      pretty much everyone out of their league when it comes to Primus bass playing.love the song also. the fingering for the most part is not too complex. the main verse rather simple and later same just octave down. Maybe practice the song first with less picking. hit each note only once instead of each note with a super-fast-triplet to get the musical part down. practise the triplets seperately, then try to combine

      KRISPY KREMES GUITAR CHANNEL it looks like a solid 7 to me. The notes are simple to hit, but occasionally flying up and down the fretboard and of course the fucking 32nd notes make it look like a nightmare. The 3 finger technique is needed, which looks weird, but is manageable. No matter the score, I fucking love Les
