Hey this is the bass tab to the song "Viridian" by Between the Buried and Me.
Dan Briggs plays this solo on a 24 fret bass, and the minimum number frets to
play it at C# (BTBAM's tuning) is a 23. However if you only have 22 (which is
usually the normal number of frets on most basses) just tune to D standard
and play the transcribed notes on fret lower than written.
This is a very tough song to learn and play and Dan comes in at some really
strange times, so take it nice and slowly and keep at it! When you finally get
it down it sounds amazing.
Tuning: C# Standard
