Final Fantasy I - Battle BASS TAB
Song by Nobuo Uematsu
Tabbed by auriplane ([email protected])
There's already a good tab for this, but I thought I'd tab out another way to
play it, which includes some of the higher stuff, which is also played on the
triangle wave part.
EDIT: I've updated the GP5 to go with the recording I did, it includes the guitar
parts as well. It's not exactly the same as this, but the text below is slightly
more true to the original.
Five-string bass, standard tuning.
