Hard Times Bass

I listened to the official video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEB6ibtdPZc) on 50 percent speed to figure out this tab. Some of the fills are strange/hard to hear, so either give it your best shot, or just ignore them. It should sound good either way.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate
Capo:	no capo

The fill right before the chorus is extremely close just 1 wrong note and a little timing issue: G|----------------| D|----------------| A|--------3-------| E|-4--6--6--6-4-3-| Very good tab, though.
