Hi David

Sorry if this question has been asked before.  I'm trying to get the timing right for Temperature.  On your recording of Temperature, in Chorus 6, 2nd measure, if you slow the track right down it sounds like there is an extra note in there.  Is it a slap or something else? I can't get it to sound right playing the notes in the Tab. Thanks.

Andy

I listened to it for you and what I play is what's tabbed. If you want to send me a recording of you playing the first three bars I'll be happy to help you get it dialed in.
