-During the first verse, the bass player hangs on the open e, but alters his playing during verse 2 and 3. He also plays a tricky part during the 2nd bridge. You have to listen carefully to understand the rhythm, the notes are correct. This is a good song to get a feel of moving from string to string fairly quick. Feel free to add some fills, especially during the chorus when he hangs on the e string. Good luck, The Starting Line rocks!
