Recruit someone to try a song?

Sorry if this is not something that's allowed. I submitted a post in the "request a tab" section, but never got any replies. I even messaged the band on Facebook (yes, this band actually replies back :) ) but they never replied back with tabs :D. Anyway, I used the songsterr app to AI generate tabs, and I think I made some minor changes to make it more playable. However, I'm not a great player, though I will try it. I don't foresee anybody else looking for this song to play, so I was wondering if I could recruit somebody to try it out? It's on that app under Saturn The Band - Kuch Nahi. It's a really cool metal song that I think would be pretty fun to play. Videos so I can see/hear would be cool too :D If this is not allowed, please feel free to delete. This may just be wishful hoping from a veteran noobie bass girl :)

**edit to add** I think the beginning few notes got missed up by the AI based on me listening to it a few times. I believe it's good after that though. I listened to the "midi" synthesized version, and it seems to be correct I think....

Here’s the video…disturbing imagery, but quite timely…

They’re downtuned of course, but from what I made out by ear, my take is that the first few actual notes of the riff are Eb, A, Eb, Gb, E, Eb. Work on developing your ear, don’t rely on tabs, which often are wrong. Don’t rely on machines to do your thinking for you. You’ll be a better player for it. That’s all I got.

I'm still in my beginning learning stages, so I haven't even gotten to memorizing notes yet. I couldn't tell you the difference between a D or a C, much less tell you with any confidence where they are on the fretboard yet. I hope to be there one day, but that day won't be this year :D

Well, your first priority, before trying to learn any riffs/songs, is to grasp the fretboard layout, and you can do it way before December 31😁. Even if it’s just the positions of the ‘natural’ notes(not sharp or flat), you can at least get there and make any adjustments up and down.

Know your open strings, E, A, D, G. Then…
Even just fumbling around, you should start to discover certain patterns that you’ve heard before, let alone hearing intervals(the distance between two notes), which will lead you to learning scales(an entire sequence of intervals that reflects what key you’re in)or the pattern/line you’re playing under any particular chord. Think of it as being in a house or store that you’ve never been in, and you have to familiarize where every room or department is. It’s crawl before you walk stuff(no pun intended, but seriously, you should learn how to play “walking” lines eventually).
Don’t worry about wrong or right, just go on a journey of discovery, you’ll get things sorted out. You can find the positioning of just three(particular)notes, and be able, in the most basic fashion, to play a million songs. There’s a joke about that, but I ain’t gonna go there.

I know I am going about learning the completely wrong way, don't get me wrong. I've been a "noobie" for several years now, cause my main goal is just to have some fun every now and again, not to be good enough to do anything with it. I've been uploading videos of my "lunch break bass practice" to the Tik of the Tok with the same username as I use here. I'm not trying to promote myself, again, I just do this for my personal enjoyment only. If I can learn something quick and easy from tabs, that's all I need :D
