Silversprings bass

Silversprings

Fleetwood Mac "Silversprings"
("The Dance" Version)

h - hit

There are a thousand different ways to play this.
I actually think he tunes his strings down, and
the majority of the song is on the A string, but
this is how it's played with normal tuning.

It's pretty easy once you get the timing down.
Have fun, and toss in your own change ups.

Subtle variations here are to change the 3 to a 5
roll up to the 3rd fret on the E string or roll down
to the G and a thousand different combos. John plays
so wide, and awesome that you don't want to stay the
same twice ... most of all .. have fun.
