Idlewild - Love Steals Us From Loneiness. Bass tab. Standard tuning, nothing special. Quite an easy and fun song to play along to! Love the verse riff. I tabbed this completely by ear since there was no bass tab for this song at the time of posting this. Took me a few hours to get the main parts down but struggled a bit with the intro, so that took me a few more days to wrap my head around what was being played in amongst all the distortion! I'm pretty sure it's correct, maybe a few pull-off's at most. I recommend you actually DON'T learn from this tab. Go put the song on repeat and just learn it bit by bit by ear. Intro, verse, then chorus. It will obviously take longer to learn but it's much more rewarding (and beneficial to your musical ear) than reading off a sheet posted on the internet. It's a good feeling, go try it.

Good tab, and I agree. It does help you as a player to learn by ear, and I find that you learn the song more thoroughly as you have to dicect each part and repeat over and over. But sometimes it's faster to us UG, and too tempting when a perfectly good tab is right here lol.
