I think this should go in the "tab" forum.

the entire song is in 4/4. those hits the drummer does are still very much in 4/4, so don't let them throw you. as for the bass part, do what you want and make it your own. it really doesn't matter what you do, quite honestly.

thanks jimmy...

yah, was playing it different ways, and kinda have a few options to go with here.... I will do what I feel in the moment.

The hits? I am going to "fake it" and bang away....dont have time to really get the floor tom and bass drum/snare bass guitar accents matched exactly....close enough for rock and roll>?


mods, move this to the tabs area when you get a chance, my mistake...

thanks again jimmy!

Verse: D | A

Chor: B | A | D | G

Bridge: F | Bb | C | Bb
F | Bb | C | C

I play straight 8ths for the verses, IMO the song needs a steady chugging bass line at that point.

This is how I play it^^^^^ I tune my E down to a D to get a low D in the verse.

For the 1st half of the bridge part the chords probably are F Bb C Bb but do I hear the bass playing F Bb C D?

The D would be the 3rd of a Bb chord. It just doesn't sound 100% to me if I play a Bb there.
