This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Liquid Tension Experiment

Universal Mind Bass Tab

Artist: Tony Levin

Tabbed by Justin Sepulveda and Rob Lichtenberger

Here is the full bass tab of Universal Mind. Like I said before, this tab may not be fully accurate because of the

fact that it is done on a chapman stick. Rob helped me finish this song. As a matter of fact, he finished everything

that I had not completed the first time I tabbed this.
