I just bought a new short scale base two weeks ago and have been learning the bass part of this song. The instrumental break is a little bit of a challenge. I have been away from bass playing for several years and fortunately I can still read music. The timing is what is what I have the most trouble with but there are a few tutorials that have the music notation as well as the tab and that makes it a whole lot easier.

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy this version of the guitar lesson.

[kdamon]

Great lesson but all the stops and starts and ‘oh and you can also do this’ made it a bit of a challenge to string together.

What are the chords during the harmonica solo?

[cleftturnip]

I would find it useful if you would play it through once before getting into the lesson.
