Earthless - Flower Travelin Man

Utilizing the open E string, the 5th and 7th frets of the A string and the 5th fret of the D string you should be able to play 99% of the bass parts performed in that track.

The main riff sounds like

------------
----------5-
777--5777-7
----0-------

He alternates between the 7th fret and the 5th fret of the A string for the first note of the phrase, so feel alternate as your heart sees fit.

BTW, their guitarist Isaiah's dad is a member of this forum. Met him at the SD get together a while ago, real nice guy.
 
Great song/band.. and also loved to cover it!
SirPsycho, what you got is similar to the unrepresented`s riff?

the bass player (Mike Eginton) is also a member of talk bass... maybe he can help us out! ahahahh
