Anyway, I've made decent gains this year on alternate bass thumb stuff, I used to be ok at bouncing between the same two strings but the alternate stuff like with Am where you bounce your thumb between A, D, E, D A, D, E, D etc made me lose my place. Now though, the thumb just does it by itself for the most part. Current challenge is doing the same with barre chords higher up the neck. In the default position I'm happy to wrap my thumb over the E to avoid a barre, but I don't think that's always viable up the neck.

The solo parts and the 7add9 chords might be trickier (in the rhythm anyway, he doesn't really put anything over the chords).
