Unholy Confessions Bass Tabs by Avenged Sevenfold

Song: Unholy Confessions
Artist: Avenged Sevenfold
Album: Waking the Fallen

This sounds completely correct to me. The bass line prettymuch follows the
guitar part. Tune to drop-D tuning(low to high: D A D G). I'm pretty sure this
is played with a pick. You should be able to figure out how to articulate all
of the notes from listening to the song. I call a lot of the parts bridges cuz
I don't know what else to call them.

Intro(bass enters at 0:07):

Bridge #2: Part 4:(end half time feel)   (this riff is half time feel again)
|-------------------------------|      |-----------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|      |-----------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|(12x) |-----------------------------------|
|0-0--------00000---------------|      |0-6^---0-5^---0-5^---0-3-0-5---2---|

End of Bridge #2. Now, just go back to the chorus again. Let the last note of the
chorus ring for a little bit, then for the outro, just repeat the first bridge riff
8x through, and end on the first two notes of the riff. That's it, so enjoy.
