Here's the basic framework:
Play with a scratchy 16ths funk style with a lot of fret hand muting
between whole chords.

This part of the chorus (riff 3) the bass walks the G, F#, F on the A string.
You can double this with the guitar (as above) or with a F#5, F5 or play
an arpeggio anywhere on the fretboard with a m, m7, 7, 5 chord; however it
fits into your arrangement.
