The Hard Sell Bass

(ver. 1)
Coheed And Cambria
The Hard Sell
Coheed and Cambria
The Afterman: Descension


Tuning: Drop D


Listen carefully to the song for timing.  The fills are
accurate but their timing isn't very well represented
though I tried my best for relative note by note spacing.

Have fun with this one!

**()** Parentheses are added here because, strangely, the bass fades out of
the mix for the last part of the guitar/bass/vocal harmony.  The last 2 notes
(E and B) aren't audible for the bass.  I added them as that's what
corresponds with the guitar line.
