Pretty simple song, it's mainly about playing the root note of the guitar during the chorus and the bridge and keeping a solid bassline during the verses. [Intro] No Bass [Verse 1] Start at 4 seconds

Be careful, the transition can be a bit tricky! The bass fades around the end of the 27th/28th bass note, then the bass goes silent for two seconds and enters with the guitar. [Chorus 1] Start at 51 seconds Follow the guitar

Then silence for 3 seconds then enter with the guitar. [End] Start at 4.17 Same as the intro except that the bassline is irregular, I recommand that you have fun trying different patterns on this bassline, here's mine for instance.

The last bassline fades progressively, so decrease the volume more and more until the end.
