You're missing some crucial hits that makes this song really groove. Nice attempt nonetheless.

In the verse the turn around is G#, A, B, C...try that

Hope that helps.

This is one of my favorite records, if not favorite of 2009. I saw Nick was playing through Fender Bassman 100 and I purchased one. Cool tone

Hi, thanks for the feedback. From what I can hear, that riff is played by the guitar. Rock on....

Also, When playing the main riff. Try sliding to the notes like open A then slide up to the E then back to the open A the slide to Eb etc. You can hear it. Also the chorus that starts on F is a tad bit off in a spot but its an awesome cover besides those little hiccups but nothing that takes away from the overall experience. Great bass cover for my favorite band.
