How Long Bass

As with my other tabs, this is meant to be more linear to convey a rough sense of timing. One dash equals
one eighth note. To make this work, frets above 9 are represented by letters, where A=10th fret, B=11th fret,
etc. Otherwise double-digit fret references would extend the width of the bars, breaking the appearance for
timing.
