The bass is the absolute core of this song in my opinion. Yes the riff is iconic! Yes the drums are explosive! But the bass holds the emotional core of the song, the feeling of giving up yet still continuing on anyway... the feeling of knowing how terrible everything is yet still pushing yourself to keep going, be it a break-up, a loss, or a financial disaster. To me all of that is held in those few low notes looping throughout this song, and it would be completely different without it.

I knew this song was fast, but it just feels so much faster when you’re playing 😅

Love the layout of the chorus, it’s real fun having that slide from 4 to 9 :)

Great work and accurate tabs. Hard to find tabs like these. You earned my sub. Especially for such a small channel like this one.

i’ve been playing bass for a year and i can’t believe i JUST found this, playing this made me shake, this song will always be part of my heartbeat

great video, great mix to hear the bass and the context of the song. appreciate both tabs and notes as well. well done!

U are doing an excellent job, keep going dude, I know someday your channel will have all the viewers and subscribers u deserve. Kisses from Spain ❤️.

me at the beginning: oh okay seems easy enough me, who proposed the song to the band at the pre chorus: *chuckles* im in danger

These covers are awesome!!! Keep up the great work!

love bass tab vids man MUCH LOVE BRO I LOVE THE KILLERS

This guys videos are top notch. Got me of my as and practicing again

This video rocks! Clear visuals made it easy to follow along.

Your channel is amazing! First day playing bass and learn this song! 🤩 Thank you

I feel like this really needs to be picked. I think the original was picked, as was popular for bass in this era in this alt rock pop songs. It doesn’t sound forceful enough. In the original he’s really pounding away at that bass, you can hear it.

Great work man! Thank you for this. Big help to learn. New sub

Wow, thank you wow. Wonderful performance. Thank you for including notation, and not just tab. Very cool

this song just brings me joy and to learn it fills me with joy. ps my music teacher loves your intro

Great job, got to learn this for a gig in a couple of weeks, this has been really useful, thanks for sharing

Honestly this was never my preferred style but I appreciate the talent involved . Going to learn this song thanks to this channel. Well learn the bassline that is . Very well executed btw .

So fun to play! Thanks for the cover

Brilliant as usual

This is amazing. Learning this one next!

this was the first song i learned on the bass! thank you ♥

this is so helpful. other videos are so annoying as when a part ends it goes straight to the next note. this video moves regularly so i know which note is next. thx a lot

great add to your music......i really enjoy the work you do and i am learning from you as well. thanks and great job. hope to get more stuff from you soon...

Thankyou Thankyou from Australia 💕

Nice work! Thank you

Great tab, thank you!! Excellent 8th note practice song

Thanks for the great vid, helped me learn this super fast

Great job, thanks!

Finally a good video for this song this really helped me out, keep up the good work.

So helpful, thanks

Damn this is a fun song to play

thanks a lot man, good stuff

great video and tabs ty

i love this tab thanks

Thanks, nice and clean good work.

Smooth playing nice one

Thanks.. Save me a lot of time. Good positioning/transcription

I don't know why many other tabs for this all tune the bass up, this is clearly the correct way

Hi buddy , thank you so much for these vids 43 yr old male played 6 string guitar all my life only been playing bass for 2 weeks and I love it should of started sooner. These vids are a god send. Any chance of you doing nobody does it better Carly Simon. Looking forward to more vids. All the best.

great cover. Love how simple and easy to navigate ur site is too.

Great job

Great collection of songs! Just subscribed... Will be requesting a song someday. Keep it up and Thank you.

Thank you!

I like how your videos have music and tab though cause im trying to get better at site reading so thank man

Thank you Harry.

Very good for intermediate,, or early intermediate. And of course this is beast of a song!

My girlfriend asked me to play this for her. I was more than happy to oblige, thinking it would be a piece of cake.... I was cocky... This is now officially the first song I've learnt with chords (I always avoided them heh), and bends too!!! String bending? More like mind bending.. Thank you for such a great tab! You've helped me overcome a fear, learn a new technique, and make her happy! Subbed!😁

Loved this band growing up. Prefer metal music mostly but this is just on of those bands you can't help but like

Awesome! Subscribed to you on patreon

Thanks. I'm working on a piano cover but this really helps.

Parabéns pelo canal, mais um inscrito! Continue por favor! Obrigado aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷!

Thank u!

Great

I love the bamm-bam- ba- baaaaa part.

Awesome video! It would be reallly helpful to newbs like me if the text of the numbers tabs were larger. Its quite hard to differentiate a 9 and an 8 and other similar looking numbers. Thanks again!

the best

Great cover/lesson as always Harry! Really appreciate these videos. BTW do you have any instructional videos on how you include the score and tabs. I would like to record what I learn and then be able to tab/score it out to see how it compares. But also for efficiency (replaying instead of relearning down the road) Thanks in advance!

Thanks for placing the tab at the top of the screen. Much easier to pause it.

This songs is so similar to me I get chills 😭

Really great job. Thank you for sharing.

How could bass to be able playing much emotional part of this song!

i didnt know this band i loved

You made me see that both of my favorite musics aren't that impossible to play.

Dude i love your videos keep going non terrae plus ultra

Please re do the chain, best version out there

play it on at least 1.5x speed to assert dominance

bueno

Im assuming youre playing in standard tuning?

I’m not a pick player, but I had to grab one for this song.

nice job! when playing the 2nd fret on the E string, the tab shows a "1/4" in between some of the eight notes... what does that mean?

Is there a guitar and drum part that goes with this bass cover? Me and some buddies would like to use this bass cover for a talent show.

3rd repeat of each chorus goes to the low F#.

This is standard tuning version?

Is the tuning eadg?

Bass really is the main dish 😌😌 imagine how boring the song would be without basses hahahahhah

without fail i will fuck it up and the same place everytime

Thanks for the video! Is your bass in standard tuning or tuned down a half-step?

Harry is the goat

Hey, what's the 1/4 arrow part on the pre chorus?

1:38. Great tab!

Awesome cover dude Side note: Anybody else confused as to why this is grade 5?

oh my god i think my arm just died

Needs a pick for the ⬆ ⬇

Guitar players trying to play mr brightside vs bass players

I badly want to play this, but after only 7 weeks of playing bass, I can't chug those 8th notes at that tempo for 3 minutes. My fingers just wear out. Perhaps at 12 weeks...

eadg?

If you frequently play with your "bass", do it the James Hetfield way and play the whole song in downpick XD You'll be ripped in no time, trust me lmao

pretty sure this song is in E flat.

As a beginner consider my fingers tired af 😫

2:31 tabs are different to what you're playing

First part is wrong. You played it an octave lower tban you were supposed to.

what the tuning

Imagine playing Killers with a pick lol

I’m new at bass. my fingers hurt LOL

What odds the guy that wrote this only knows two strings on bass ?

only problem is this song goes too hard to focus on playing

Not terrible. Go listen to the isolated bass track kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrechpxh1Kqbcn0.html you'll hear what you're missing. Also...Mark Stoermer uses a pick with heavy down strokes to get the tone and attack.

Nice job. But the bridge part ain’t correct though..
