That’s how I play the freakin awesome bass riff by Chris Squire​ on YES “Roundabout” (video includes the tabs). Originally played with pick and Rickenbacker basses​, I played it with fingers and Cataldo Basses​ ARMAX52 (neck pickup). It’s not just a superb riff, but it is also very useful to improve your technique! I suggest to start playing it really sloooooooooow :) Backing tracks by Jammit | Alberto Rigoni Music
