A tasty bass nugget from early Tull. Glen Cornick played bass on some of Tull's best albums and I've always been inspired and awed by his talent and creativity.

Cornick's bass comes through clearly making this song relatively easy to learn. I suspect he played this song with a pick, and there is a certain amount of sustaining when playing 4th's and 5th's. That is to say, it sounds better to play this song somewhat loosely and not too tight. I chose my finger positions based on my sound preferences. For this song, playing high up sounded better than using the G string, and I like to set up for better sliding nuances. Fun song. Worth learning at any skill level. Enjoy
