    Crimson (Deluxe Version...

Man there are no good bass tabs for this out there. Evreryone misses out the blatantly 
fill/riff in the intro/chorus tch.
Anyway, one of my favs off Crimson, and the bass is very quiet so just listen REALLY 
and you'll see that I've got everything right :D.

                           ^this is still the drum solo bit. Listen
                            closely and you hear that while Matt is
                            letting the chords ring still, Dan begins
                            to pluck along lightly
