Gigged that a few times last year, with the bass breakdown in the middle from the original , great song to play

If someone's resurrected this thread I'll just slip this one in as I forgot originally - about 20s in on this, simple but effective :

There are some nice ocatves in 'Paranoid' that I am struggling to get up to speed. The band I've just joined does a cover of this so I'm gonna have to get my finger out. Literally!!
(Did I mention I was in a band? I think I may have alluded to it in passing, lol :lol: )

You can cheat in that part by using your thumb for the root and a finger for the octave, give it a try :)

I must investigate, I was unaware there were other notes apart from the 'root' one could play.

You'll be fine, both root and octave are the root. So the if we take the root of the octave, and divide that by two - play that twice, we are back at the octave. Which is also the root. Maybe I should teach bass... ;)

If cetera was still around I wouldn't need to post this one. Heard it on Planet Rock this morning, which reminded me...
