Click THIS to see the fretboard fingering video.




Quality may not be great via the above linked SWF video so if you think it might be useful to you in learning the tune, you may want to download the AVI video (ZIP format).

**NOTE** For some reason, depending on your system, Win Media Player may not sync the video & audio properly so I make THIS small AVI Player available from my site (it works well and is virus-free).

For purposes of learning, the tune plays quite a bit slower than normal tempo. You are given different possible finger positions for each note... use the ones that make most sense to you and are easiest for you to work with.

Please drop me a PM if this is useful to you. Also PM me if you want the XG Slow 'n Easy Bass Fretting Guide for thie entire tune.

(The full package includes notation, along with tab in pdf format. It's nice to know where your fingers go on the fretboard, but the idea behind these guides is to get you to a) know what notes correspond to which fret/string on your instrument and b) know where that note falls on the staff. Hopefully, this helps to get you started toward that end. The guide is designed with the novice bassist in mind).

Enjoy!
