Nickelback - Figured You Out Bass

Album:	    The Long Road
Bassist:    Mike Kroeger
Tuning:	    Standard 5-string (BEADG low-to-high)

Performance Notes

The muted strings under the pre-chorus are very hard to hear and Mike may not play them
at all.  The first two measures of the chorus could be played in the first position on the
A and E strings but this sounds much fuller and makes getting the Eb passing tone easier.
The middle break is heavily palm muted.
