Riff of the Day: Wicked Garden (STP)

Since "Wicked Garden" is stuck in my head now, I'll pick a bass riff from it for Riff of the Day and try mapping it out in TAB (tablature) format. Can't do music notation on this POS computer.

Today's riff is the main verse line--the one that hooked me the day I HAD to learn the song.

Tuning: Standard

G -------------------|---------------|
D -------------------|---------------|
A ---5-4-------------|---------------|
B -------5-3-r-0-3-5-|-r-5-5-0-3-3-5-|
.....e.e.e.e...e.e.e.|...e.e.e.e.e.q
.............e.........e

G -------------------|---------------|
D -------------------|---------------|
A ---5-4-------------|-----3-3-------|
B -------5-3-r-0-3-5-|-r-5-----5-5-3-|
.....e.e.e.e...e.e.e.....e.e.e.e.e.q
.............e.........e


Notation:
r rest (any)
e eighth note/rest
q quarter note/rest
periods are there to make the note length lines line up properly.


Notes:
This is a four-bar riff played twice in a verse. It's a straightforward, simple riff, but that's really all you need if it kicks the song along the way this one does.
