The tab I use to play (in G):
G |————————————————————————————————————————3 2————————————————|
D |——————————————————————2—3 5 —————————5————— 5——————————————|
A |——————————————————3 5 ——————3 3 3 3 3—3————————3 5 3———————|
E |—3 3 3 3 3 5 6————————————————————————————————————— 6 3———|
If G is too much for you or you are a new bass player, may you should to do this tab in E:
G |———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
D |————————————————————————0—2——————————2——5—4—2——————————————|
A |——————————————————0—2—4 ————0—0—0—0—0—0———————0—2—0————————|
E |—0—0—0——0—0—2—3———————————————————————— 5————————————3—0———|
In both case, you'd better to have a methronome...
Please rate it!
Thanks and cheers!

The Sugarhill Gang is an American hip hop group, known mostly for their 1979 hit, "Rapper's Delight", the first hip hop single to become a Top 40 hit. The song uses the instrumental track from the classic hit "Good Times" by Chic as its foundation.
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! 🎸
