This is just the rock part of Dancing Mad, which begins twelve
minutes into the soundtrack version.  I've made both four- and
five-string versions, and marked the time signatures off to the
right.

Scroll down for five-string version.

I noticed this was rated 2

I noticed this was rated 2 stars, so I decided to figure out what was wrong with it. It was about nine hundred transcriptions ago, so unsurprisingly, there was a wrong note. I fixed it!

Another criticism is how I wrote the rhythm out back then. In 2009, I updated it on my hard drive to look like this, which is hopefully easier to follow. (I'm not sure--writing everything syncopated and crossing beat boundaries without tied notes can be obnoxious, but in this case hopefully it's a good idea.) Unfortunately, I never bothered to upload the updated version until now.

Anyway, hopefully the tab's better now :-) It's one of my favorite songs to play on bass, so it's not like the tab's particularly hard to play or anything.
