Hey everyone,
This is the first of what will hopefully be a long series of tutorials of some of my favourite bass lines/songs, and we’re starting with the Dream Theater song Scarred from the album Awake (1994)!
Awake (for me) features some of John Myung’s best bass work and along with Scenes From A Memory, Falling Into Infinity and Change Of Seasons represents a real halcyon period for Dream Theater. The tapped intro from Scarred was one of the first things I tried to learn when I switched to 6 string bass and having done a complete playthrough on a recent session (linked below), I thought i’d also do a quick tutorial for you all!
PDF with notation/TAB is available below. Enjoy!!
For those of you who are paid subscribers, you’ll need the expanded PDF linked below for the additional groove breakdowns!
