Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out
-------------------------------


Tuning: Standard

I tried to make notes of where all the changes and differences are,
I think I've about covered everything, remember to listen for timings etc.

(1) A slide down, used for the intro and when a chorus comes in
(2) Main bass line used
(3) Used to join the bass line when it repeats (not used with first intro)
(4) At the end of a chorus skip (3) and end on (4)

(5) A small pre-verse riff (not used with first verse)
(6) Extra notes used at the start of the first verse only

                     (9)

(9) This leads onto the chorus

Repeat main bass line throughout guitar solo
After the guitar solo and singing the bass plays (9)
Then back to the main bass line though to fade out
