started screwing around with this before just getting going any help? it seems like the basic rhythm but Dan overdubs so there's at least two guitars going in the track. the little hammer on part sounds pretty right to me and then the bass line is in the general groove of it.

only tabbing top 3 strings cause that's all I'm using and am lazy

D|--------------2h4-| |------------2h4-|
A|-------------2-h4-| |-----------2-h4-|
E|--0-0-0-0-0-0-----|x2 |2-2-2-2-2-2-----|x2

just repeating that with the bass going at the right beat obviously.

the hammer ons are staggered like that cause I'm playing both strings before the hammer on both strings at the same time. little bit of palm muting on the bass also gives it the staccato punchy bass rhythm.

there's obviously a little bit more going on under Dans main singing part, it seems to drop the hammer on part and go to simple strumming the rhythm and then back into the hammer bit.

so thats my start any help?

Shoot first. Ask questions later.

I've sussed out that the main bass line and drivin riff is on an organ real simple one finger stuff most of the time with the guitar just hopping along behind it and then throwing in the little hammer on part. So with a fuzz pedal you should be able to get the organ drive on the bass line and them the bite on the hammer on part. It's got a 12 bar blues feel to it as well that sort of 4/4 beat happening

Yeh i think i worked it out,

verse: E, C#m

Middle Eighth: F#m E x 3/ F#m A B

The variations in the verse that dan is playing after the end of every chord, is a little run where he plays the octave above the root, then the fourth then the root. it also sounds alright if you play the third, then the octave above the root, then the fourth.
