First of all, I apologize for wrong title...
No bass 0:00 - 0:25
Verse:
G|--6-.---6/| |--9-.---9\| Just figure out how to play this.
D|4---4-4---| |7---7-7---| It's very easy.
A|----------| |----------|
E|----------| |----------|
Dots above those notes means staccato and these slides are only before You'll
go up or down the neck.
Chorus (play it octave higher if You want, I prefer to play it like below):
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------4-2-0-----------------4-2-0-----------------|

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.
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|---------3-------|
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).
