Do you mean the rest when it goes up to the higher strings in the main groove at 0:41? That’s actually correct, the course tabs are wrong.
You can hear it here at this timecode.
Not a fan of this song but this is how I play it too

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie. I loved this song when I was a young lad, even though I thought it was literally about a spaceman who had never dome good things or bad things - something I guess I could relate to at the time. It was only with the passage of time and my gradual maturation that I realised it was probably about something more…
This was a tough one to record, partly because I had to teach myself slapping, but also I had to learn how to use a compressor - the slap parts in the chorus are way louder than the fingerstyle parts in the verse. The Rock Slap setting on the Zoom was really helpful as well, although the pops are still a bit dull - I blame old strings and my reluctance to mash up my fretboard .
I think the original was on a Stingray, so I tried to use the bridge pickup on the T-bird to kind of mimic it. I was not going to slap on the Rickenbacker.
Still, the final version is passable I reckon, although I really poxed up the video recording just before the second chorus 
.
So… ashes to ashes!

Been a while since I recorded a cover. This time around, decided to have a re-attempt at the first song I attempted recording (more details on that in the 50 covers song specific thread here). I think this is the first cover that I did not strictly use Josh’s tabs as a basis. For this song, it came from a mash-up of the first way I learned the song from a YouTube video, tabs found on UG, Josh’s tabs and my own ear.
Recorded with Darkglass Harmonic Booster, Darkglass Microtubes Infinity and Zoom B1 Four (for the ZNR noise-gate) into my NUX MPP-3 for IR, AMP and audio interface.

@Ed Ed Ed!!!
Loved this!!!
Love the tone and you getting your slap on.
You looked so relaxed and played it seamlessly.
I think the tones you are looking for in your slap pops can be had just a couple inches up with your thumb and finger just at the end of the fretboard. You won’t hurt your frets. I think it sounded great anyway. Wowsa!
