Ok, goth freaks who play bass...if there are any of you out there...well, I'm not a goth freak, I just like some goth bands, like Bauhaus & Siouxsie & the Banshees. This is my favorite Bauhaus song, & it happens to have a really cool bassline.
slow rock--count in 4 or a slow 2
standard tuning, but may need to be tuned up to the cd cuz I do
\=slide down; /=slide up
