Spice Of Life Bass

(ver. 1)
Beck
Notes: All strings tuned a half step down. (Match up to the little blurb played
before the song starts, he goes through
all the strings then hits 5 on the 4th [D#] string)
I'm bad at spacing out the rhythm,
but if you just listen to the song and follow along, you'll get it. :)
(Also, Im not exactly sure about the little blurbs (where i wrote 'Maybe')
they sound right to me most of the time, but i'm not 100% sure.
If you can correct me, feel free.)
A lot of the parts change a little bit each time so, I wrote out every pert individually,
even the ones that are just repeats.
