    I'm not a bass player, but it seems to sound best if you play most of the bass
  • part with one finger, sliding up and down the neck. Of course, you can play
    the bass parts on a regular guitar- fretting and tuning is the same- its just
    one octave lower on a bass.

    I kept having trouble finding the right key for the vocal. Start on a 'd'.
    Here's the melody for the first line:
  • d c b b d c b b d c b b a b g
    Take off my shield carry my sword I won't need it any more
