(that last slide doesn't really go to any note, just slide down to the first fret and
then mute the string I guess)
**(the open G#'s are pretty quick so if you can't play all 4 of them you can get away with
just playing 3, but it sounds much cooler if you play all 4 along with the guitar)
***This riff is ripped off from Seek & Destroy by Metallica so I'll just tab it how I play
that :)
****(same as verse, but everything is moved one string higher)
Listen to the song for timings and how many times you play each riff etc..
Any questions or ideas for improvement? Post a comment!

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
