most of MUSE song we have play,hysteria,time is running out,new born and etc .. and im really good with most of the muse song ,especially which used bass a lot
and now , i want to improve my skill and technique ,

Fill out your profile. We do not know what level you are either, so do not know where to start.

Songs to learn. Ones you like. Ask Google to find tab or fake chord on those songs. Good luck finding bass tabs.

Perhaps others can guide you to some tabs. Check out the tab section of this forum.

Good luck.

TB has it's fair share of foreign members whose native language isn't English, for all you know this is the best the guy can do.

This. He did better than I probably would have, in any language other than English.

To the OP...How long have you been playing bass, and do you play any other instruments? Try playing songs that you like that are slightly challenging for you. Try one new one each week if you can.

IMO if you can play Time is Running Out and Hysteria by Muse without issue, you don't need advice on beginners songs.

Either that, or I really suck, should donate my gear to the TB collective, and start playing guitar full time.

TiRO shouldn't be a problem to a beginner, but Hysteria is rather a challenge. I used a lot of time learning it the way Chris plays it.

Damn straight, I been playing a while and I can't keep up with hysteria. That's a tough song alright.
