Hey, this is my first attempt at tabbing. I'v not figured out the second half of the
song yet so here's how I think it's played at the beginning.

The first intro can be played with slapping or finger, when I saw it live I was
surprised to see him slap this bit, but either sounds good.

I also don't really know how to explain the technique very well, so have a read
through it and try make sense of what im saying.

F:————————————————|————————————————|
C:————————————————|————————————————|
G:————————————————|————————————————|
D:————————————————|————————————————|
A:333——333——333—9/|333——333——333—9/|

G:———555———555————555———555————————|x2
D:—————————————————————————————————|
A:333———333———333————333————9/—————|

Now this slapping takes a little practise. You have to do a fast alternate slap
between your thumb and pinky, it's just impossible to slap that fast with your thumb
alone, and I saw fieldy live alternate slap this part.

Don't hold on each note, on your
fretting hand release to mute the note to make it not last as long.

* = Less than half a second alternate slap

TS= Thumb slap
PS =Pinky slap, ( little finger)

The notes you need to spam for the next bit are

A: 3———3—333—333

and

A:1———1—111—111

The it repeats to "Well look at this...."

When I'v got the time ill try tab out the rest. I hope I was of some help.

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! 🎸
