Standard tuning
Comments: Regardless of who played this part, and I donґt think itґs Gene,
he had a relatively easy job. Sure, there are a few minor variations but all
in all this is a breeze, kind of the ultimate live song for the bass player.
Just pump open Aґs for three fourths of the song and wave to the crowd. This
Song was previously tabbed by Greg Miranda and his tab missed the few
variations that do occur and was, in my mind, kind of hard to read. No part
of his original tab has been used in this one.
