The Cure - Screw bass tab
The Cure . "Screw" from The Head on the Door . Bass Tab
Standard Tuning(EADG)
Mostly the same 2 riffs over and over with some slight variation at the
beginning of the riff. Listen to the song to pick out the rhythm.
Played with a pick (like you mean it) and with heavy distortion...
