A great tune written in F. Basic form is "root-octave-ninth-octave". You can get lazy
with this and just go octave-octave-ninth-octave. Or go fancy and play root-root-
octave-ninth-octave.
Notice Tony Levin is playing with a 5 string bass, a little easier b/c you don't have to
move your hand as much to hit the low F.
Anyhow, here are the basic riffs that are used over and over:
F:
G|----------| D|---3-5-3--| A|----------| E|-1--------|
Bb:
G|----------| D|---8-10-8-| A|----------| E|-6--------|
C:
G|-----------| D|--10-12-10-| A|-----------| E|-8---------|
If you have a five string bass, the F part works a little better because you don't have
to move your hands as much:
F (on a five string bass):
G|----------| D|----------| A|---8-10-8-| E|----------| B|-6--------|
