The first pull-offs are wrong and so is the pre-chorus. Im not sure about the solo yet as I havnt played it with the song. The pull offs start on the a string 2nd fret and the pre-chorus starts on the note of a and then on the e goes 8-7-1-111-1-873-5-555-55871-111-12121097. This is correct unless you play it wrong!
the solo is fine
and his pre-chorus is almost perfect also
i have a red hot chili peppers book with the bass tabs so bondman is wrong
for the solo though i would switch that 18 on the D string to a 13 on the G string cause its just easier to get too and instead of playing 10 on the E i would just hit 0 on the D string its also just easier to play and u dont have to stretch ur fingers that much
other than that its a pretty good tab
i dont know how do you do to hear the f ucking solo
