I hope you know you have to detune your C string (as Vic's tuned to ADGC on his tenor bass) down to a B flat? That way you get the correct interval when you hit what would be a fourth in standard tuning - but in the altered tuning is a minor third. His book of transcriptions is very clearly laid out and well worth getting if you want to learn his songs note for note.

Good luck - the reggae feel is also pretty hard to make sound as effortless as Vic does...!

I have got his book its realy good. Its a great song and one of his that has allways stood out for me. I could listen to it over and over .Vic does it so effortlessly i agree. I am tryin to decide weather to leave more love and and have a go at norwegian wood.

it's off his first solo album, a show of hands, it's track number 2

if you don't own the album, or you downloaded it( ) you can easily get track information on amazon or my favorite allmusic
