@audiodrummer1 cheers man - appreciate the support!!!!! Yea, I guess there's a lot of people out there that don't appreciate good musicianship.... The rest of us LOVE Dream Theater!!!! :) :)

dude ur good. i just need 2 know where u learned that cuz i want the bass tab.

[AlexGeoffreyForbes]

@mjk11outdoors thx for the comment man!!! Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a good bass tab for this either... basically, I just grabbed the guitar tab, and combined with a bit of 'by ear' and 'improv'. Myung follows Petrucci through a fair bit of this song, so hopefully by using guitar tab (and watching this vid), you should be able to pick up a fair bit of it.... Good Luck - it's worth the effort...!!!! :)

nice bass. whats musicman basses best known for? as in which aspect in the musical sense?

[AlexGeoffreyForbes]

Thx dude!

I like Musicman for its tone when slappin / poppin (though I think the Stingray is an awesome product and sounds good fingerpicking as well)... Search Youtube for "Louis Johnson Slapbass"

- that was the vid that sold me :) :)

Pics a bit dark but made up for it with sound, and track

[Muscle462Memory]

What kind of cab are you using?

[Aleciano]

Perfect playing! Need only a more "slap" or agressive sound. :D

[r1c0ch3t211]

Great cover, I can play this but your tone and consistency blows mine out of the water. Nice job.

@mjk11outdoors & @AlexGeoffreyForbes

I found a bass tab for a four string on this song (Look for it on 911tabs)

The guy who made it admits it's wrong... but surely it helps. (It looks like the intro you are playing is the as on the tab, which is nice, because it's the only part I've gotten down ;)

I do believe Myung plays this on a 5 or 6-string, though...

thumbs up and respect

[huskybones]

Nice work bro. I'm not that familiar with the song but I can see that you put in the time.
