RADIOHEAD - "OPTIMISTIC" Bass "IMROV" section: -This is the section of "bass improv" before the "jazz breakdown outro". I've seen that it was tabbed with a note to improv on the high "D" string, so I decided tab the whole thing out a la album version(Kid A) because it does a bit more than just on the high "D". Some of the timing is tricky, so listen while you play. Side Note: I'm not positive if the triplets that you will see are regarded as 1/4 note 1/8 note triplets, so once again, if you are thrown off by that, just listen to the song.
