The Time Has Come (bass)

By Bass Levite

[Kenny: this is a great post in terms of the accuracy of the notes. However, do note the following mistakes (take it as a negative demonstration): i) the rhythm of the notes is inconsistent, ii) there is too much wrist movement (slows down your playing), and iii) hammer-ons should have been used (i've updated the tabs). Other than that, I hope you'll benefit greatly from this challenging riff!]

Note that the open strings are avoided, even though it might make some of these rifts easier to play. The reason being that it is easier to transpose up to a higher (and sometimes lower) key when using closed strings.
