Sabotage by The Beastie Boys

This riff is set to 80 bpm (beats per minute) and is rather difficult to play correctly. The bass line is what really drives this song and it is VERY tricky. The third and fourth measures are “elevens” and “thirteens” in case there is any confusion.

Here is what the full riff sounds like:
