Guitar and Drums part:
(Guitar: [F#m C#]8x without vocals.)
On the 6th time during the Guitar and Drums part, the bass
does this. This part is played really fast and only lasts
one second. You can either fret the notes against the
fretboard loud enough that you don't have to pick them to
hear them, or you can fret the notes only when you're picking
them..either way there is no sustain.

LAST VERSE
Then it's played 2x with the vocals
and finally the bass fully re-enters. (The Guitar and Drums
part overlaps the first part of the Last Verse.)
