Ben Harper - Ground On Down Bass

This should be played on a 5-string, but you can fill out the low notes with muffled strings and 4th/5th notes of the chord.


Main riff:

G|------------------------|
D|------------------10/13-|
A|-3-x-x-1-x--------------|
E|------------1-1-x-------|

Played in 4-bar measures with a fill in the last bar.
Here are a few of the main fills, but there's room to improvise

Fill 1:                           Fill 2:

G|-----------------------------|  G|---------------------------|
D|------------------10-10/15-13|  D|----------------------1----|
A|-3--3-3-1--1-----------------|  A|-3--3-3-1--1--------3--1h3-|
E|-------------1-1-------------|  E|-------------1-1--1--------|

Fill 3:                           Fill 4:
                                                      . ^ . .
G|--------------------------|     G|--------------------------|    
D|---------------3-1h3h3----|     D|--------------------1-----|    
A|-3--3-3-1--1----------3-1-|     A|-3--3-3-1--1----------1-3-|    
E|-------------1------------|     E|-------------1-1--1-------|


Bridge:                        
                               |1.         |2.
G|---------|---------|---------|-----------|----------|
D|---------|---------|---------|----------*|----------|
A|3333-3333|3333-3333|3333-3333|333-------*|-3--1-----|
E|---------|---------|---------|---1-1111--|-------1--|

Ideally, use a low C instead of an F in the 1st run through - then it's back to the main riff for the solo and final verses.
