This is a cover of Sonia Dada's 1992 hit, 'You Don't Treat Me No Good', done by Chet Faker for an
Australian music show called 'Like a Version' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX3MYsc_A98
The riffs presented in the Sonia Dada version of the tab is
different than the one played in this cover. The key is a half step lower as well.
The guitarist in the video does a couple variations on the same riff on repeat, which is built from the
two chords played on the 6th fret. Focus on the bass strings. Strumming pattern is all downstrokes,
fast consistent tempo, but palm-muting most of the strokes, simulating the rhythm of the shaker. The notes in
the riff fit in between the muted strums.
