Kind of an intermediate song, good for practicing correct finger placement, finger placement for the 4th interval (usually a hard one to get), some dynamics and octaves also. Transcription wasn't hard since there's a full bass track online. I watched some live videos to get an idea of frets used, hopefully i'm right. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll answer.

Song is in F# Natural Minor with a constant use of a borrowed dominant from F# Harmonic Minor:

F# Natural Minor (Relative to A Major) (With F# C# G#)

i F#m (F# A C#)
II7 (V of IV) F#7 (F# A# C# E) Borrowed chord from B Harmonic Minor
ii° G#dim (G# B D)
III A (A C# E)
iv Bm (B D F#)
v C#m (C# E G#)
V7 C#7 (C# E# G# B) Borrowed chord from F# Harmonic Minor
VI D (D F# A)
VII E (E G# B)

GOOD MAN! BEST MUSE COVERS ON THE PLANET. I learned this track years ago, but it's nice go see it so well transcribed. It's a really interesting line, especially tone wise. Muse has a lot of those.

Yes! Thanks for this! I really love Chris' bass playing. I'd love if you could cover Micro Cuts or Time is Running Out. Both very fun bass lines, but they have some little nuances that I can't quite figure out. Thanks again for all this!
