Band: Muse Song: Undisclosed Desires Album: The Resistance (2009) Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme ! Please note that Chris is playing only slap & pop parts (choruses and verse before the last chorus) ! Everything else, that's not slap & pop, is performed on synth by Morgan. This rhythm you see below (with the 3s on E) is just the way how I prefer to play it so you can use my approach or choose any other rhythm of your liking. Also, feel free to substitute those 3s on E with 5s on D if you like that better (which would be more correct, I think). Anyway, here's the song:
