The Mars Volta
Roulette Dares (the haunt)
tabbed by Dan Van Heuklom
I find this song easiest to count in 6/4. I've tried here to show the timing, because its so important to this song. I'm not 100% sure on all these fingerings, but the way i show it here sounds closest to the recording.

cause it just gets too confusing to notate
