Subject: TAB/BTAB: anxious mofo-MINUTEMEN


Although I don’t play bass very well, I’ve tried the best I could to get
the bass parts down, as the vibe between d. and mike is crucial.

My apologies for any inaccuracies. If you spot any, drop me a line
please. Also, if there are other people out there who are deeply
into the Minutemen and playing them, drop me a line.
