Standard tuning

Comments: There´s not much to this bassline but it is the very
spine of the song. If it doesn´t lock in, the song falls flat.
Dig the half-step approach notes which give things a slightly
swaying feel in the bridge. 

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
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
