The Gift Bass

(ver. 1)
Velvet Underground
Standard Tuning
The song is a repeated bass line. There is some improvisation on how the order is done; 
are two small 'bass solos' that also happen. Sometimes he holds notes longer, sometimes 
strums once/twice/three times. Once you get it down it's fun to tinker with it.
