Billy's piano style is unusual, and his left hand leaves a lot of work for the bassist to do by very often not providing the root note(s) for what is being played. Consult my Guitar Pro tab to hear what I mean. ================================================================================ Part 1: [ 00:00 - 00:34 ] ================================================================================ G||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| D||--------------------|--------------------|--2--------0--------| A||-----------5--------|--0--------3--------|--------------------| E||--3-----------------|--------------------|--------------------| |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| |--0--------3--------|--------------------|--5--------0--------| |--------------------|--3--------0--------|--------------------| |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|| |-----------2--------|--------------------|--------------------|| |--3-----------------|--0--------5--------|--0--------5--------|| |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|| ================================================================================ Part 2: [ Time 00:34 - 01:21 ] ================================================================================ Blank page was all the rage never meant to say any- ||---------------------|----------------------|----------------------| ||---------------------|----------------------|----------------------| ||-----------5------5--|--0--------3----- / |--7----- \ 5--------| ||--3------------------|----------------------|----------------------| thing.
