Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com
Standard tuning
Comments: There´s not much to this bassline but it is the very
spine of the song. If it doesn´t lock in, the song falls flat.
Dig the half-step approach notes which give things a slightly
swaying feel in the bridge.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
Tp = Tap w\plectrum
