The intro is keyboards with bass and six-string bass.
The Bass goes something like this:
A |--5--555-55-55-555-5/7-7-7-77-7777/8-8-8-88/10-10-101010/12-
A |--12-12-1212-12/151515\
And I STRESS something like that.
The 6-string bass is SOMETHING LIKE this:
It may look dumb to play so high, but if you don't have a six-string
bass, it sounds best to play this on wrapped strings, so it's on
the highest wrapped string (D).
D |-12-12-12-12--12-12-12--12-14---|--------------------------------
A |------------------------------15|15-13-12-12-12-13-12------------
G |--------------------------------|---------------------13---------
D |-----------------------------------------------------------------
A |-----------------------------------------------------------------
G |13-15-13-15-13151315/17-17---------------------------------------
Throught out the song, the bass changes (I have no idea!), but the
six string just adds some of the notes that are already there.
Listen to the CD to see what I'm talking about. The solo will be
posted soon, that's on an overdriven 6-string guitar, not bass.
