Solitary Shell - Dream Theater Bass Cover Transcription

John Myung's incredible bass line on "Solitary Shell" by Dream Theater from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Myung is putting on a master class on this overlooked bass part on this amazing album. Lots to learn from the master here.

Transcription can be found at the link below. There are a few spots in the sheet music where I should/could have written it better, more specific in beaming to the time signature or breaking up the time signatures to two bars and so on but opted for what make more sense with the feel and reading.
