Unconditional Bass

(ver. 1)
The Bravery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNCONDITIONAL - The Bravery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: E A D G

This song has three main riffs to it, although each riff has an 
alternative ending playing on each last cycle thru... if you listen
carefully to the song you should follow along easy enough.

The chorus has a great spider walk across the strings although note 
that the last two notes go backwards.  I've provided an "easier" version
walking across all four strings without the reversal to practice on.

Oh, and watch out for a repeat vamping measure in 1A the first time. Enjoy!
