This is machine gun by sum 41 from the  album half hour of power you probably know that but 
this is is right believe me the other one is wrong it doesnt have the chorus 
and everything is basically wrong so here it is:
     INTRO:
G)—————————————————————————————————————|
D)—————————————————————————————————————|
A)——————————————————444————————————————| 
E)——444——222——111——————————————————————|  X 3 then hit 4 on E like 8 or somethin times

               VERSE:
G)—————————————————————————————————————————|
D)—————————————————————————————————————————|
A)——————————————————————44444444———————————|   X 4 
E)——44444444——22222222————————————44444444—|

                CHORUS:
G)—————————————————————————————————————|
D)—————————————————————————————————————|
A)—44444444————————————————————————————|   X 2 
E)———————————22222222——4444444444444—3—|

 Then INTRO x2 
 Then VERSE x2
 Then CHORUS x2 then:

G)———————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
D)———————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
A)———4444444444444444——6666666666666666——————————————————| 
E)———————————————————————————————————————4444444444444444|

         THEN:
G)———————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
D)———————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
A)—4444444444444444——6666666666666666——44444444——————————| 
E)———————————————————————————————————————————————44444444| 

 Then play the INTRO X4 again then:

              SOLO:
G)—————————————————————————————————————|
D)—————————————————————————————————————|
A)——————————44444444———————————————————|  X 10
E)—444——2——————————————————————————————|

 then pause for a while then:

G)—————————————————————————————————————|
D)—————————————————————————————————————|
A)—————————————————————————————————————| X6
E)—2—4—2—0—2—4—2—1—————————————————————|

 Then just play the intro untill the end sorry its 11 @ night so i didnt count how many times 
not that many though then play 4 on A during the drum roll thing a lot and thats all 

                                                            Joe sKonie

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! 🎸
