alright this next part is all fingerpicking, the low notes sound like bass but fleas off doing his own little thing so it cant possibly be bass ok? Yes I know, but once u play it ull hear it, it also helps if u have the bass up on ur amp cause the song sounds like *** if you have mosly treble and mid.
