Wonderland By Big Country
Tony Butlers bass lines are somewhat undervalued in the
big country fan community even though they are very complex and innovative.
TB has started a new vlog type video where he says he will teach a BC bass line at
the end of each video, this has been tabbed from the first one: https://youtu.be/k6z6OAmhVSo
it may not be 100% accruate but it should serve as a tool to help you get through the video. also
be aware that in the record the bass cuts out in certain verses on the record. TB uses a pick.
[Intro 1]
(For the videos version to match the record, you
have to start 4 measures earlier than on the record)
