Another Long Wait For a Fun Bass Karmeleaux
This is another song where you don't play for pretty much the first minute and a half, and you're not expecting much afterwards.

What comes first isn't promising. You do a HO/PO from red to orange then a long green sustain, and it doesn't sell you on continuing to play.

But when you get to the next chorus, the rhythm moves around the fretboard at an enjoyable speed, and it throws in HO/PO and strum alterations. It also involves enjoy a scale from green to orange, which is enjoyable when it's surrounded other things going on.

You have a small break for the vocal break but it's short and musically awesome so it's fine. When it comes back in, it's largely variations on the chorus, as it approaches the end it throws in a few bass chords and scales before turning into doublestrumming for the last little bit.

It's another one of those 'what you play should be pretty enjoyable for most people, it's what you don't play that's the catch.' So again, if you've got the patience, the second half of this song is a pretty enjoyable experience on bass.
