WASTED YEARS - Difficulty- 6/10
--------------
Fairly easy song on the bass. It also has a pretty simple structure. Gets tricky 
around the solo but it the rhythm on the bass is almost always quavers (8th notes).

If I give you the lines I trust you'll be able to work out the arrangement (i.e. when 
different parts return etc) :)

~ = slide or hammer on/off
# = mute/damp (achieved by pressing the fret half-down or putting another finger slightly on
the next fret)
|(notes)| = tuplet
! = accented (play harder on that note)
{}= harmonics
* = staccato (play the note shorter)
" = tenuto (play the note to its full length)

I hope that's enough to get you through the song. The parts I left I assumed were easy 
enough for you to work them out. However if there's something important I've missed please tell me!
