Slashs Snakepit - Been There Lately Bass

Been There Lately - Slash's Snakepit

The slightly tricky bit it the timing, listen to the changes in the song & you wont go far wrong

During the song Johnny Griparic tends to slide between octaves on most
sections, once you have become familiar with the basic structure
you can try this yourself, it makes for a great bass line
and goes down great when preformed live.

Please rate ;-)

All the best
