Not sure that Gene played on this one. There are relatively few of his trademark moves. It is a good bassline though. Supportive without being too mundane and with some slight variations to spice things up. The strange thing is in the chorus where the bass plays a G# over what appears to be a B-chord played by the acoustic guitar. It is doubly hard to tell what the chord as a whole actually is since the overdriven guitar plays a little thing that could easily be both G#(m) and B. (But, a G#m doesnĄt seem to sound right when played by the acoustic.) Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum
