[quote name='wulf' post='213314' date='Jun 5 2008, 04:18 PM']As far as I can recall from last time I went searching for bass tabs, the time spent digging something out, trying to play it, checking with the recording and discovering that it had more holes than a Swiss cheese, was generally better spent just sitting down and trying to learn the song. Sometimes a tab will help but you still have to learn to play the piece in a way that fits with what everyone else has come up with.
The other lesson I learned was not to get obsessed about the details, certainly not until you have the outline of the song. Get the general structure and the easy bits first. If you get stuck trying to hear something, is there a similar part elsewhere in the song where the bassline is clearer? If you can get most of the song down quickly, you then have time left for the fiddly bits.
