Song: Unholy Confessions Artist: Avenged Sevenfold Album: Waking the Fallen This sounds completely correct to me. The bass line prettymuch follows the guitar part. Tune to drop-D tuning(low to high: D A D G). I'm pretty sure this is played with a pick. You should be able to figure out how to articulate all of the notes from listening to the song. I call a lot of the parts bridges cuz I don't know what else to call them.

Now, just go back to the chorus again. Let the last note of the chorus ring for a little bit, then for the outro, just repeat the first bridge riff 8x through, and end on the first two notes of the riff. That's it, so enjoy.
