Thank God the bassline is pretty simple...!

This thing has an interval from C to E. Specifically, it has this part
that goes
Eb G Bb Db
D G Bb D
C G Bb E
On reaching the final chord, my hand was in pain! >_< I mean, it
*sounds* amazing, but a 10th interval with a black note in the middle? Ouch.
I mean, I *can* play it, but it's not very comfortable.
