** Explanation for the post-chorus - bridge transition **
The bridge starts with a fade-in, so it's hard to define what happens there.
I counted a bit, and I think I figured out a doable way of playing this.
Here you have a series of steps:
1- Think of the last note of the post-chorus as if it takes its own two pulses at the same speed as the
post-chorus (as marked in the tab).
2- Immediately after this, start counting the pulses of the first bar of the bridge at its own speed
(which is half of that of the post-chorus).
3- Start playing the bridge at the 2nd bar.
4- If you time it right, you'll be playing the bass line correctly, in time with the song.
* This way, you'll have to play the repeated part of the bridge 7 times.
If you dont like doing this, there's another way of playing that line.
Optional steps:
1- Listen carefully. The music will start fading-in around the second bar of the bridge.
2- Once you hear it, wait for it to end the first repetition of the loop.
3- When the time's right, start playing the bridge from the first bar.
* This way, you'll have to play the repeated part of the bridge 6 times.
