Ok, so Im driving myself crazy trying to figure out what the left hand notes should be in this song. It looks easy, but its not, at least for me. All I need help with is the correct notes to go in measure 9, then I could figure out the rest using the same pattern

I've actually been trying to figure out these notes for a full day and its not working  :-\

I have no idea right now, ill take a more detailed look later.

There's a bass guitar, and an acoustic, both which serve to provide structure and fill out harmonies. I think what you should do is for each measure, the left hand plays the first note of the bass guitar, then quickly jumps back to the acoustic guitar part, all while having a regular pedaling pattern (sustain-release every measure).

Ok...I know nothing about pedaling terms. I tried to mix the parts of the bass and acoustic guitars, and Ill make it more finished up later. Mainly, what I cant figure out is the notes for measure 9. I listen to the song and hum out the individual notes, but when I see that they should be A and C# it sounds wrong when I put it with the rest of the music

If you're very sure what the notes you're looking for are, check the harmonics with the other notes. Your chords might be wrong if you know what I mean.

OK, comparing the two now, it seems like a lot of yours are just an octave lower. There are different notes going on in the background as well as some constant notes. So maybe you could just have a whole note at the beginning of each measure to match up with the whole notes in the actual song and then those eight notes need to be 1 or 2 dynamics lower, and different notes than they are now... try just listening to the entire piece, then go measure by measure or note by note and figure it out. Its just transposing the guitar part for piano.
