"Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz--bassline


One of the coolest basslines I've heard in a while...there's only 2 parts to it, but the 2nd part involves slapping (I think) & popping, so have fun!!

*=slap if you can...if not, just pluck string like normal
@=pop (1st or middle finger)
^=slur

figure 1--intro & chorus "I want to get away"
