"White Wedding" by Billy Idol--bassline

bass tab from Maximum Guitar magazine

Another cool 80's tune (you better know this song!!) 1 important point made in Maximum Guitar about this bassline is not letting the "seeming simplicity of this bassline fool you into approaching it too casually", so just keep the 8th notes really steady

moderately fast rock; BPM=142 at 4/4 time; use pick
