I have reason to belive their bassist plays in Drop D, in most of the live shows (The Seer specifically
you can tell the bassist is playing an open D chord) it also just makes sense considering most songs
are in the key of D.
The Bassline starts at 0:25
G|----------|
D|----------|
A|----------|
D|--7----7--|
At 1:12 I can't really hear if its bass or not but it sounds correct.
G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|----------7-7-|
D|--7----7------|
The bassline starts following the vocals at 4:44
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------| x2
D|--7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5--|
-------Repeat this till the vocals stop
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------| x2
D|--7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9--|
When the vocals stop go back to this
G|----------|
D|----------|
A|----------|
D|--7----7--|
[Outro]
At 7:44 I play it with a bit of overdrive and with my neck pickup turned off.
TREMELO PICKING
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|--0-3-2-\-8-7-5-7-5-0-|
D|----------------------|
8:38 End with open an open A-string
G|------|
D|------|
A|--0~--|
D|------|
