h = hammer—on
p = pull—off
~ = let note ring
^ = bend
x = mute

Tuning: Standard

This is just a quick tab I felt like throwing up in a spot of spare time.

The song is in two segments, one being in 4/4 and the other 6/8. 
The change in time signature is obvious and easy to adapt to.

During the first part these are the only two riffs;
G|————————————————
D|————————————————
A|—4—4—4——————————
E|———————0—0h2p0—— 

The above part is played the majority of the time. 
You can hear where he changes to the below part for two bars a few times.

G|————————————————
D|————————————————
A|—2—2—2——————————
E|———————0—0h2p0—— 

The second part of the song consists of the two following riffs;
G|——————————————————————————————————————————————————
D|——————————————————————————————————————————————————
A|—7—7—7—7—7—7—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—0—0—0—0—0—0——
E|——————————————————————————————————————————————————

G|——————————————————————————————————————————————————
D|——————————————————————————————————————————————————
A|—————————————5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—0—0—0—0—0—0——
E|—0—0—0—0—0—0——————————————————————————————————————

There are parts where the bass slows down and cuts out, etc.
All of the variations are very easy to figure out just by knowing the song.

That's all!

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! 🎸
