Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Pretty standard fare for the bassist with some experience with
Gene's style. Here we find the usual diatonic outlining of chords, the 
chromatic connecting phrases and little fill. Check out the diad (making
an F5) during Rhy. Fig 3. It is a slightly unusual move for Gene but it 
has turned up before (although I can't remember where).


Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
