gtr. 1 continues this riff throughout the solo
SOLO:
played with slide (saw it live)
place the slide not between the frets but over them to get the best tone

A|9--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
the bend in brackets at the end is only played at the second time
LAST VERSE:
the scratchy sounds that can be heard while only bass is playing are done like this:
harmonics
play two notes with by barring with the ring-finger
otherwise if you use 2 fingers for the 2 notes one finger - ring or pinky -
is likely not to be exactly over the fret
