>From the Album Travelling without moving.

     This is a really cool bass line and has a lot of funk to it.  Also the verses really make you want to kick loose and play a lot. But surprisingly the bassist for this band really holds back and it really pays off in the whole feel of the song.  Have fun!

   Continue Chorus Passage Until the Chorus ends. With A slight Improvisation in the First Emin7 Bar.

   The Above parts are the only two parts to the songs and there is very little if any improvisation on these parts throughout the song Until the outro.  I put down some of the licks used to finish the chorus chord progression in the outro.

   Near the end of the song the bassist start to kick loose a little more but It's pretty easy to fake as long as you stay within the chord changes.  And stick to Root,5,7 Type stuff.
