A few weeks ago ,a friend of mine gave me a Jethro Tull album recorded on a
tape .I discovered a great band whose bassist (I don t khnow his name) amazed
me and now I think that he is one of the greatest bassists in the world (with
Tony Levin,Billy Sheehan,Stu Hamm,the great John Myung of course,...and lets
say ...Flea...why not?)
I didn t put the rests because there are too much,just listen to the song to
khow when to play them.
One last thing ,I didn t manage to find the bass solo.I you find it send it
to me: the one who manages to find it is really the king of the bass!!!!!!!!
Enjoy!

************************************************************************************
Then comes the bass solo.It is played with chords and it s really very difficult
to play.I only have a walkman tape player and my bass is an awefull Fender
Precision's imitation from Taiwan or something like that.and I forgot to say you
that I play the bass for only 5 or 6 months...So you ll understand that I didnt
manage to find this solo... :(
************************************************************************************
play a bass line quite similar to the first one:
