One damn good bass part. *A NOTE about the pick usage: yes, Emma is a BEAST -- she both slaps and uses a pick in one and most likely fingers also, for instance during the pre-chorus (it sounds too rich be picked but I could be wrong). I have combined slapping/fingering/picking in songs and what I do is to keep a pick or two between my lips, then quickly grab it when and just let it drop when I’m done with it. This was a beech to tab, and it might not be absolutely perfect, but pretty darn close the least. Enjoy. --your friendly neighborhood Booflesnazzer
