~ http://www.basstabarchive.com I saw this song requested and always liked
the bassline so I figured i'd post
it! It's in standard tuning (EADG). Another
great bassline by John Paul Jones. It's pretty
straightforward except that there ALOT of little articulations
(especially in the slides) that are great practice to learn
and really add alot to the song. Most of what you can
learn from someone else's basslines comes from learning
all the little "licks" and "articulations" that the
great ones are masters of. Therefore, i've tried to
notate as best I can alot of the little things he does.
Good Luck!
