Here is another example of why bass is the best instrument. This song stays on a single “B” note for the first 2 and 1/2 minutes and its still fun to play. The palm muting and down picking are so important here to capture that Cliff Williams thing. I had plenty of right hand cramping like @John_E mentioned. Had to concentrate on keeping my picking hand loose and experiment with some different picking angles. Palm muting comes pretty natural to me on guitar, but I found it a little awkward on bass. Thanks for checking it out!
