This technique I've been trying to learn for about 6 or 7 months, I usually dont have difficulty with slap songs since its part of my playing styles and influences, but this song is just a real pain in the backside to learn, any help or even tab would be appreciated, damn Taiji's one underrated bassist.

That's when the 90s were looking back enviously at the 80s

The best I can make out of the main riff (at a very quick listen) is something like:

G----------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------4-6----
A--------------0-4-6-------------4-6---------
Eb-0-0--4-5----------0--0-0-0---------------

Probably wrong, but the vid is dodge sound quality. There's a guy on youtube doing a video of it, but again, poir sound quality means you can't quite hear whats going on......a testament to 'slap' technique in general perhaps?
Only joking!
