standard tuning:(E,A,D,G)
tabbed by:*freddy666*

G|———————————————————————————————————————————————|
D|———————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|—4—4—4—4—4—2——————————2—0—0—0—0—0—2————————————|
E|————————————2—2—2—2—2——————————————4—4—4—4—4———|
              ^           ^          ^ 
(Repeat as many times as needed)
play the section marked with a ^ straight after hitting the 2nd frett
on A.
bare in mind that i've only had time to tab the main section of
the song,i would imagine that the section where he says "now show em 
them t**y's" is just 0's, eg:

E|——————————————————————————0—|
A|000000000000———0000000000———|
now thats only an examle you'd have to listen to the song proparly
to get the right amount of 0's if they are actually 0's, so don't go
mouthing off if it's wrong but please feel free to tell me:

by the way when your practicing a tab from an internet site and it
seems wrong thats not always the case. when some one listens to 
one thing on CD and another listens to the same thing on a casset, 
they will sound, some times minutley but more often than not 
considderabley different. thats why some tabs seem to be wrong, 
either that or they "are" wrong and some one's just waffling.oh yeah 
the reason for the difference in sound is because of the different 
speeds each are recorded at.(Vinyle,casset,CD,something from a Pc,
mostly all sound different from each other, not always with PC
though that just depends on the source of the audio file)

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------------------|

A|---3---------------|

E|-------------------|

            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5h7---------|

            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------7p5---------|

            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5/7---------|

            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
