King Crimson - Thela Hun Gingeet Bass

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Great Krimson classic!  Tony Levin is amazing.  Play around 140BPM.
Hopefully the note durations will give you an idea of the rhythm, 
or you can just listen to the song...

Intro/Verse (E minor) (Play the first bar only once, 
then repeat the second measure)

For the noisy parts when there isn't much bass, just play 
around with the low F# and theoctaves; that's what it 
sounds like T. Lev is doing.

These are a couple variations.  Throw them in at your leisure 
(they are actually in the song at some points - The first is 
an Intro variation, the other is a lead-in to the Pre-verse.)
