its actually in Ab. Js. this is right in standard tuning.

Ehh... Yeah, what he said. Does that mean everything one fret higher? eg. 4 to a 5?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXN6AbI6BHw There's a pert in this video where the guy's playing this on bass, but I couldn't fighuire out what he was playing. Just for anyone who has any trouble. Seems to be a good tab, btw.
