@Corey...I still have to focus on how to put the two things together and brushes with the thumb....I put some little variations in the tune that taought me not so long ago a friend...

Excuse me, I meant Rick....

You're on the right track Andrew. Especially the second chorus where the slaps and octaves come across very well.

@Ben Jones -- Watch each of the four videos.  I slow down and isolate the bass line and then show how they fit with the melody riffs.  The best way is to learn the bass line first...
