This is probably my all time favorite song to play on bass. Such sexy bass 

lines. <3 This is actually a pretty simple song, though.

BREAK-DOWN:
   Most people seem to play this routed on 5 on the the A string, but
   I think the heavy bass of playing it at 10 on the E string sounds
   better. It can be played either way.
