My band is adding "Don't Speak" by No Doubt to the playlist. I have the chords, but just can't work out what he is playing. The bass is way down in the mix with a really muddy tone, it hurts to have to listen that closely to work it out.

Anyone have a transcription they could let me have? Tab or standard notation would be okay, I can read both.
 
Thank you. That's really helpful. Loads of new numbers have been added to the set and this really takes a lot of stress off me.
 
That's a fun tune. As I recall, you land on low F a lot. Kind of a cramper sometimes, but fun.

You could try this one.

I got it off www.mysongbook.com and opened it with Guitar Pro and exported to pdf. Other users rated it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars for accuracy. I haven't verified it.

That is great, thanks mate, I owe you one. I actually prefer to read standard notation as opposed to tab. Tab seems quite clumsy, but I'll use it if nothing else is available.
