Rocky Road to Dublin

Sign in to disble this ad
Listening to Pandora and this band "the Irish Experience" did a cover of the rocky road to dublin.

Half way through there is an insane bass solo.

Does anyone know where I can get a downloadable copy of the song so I can learn that solo? Also if I can get help Identifying the note structure would be great. I'm trying to stray away from tabs. I've gotten to the point that I know when I'm playing a song wrong but can't quite figure out what the right notes are. So pointers on that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just got done listening to this version of the song. Fun indeed and the bass solo to break things up works well.

My ears could be deceiving me but he sounds like he's hammering on between c and d and walking around in that area a bit. I'm sick and my ears are plugged so I'm not on my game.
