…making better bass players with Kris Rodgers A.K.A Dmanlamius
Ooo! I love this line! I used to have a “Blood sugar sex magik” tab book, and this was the first bass line I learnt from it. It took me ages! But the feeling of accomplishment was immense. I played that chorus riff over and over and over in the summer of ’93.
Enjoy.
A few open E’s before each chorus. Simple stuff.

Great lesson! thank you for taking the time. but wouldnt it be better for a more confortable hand position to play the chorus with the index and the little finger instead of the ring finger?

That slap move at 6:38 is awesome. Sounds just like a drum fill.
