Muse
Unnatural Selection
from The Resistance (2009)
Tabbed by Mr Bryce
Yo - this is my first tab, so apologies if the layout isn't too economic.
The tab itself is accurate, and easier under the finger (in my opinion) than the drop D version.
If you're unsure of timings, listen to the song (recommended for the 3/4 section).
**Guitar Pro 5 version of this tab is available if people want it.**
