"Heir Apparent" from Opeth's "Watershed" album (2008).
Feels very good to FINALLY cover this song. I transcribed the first minute back in 2019 and gave up instantly. I could not make out the basslines at all. However, an absolute legend uploaded the actual bass track to Youtube so I can confirm that this tab is very very close in terms of accuracy. I think it's also the only Opeth track ever where Martin used a pick to play a fast part. It does sound like he switched a lot from pick to fingers and back again. Instead of putting the pick in your mouth again at 6:06, you can also just.. I don't know, throw it on the ground. And yes, the weird part at 7:12 is not the same as the isolated track, I know. Nobody can slap and then magically use a pick 0,1 seconds later. I changed that part slightly to make it a little bit easier to play. It's basically freestyle which is impossible to transcribe. Everything is fine as long as you end up reaching the 12th fret in time.
