Dwight Yoakam - Fast As You Bass

      Fast As You - Dwight Yoakam
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Great song by one of country's greatest. The bass simply plays what the guitar plays, 
the main riff is the same on guitar.

 For any beginner bassists looking at this tab it takes a while before your fingers get 
used to the stretching from 3 to 6.
