Perhaps the most upbeat of that album. It was a little difficult for me to distinguish what the guitar and bass played at times so I hope this is correct. As I hear it the bass takes care of most of the bass (root) notes and the guitar plays higher voicings. If you want to play it by yourself you can add bass notes to the chords. Also it works better to play this song without a pick and just pluck the chords with your fingers (the solo being an exception of course). I picked out the solo too this time because I like it so much! It's a tricky one with fast playing, it takes practise to play well. Once again Geoff takes the approach of often playing different notes and/or scales over each chord in the verse (Am7, Dm7, Ebmaj7,E7#9) but you can also choose to play in the key of Am which is easier. Good luck!
