"The Spirit Carries On" from Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory" album (1999).
Not the most exciting song in the world when it comes to bass, but it's much harder than you might think! This song is one big variation, basically. I don't know how John plays this live but he probably just sticks to the chord progression, rather than remembering what he played in this version. Oh and also, please don't request The Dance of Eternity after seeing this cover lol.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.

The funny thing is that even with the constant variations, this is one of the easier Dream Theater songs on bass lol.

The best balad ever of Dream theater. Aparently its the easy one BUT must take care about the variations a intentions of every single note and you do it very well man!. Good job!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks a lot!

It surely is easier to play than others. But i always keep the good advice from my bass teacher in mind: always to practice to accompany a slower ballad. So I guess it would be good training to go through Leo's tabs here and then just play along to the song with just the sheet. He was this kind of musician who played 5 gigs with different bands a week to get along and there was no time to practice new material. My approach is to balance this approach and learning songs closely to broaden my repertoire. I wonder how he would like DT, since I remember him only listening to soul and funk when I arrived for practice. Don't know why I leave this comment now and here but playing along to your tab just reminded me. :)

[@JohnMatayas]

There's something so snobby about 5 string basses...

[@akblueberry104]

just angy we can go an octave lower aint ya?

[@abanana96]

Myung actually uses a 6-string bass anyways

[@ripperplaysclon152]

@@abanana96 A six-string is just a five string with an added high C.

[@skinbagmusic9530]

but without that low D, 4:51 wouldnt be nearly as beautiful
