Agadez by Mars Volta ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agadez (Bass tab) - The Mars Volta ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Wallnut Tuning:EADG First off, I realize that most of the second half of my tab is hard to understand, but i tried to use symbols instead of writing "32 dotted" in the rhythm section. If anyone has any better way of writing it, please leave a comment (or if anyone has a better idea of that time signature) At the end of the day, its Mars Volta, so you should expect complicated! (Rhythm is shown at the top of each stave.)
