i like to mix the bridge up i ve see this done with the A=5 and C=3 both added to the ending.
the problem with that is the notes are so fast that you dont groove.
so mix it up add both put one strecth etc.

Album: Their new one.
Tabbed By: Dave Cohen
Standard Tuning
This song is pretty nice, and it really grows on you. I found myself
really liking it for no apparent reason, but I figured I'd tab it out
cause it's a lot of fun to play. I didn't take much time figuring
it out so some of it may be off. Listen to the song to get the right
timming. Email me with questions/revisions/comments, etc.
Enjoy.

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:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your 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.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------| D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------| D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------| D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
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.
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! 🎸
