Melody's Echo Chamber - Quand Vas Tu Rentrer?
from her 2012 self-titled album
Just an important thing to note - this song is in 5/4 time. It can be tricky if
you're not used to unusual time signatures, so try to get the 5/4 feel down first.

Playing it on guitar is a bit tricky like that,
so here's an easier way to play it on guitar. Just memorise
the different positions, because I'll just tab the
keyboard out for the rest of the tab:

I love this bassline so much that I've tabbed it for guitar. There's variations
that I haven't tabbed, but this is the basic template for it:

A synth plays this arpeggio - it's tricky to play on guitar
in those higher frets so you can move it down an
octave (back 12 frets) and play it like that instead:
