So i'm learning it by ear and sight.

I feel like a mother ******* prodigy.

Anyways, what are your suggestions on the tapping sections? I invented my own fingering for the rest of the song but using the tapping parts you guys got any ideas?

Badass band. I don't really have any suggestions, but I just learned Bloodmeat on bass and it challenged me so much - I saw my skill jump a ton by the time I learned it.

Absolutely love this band, I have to see them live. I wish I had half the bass playing skill Arif has.

If you need help on multi-fingered tapping, practice one finger at a time to build up dexterity. Eventually get all fingers working together.

This will also help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Doxu960NY0

I must give you props though, you've got a better ear than me, to learn that without tabs.

I hope you're kidding.

I'm sure it's difficult, but saying it like that makes you come off very badly.

I took my 15 year old to see the band this year. I was impressed. Look forward to the next time.

Sorry, but it didn't come off that way.

Fair enough, though.

Good job though. It's not an easy tune to pull off.

I have all the way up to 1:08 (the first part you have to tap)

and can do all but the tapping there. I have the rest starting at 1:27 down though.

However, i prefer to play to this

Oh yeah, I only have a 4 string jazz so I left out a few notes.

Wait, 2:08 gets me too.

Then when he stops tapping I have it.
