Inaudible Melodies Bass

(ver. 1)
Johnson Jack
The tab submitted by Chris Spence, while sounding fine, is incorrect and
too simple, missing the hammers and such. Much of Merlo's bass lines are in
higher registers on most of the album, as a quick note.

This tab should be more accurate.

Notation:
h is Hammer on
p is Pull off
/ slide

Intro: Guitar solo and drums

Bass comes in at 00:00:13, or after four measures of rest.
