I. Performance Notes

On this track from the O(+>Interactive CD-ROM, O(+> or Sonny T is

playing a five string bass. However, I have no such instrument, and therefore

have simulated a five string bass by tuning the low E string of my four string

bass to D.

A live version of this track from the KTS bootleg "Welcome 2 The

Beautiful Experience," features very similar playing. The only difference is

a slightly more aggressive tone, achieved by using the slap and pop technique,

on the chorus section of the song.

At the start of the song, Rhythm Figure 1 is played by the guitar two

times before the bass enters. The bass enters at 00:23, playing Rhythm Figure

1. The guitar solo section is carried by the bass. This progression looks

like this:

1. INTRO section

2. VERSE section (w/o the

last measure)

3. VERSE section (w/o the

last measure)

The Outro, instead of being another rhythm figure, is simply two notes that

signal the end of the song.
