Don't think so. In the beginning of the song there isn't.

[goalieman92]

can i get another opinion on this?

[LoneStarDrummer]

in the first 18 seconds, goalieman is more accurate, than it seems to change to the way sync tabbed it.

it could just be the vocals and guitar that's making it hard to hear, but it does seem to change after the 18 second mark and then the extra bass comes in at various other times.


edit: that's a good song. i love tom petty and heartbreakers. you can't forget about the heartbreakers.

[lmldrummer]

if your using itunes bring up the equilizer and put everything but the 2 on the far left down, put those 2 all the way up, i would but don't have it on itunes and don't know where the cd is

[goalieman92]
