Im about half way or so through it now, from very sporatic playing and only starting to learn it 4-5 days ago

Play 5 - 10 seconds of it over and over and hum along, then turn off the tape player, hum along to your bass til it jives, then play the next 5 - 10 seconds. That was what I did anyway. |

That last chord though... Man that one was a doozie to learn by ear. I cheated and went for internet tabs. I just had no idea where those harmonics were. They were literally one of the last places I would look. |
