: The Garden
Artist: Guns 'n' Roses
Album: Use Your Illusion 1
Bass performance by Michael 'Duff' McKagan
Tabbed by Joseph 'Boycie' Boyce
Notes: Remember that this song requires the bass guitar to be tuned to Eb (half-step down).
Use plenty of octave jumps and descending scales during the solos/outro for that classic Duff effect.
