[@akastonefaceddog]

Pretty much the entire song, it just rips from start to finish. Fantastic lesson, many thanks for this 👍👍

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

[@akastonefaceddog]

@@BeholdenToTheRiff If I was pushed I'd say the first riff is the best but this is such an iconic cool groove it's hard to say. It really is a great album from start to finish. My wife and I have cool memories of this track while driving through France so I'm going to practice this one cos my version is nowhere near. Keep up the cool work, we really appreciate it 👍

This is great man, thanks for all your lessons. Only just found your channel recently, currently learning this song. So hard to find good bass tabs for these stoner / doom bands, your channel is exactly what I've been looking for since picking up bass two years ago. Keep it up bro

[@Godmesser]

​@@BeholdenToTheRiff No doubt: the "iconic #1" and "chorus #2"! But other riffs are spice of life, you can't have "Gardenia" be "Gardenia" without them :) Video is great as always, so easy to understand and follow *thumbs up*. To be honest, when I try to learn smth just by tabs, I usually have problems with left hand positions, but following slow step-by-step video guide makes it sooo clear. \m/

Been looking for solid tabs for this song for a bit. Awesome birthday gift haha. Every song on this album needs a lesson dedicated to it. Id love to put it a request for "Blind For All To See" by Shrinebuilder and "Bhima's Theme" by Om.

I find that once I tune down a whole step (D Standard) that Slinkys don’t quite cut it :) From there I go to Power Slinkys and they are great🤘Some folks prefer fatter strings, but those extra thick strings tear up my fingers :)
