I don't know what key the song is in, but this is the bass
line in the key of G. You can move it around as you see fit.
A brief note: this is pieced together from the whole song,
and the bassist he is using in this version is really good
and likes to improvise; don't expect this to fit the whole
thing. Besides, some of it's probably wrong from the get go.
It's basic triplet rhythm, and if there isn't a note on a
beat, it's a rest. The turnaround is the way I heard it,
but it may be played on the D root instead of the G.
A final note: You find a problem, TELL ME!
I wanna fix it.
