The intro & verses bass part pretty much just follows the progression
- SOL# MIb DO# MIb
..sometimes just following the bass notes, with a bit of percussion :
SOL# MIb DO# MIbA----6-x------13-13-x---11---x----13-13--x---|
E----4-x------11-11-x----9---x----11-11--x---|
..sometimes playing a walking bass part :
SOL# MIb DO# MIbE----4------4-11------11-9------9-11---------
..sometimes leaving an open e before each change :
SOL# MIb DO# MIbE----4------0-11-------0-9------0-11---------
Suggest using something like this and messing around with it :
