Intro
Here’s what the intro sounds like with guitar and bass:
Guitar
Begin the first measure by placing your 1st finger on the second fret on the “D” string. Place your 2nd finger on the third fret on the “A” string. Play that once, and then move your 2nd finger to the fourth fret on the “A” string.
Play that once, and then lift that finger off and play the string open once. Once you have done that, use your 1st finger to barre the second frets on the “D” string and the “G” string. Play that twice, allowing the “A” string
to remain open. End the measure by doing just what you did at the beginning of the measure.
Begin the second measure by playing just as you did in the middle of the first measure. End the measure by barring the same finger, the 1st finger, on the second frets of the appropriate strings.
Bass
To play the bass part of this riff, use your 1st finger on the third fret on the “A” string. Then, just use your 2nd finger for the fourth fret on the same string. Play the same string open once, and then use your 3rd finger to play the seventh fret on the “D” string twice. End the measure by using your 1st finger again for the third fret on the “A” string.
Go into the second measure by using your 2nd finger for the fourth fret on the “A” string. Notice that you did this at the beginning of the measure. Repeat the rest of this measure by using what you just learned in the first measure of this bass part.
