Band: Muse Album: Black Holes And Revelations (2006) Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme Note: Some of the following tabs are mine and some not. For those tabs that aren't mine I wrote down every owners name at the beginning of tab. Thank You guys - You did great work on those tabs. !!! If here are some errors then let me know about them before You rate this tab. Leave Your message in comments. !!! ============================================================================= 01.

Invincible ============================================================================= This tab is very similar to TJ1991's tab because I also retune only one string to play this song, but my tab have some differences. Tune Your D to C and check this out. If You don't want to play like this then skip this tab and watch for it somewhere else. I heard that Chris plays it with FCFC tuning but I don't know anything about it and actually I don't want to because that means that I need to retune all 4 strings instead of one.

Assassin ============================================================================= Note: This is Grand Omega Bosses Edit version. Both versions have intro on bass but it's a little bit tricky because Chris used for this song Fender American Deluxe 5 string bass with guitar string tuned A. However I didn't add that string because I don't really know which notes Chris play on that string (maybe he didn't play them at all). First I thought that it's a D string but read in Musewiki that this was A string.
