------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYSTERIA - Muse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: dishbat E-mail: dishbat@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard (E A D G) Preface: I have separated out the tablature into the individual patterns/elements that are played so that it may help with memorization, since this song involves a lot of repetition. It also allows me to label the transitions into the next song element, which often involves a small variation. These transitions appear in the tab as Ending 1/Ending 2 as you may have encountered in sheet music. Ending 1 will often indicate you should return to the beginning of that pattern/element and repeat it, whereas taking Ending 2 will allow you to progress to the next section of the song. Unfortunately, this means you may have to do some backtracking with your eyes initially as you are learning how the parts fit together. Please take note of the Song Structure at the bottom of the tab, as this will help you keep track of the number of repeats in each section. Below that, I will also post the entirety of the tab with all the transitions tabbed out in order for those who may wish to print out a paper copy. I would also highly recommend listening to the isolated bass track because it will be much easier to discern pitches, rhythms, tone, etc of the bass part without the rest of the instruments on top. Fortunately, there are several uploads of the isolated bass track for Hysteria on Youtube. You may find them useful now, especially since the CHORUS rhythm can be a little tricky to get perfect. On a personal note and at the risk of appearing like an arrogant buffoon, I would like to state that I transcribed this bass tab by ear directly from the isolated track, compared it to video footage for hand positions and formatted it myself. I do not agree with people taking the work of others even if credit is given in name, since I feel original tabbers should take care to be as accurate as possible before releasing. If later tabs do end up being more accurate, views should be directed to them instead. (Sorry, this is my least favourite part of the tab too!) Thank you for bearing through the wall of text. Now on to the tab!

I apologize, I couldn't think of a prettier or less confusing way to label them because of the variations. Since each appearance of the Chorus involves repeating the CHORUS pattern twice, it will read as so: **One Complete Chorus** = CHORUS-Ending 1-CHORUS–Ending 2/3 (For more repeats of the CHORUS pattern, such as during the Guitar Solo into Chorus, simply take Ending 1 additional times) BREAKDOWN: G|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
