack of Mars Volta bass tabs.
Band – Mars Volta
Song – Eriatarka
-Album – Deloused in the Comatorium
Tabbed by underthebridge1992
Standard Tuning E A D G
This is probably the most complicated song I’ve tabbed out yet. It’s pretty easy to play
though apart from the timing.
