Dream Theater
Dream Theater - As I Am bass tab V1.0(still some work to do)

maf.altervista.org

Play it but don't steal my work please.

The way I tab:
I'm used to consider each "-" symbol a 1/16 length note so:

                               |1   2   3   4   
			        ^	^
1/1  notes will looks this way |5---------------|
1/2  notes will looks this way |5-------5-------|
1/4  notes will looks this way |5---5---5---5---|
1/8  notes will looks this way |5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
1/16 notes will looks this way |5555555555555555|

TRIPLETS: Marked with a |-3-| and written with the triplet note length as above
Example: this is a 8th notes triplet (in a full beat) so the whole triplet is 1/4 long.

 1   2     3   4	
     |--3-|
|-----------------4|
|----6-----p-----3-|
|--2---8-6------2--|
|1-------------1---|

p=pause H=hammer P=pulloff h=harmonic and all the other usual stuff you know.
vb=vibrato b&r=bend and relase

Ready to go!
P.S. 6 strings guys should look out for harmonics at beginning.
