NUMBER SIX (Bassline)
                              As recorded by Karate
                          (From the 2000 Album UNSOLVED)

This nice and slow bluesy number has a walking bassline
that keeps things interesting without overdoing it. The
next to last measure is marked tremelo picking (TP), but
is actually just a long measure of ending buildup where
everyone one just jams on the A until it dies down.
