Drop guitar volumes to get semi-lean tone for the final part of the change.
Chords are probably a little off, but it still sounds good. The key to this part is that
open G and Gb dissonance in the pedal tone. The Bass is carrying the E-C-G-D melody
line. Let em. Most bass players don't work hard enough anyway. They just wanna look cool.
