Bass tab

 

transcribed by Russ Hermans russ_hermans@hotmail.com

 

timing: 2/4

key: A minor

 

part 1

(Vary between these parts, you can switch up the hammer

ons and single notes anywhere, just maintain an A octave

then A root, followed by a D single note or hammer or an

E single note or hammer, then A root again.  You can also

do slides instead of hammers.)

part 3

(if you don't know slap technique... good luck.  it's pretty

tough to figure out exactly what mike is doing, i did my best,

but this is just a guide.  The * line is technique, what to

slap and pop. x=muted note /=slide h=hammer p=pull off)

comes back in with...

E-3-5-5-5-|

and then follows the verse pattern until that pause. it stops on a low D.

B-3-|

Then goes back to verse riff again till the fade out.

 

That's the most accurate tab of the song I've ever seen if I do say so

myself.  Have fun with it.  Keep a nice funky groove.
