Congrats on the new column in Bassics. I recently got my issue in the mail. Nice work on the video. Being able to see you play is a huge plus!
Some of the chord voicings are new to me. I am having some difficulty playing the arrangement because of my instrument. My P-Bass doesn't allow me to get to the 19th and 20th fret for chordal playing. The cutaway is too shallow (or maybe my hand is just too massive).
I tried tuning my bass up a whole step (double bass solo tuning). This helps; however, it changes the playability of the instrument greatly (mainly action and string tension). Also, I have to think of everything that is written down a whole-step.
Another option I tried was to leave the strings in normal tuning, but transpose the arrangement down a step. This work okay; however, the A7 in bar 4 (G7 transposed down a whole-step) becomes a little muddy on my bass.
Mike, do you have any spare MTD's laying around? 
Joe
