The best way I find to get these bass notes in is to form the E chord and

use your pinky to finger the low notes.

That is the first solo if anyone is particularly fond of the out solo

then e-mail me. Stevie songs are harder to transcribe than i thought

since they are mostly solos.

Any how hope this helps you out.
