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
Any comments/improvements, etc. welcome.
Now go find yourself a bass player!
