Flea - Around the World

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys i'm trying to learn the bassline for around the world and i have a sticking point at bit in the verse where he plays the quick succession of notes: it think its something like B-C-B-C-B-C then A-A#-A-A#-A-A#. if anyone one knows how to play the song and can help it would be great. i'm not sure if its best to play the first note then hammer-on pull-off the rest.

cheers, jass on bass

I've just learnt the Yokohama intro and version - awesome stuff, I'm not sure what part in the verse you mean though as that doesn't look at all familiar.... Maybe you could point out what part it is in the song, either the mp3 or youtube vid link.

+ Which verse?

I play this song live fairly often and I'm not recognizing the part you're talking about. Point me to which exact point in the song and I can help you.

yeah I know where it is, just play it as you do it now, hammering on and pulling off quickly.

Yep. It isn't a hammer-on/pull-off.
