-This is the main structure of the song though of course there
are a few things that change ie., bass line does some funky
random things that I haven’t outlined. This sounds great with
at least 2 guitar players.
-Bass b) is played at the end of the second time the
main bass line (Bass a)) is played during the chorus.
-All parts transcribed for guitar
