What I’m referring to is I think spider climbs were partly used in writing this song. Sounds like the deepening bass part is ascending up the fret and the vocal parts sound like they’re descending down the fret (getting higher in notes).Anyway. I don’t write or play music, just randomly noticed that.
Edit: Ok the main riff sounds like one spider climb at the top of the range/bottom of the fret (four fingers climbing up then the single finger beginning of the next) and then a big jump to the third fret from the top then one note on the fifth. I think. I don’t read music or chords. This is all by ear, very simplified and would be so much easier with a real bass rather than a ukulele. Tried initially on an E because that’s the string used in the exercise but it sounds better as a C?
The ‘creepy crawly’ vocal part is the second and third fret alternated. I initially tried the E string, apparently that’s a G but I feel it sounds better on E.
No idea how this matches up to a guitar
