Here's my take on Papercut. I've tried to be as detailed as possible
even down to the single note differences (you can see that on
the outro).
The intro and chorus don’t sound right at first. At first I thought
it went:
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|-------7\6-6\2--2-2-----2h4-|
E|----------------------4-----|
B|-2-2-2----------------------|
But it didn’t quite sound right. If you listen really carefully
you can hear it is actually how I’ve written it below.
You might want to play it the way I’ve written it above, it kinda
sounds better, but I promise you the one below is more accurate.
Also you can play the outro in 3 different hand positions. I’ve
written the one I find the most comfortable and sounds the best
on my bass.
Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.
