This is where you can improvise a bit off of this line. It is just back and forth
between the two notes. I will refer to this as "Progression #2

This will take you into the chorus (at 1:30)
This will always be played twice.

Now you are back to Progression #1. Repeat the order until this, at 2:55
You will be playing the same notes, just as mostly root - octave patterns now.

G|----------7-

Repeat this until you get to the guitar solo, during which the bass plays the 
chorus. 

At the 4:00 minute mark, play this line until the end of the song.
