WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Alice In Chains - Stone Bass | Ver. 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bassist: Mike Inez
Tuning: Drop Db/Drop C# (Db,Ab,Db,Gb / C#,G#,C#,F#)
*Author's Note(4/24/2013): I don't consider this tab 100% correct or complete.
There are some sections of the song that are pretty well buried beneath the guitar
tracks. I plan on updating it as live performance video footage becomes available
in the coming weeks/months. As of the writing of this tab, there is only one readily
available live performance to go off of. As well as the music video, in which
Inez's hands are rarely seen for more than a second at a time. So this is the best
I can offer at this point. Any suggestions for corrections, please contact me here
about the main riff is that if you're having trouble for one reason or another
making the full-step bend on the 3rd fret, try it from the 4th. It's technically
incorrect, but it's a decent shortcut if you're running into trouble with it.
