*You can palm mute the 3's for some flavor if you think it
sounds better. Remember, E3 and D5 are both G, but playing
the low G the second time sounds better for the lead in to
the chorus. This is an example of adding your own touch, you
may want to add a few notes here and there to keep up with your
guitarist.

The bass is difficult to pick up in the mix during the
chorus. If you boost the 125 range on your EQ it's a bit
easier to hear and it sounds like he's hitting the notes in
synch with the drum beats. You can always try double time
here if you can maintain the tempo. Just note the F->G
climb at the end is always simply those two notes, you
can't miss it in the song.

The low G's are played in whatever picking style you chose
earlier for the lead in to part 2 of the chorus.
Again, with everything going on in this song it's difficult
to pick out the bass. The above will sound just fine as it
follows the rhythm guitar for the most part. But it is
most likely not 100% correct. Feel free to add some
variation. Below is a sample.

The above is a variation where you mimic the hammer ons in the
solo that start at 03:03 and end at 03:06. They're very
distinct, so if the tab seems off just listen to the song
and you can clearly hear them.
Bass enters again at 03:21 on the word "lips."

*I like to slide into the A5 when the bass comes back in,
but that's optional.

This part plays once more and is the last that the bass
plays, so feel free to add whatever flavor you like to it,
like playing in double time.
