SOLO PART 1 - instead of playing each note twice as i have transcribed here, it is
easier to just play each note once and use a delay pedal to get the other note. i
think thats what matt does for convenience.

The changed note has an *
First part is note wise absolutelly perfect, listien to it very closely if you don't belive me. Probebly is different from how the bassist plays it, but it sounds the same.

Fourth part, same as first......the change from the third to fourth part has to flow unnoticably
