guitar: mellow overdriven fender twin reverb like smoothness,
but lay into it when the chorus hits
bass: semi-deep synth feel always pushing in the background
The bass is extremely important (Bass tab coming soon)
Verse 1+3 is a single note guitar interpretation of the bass part.
You can sing Verse 1+3 with the beginning riff or the notes above the lyrics:
