Tabbed by: Brenton Chattin

Tuning: Standard


Another great song from "I'm with You", I've worked out most of it, fun song to play.
Practice that vibrato to really get it sounding good. Also really dig into the G string 
while muting the other strings to get the funk sound
The song is really technical rhythmically, so I haven't included the form too much but 
these are the parts you need to play along.


Verses: 0:20 With slight improv, repeat as required

That's it, the form might be messed up a bit but all the parts are there. Hopefully it's 
more than enough to play with the track
Learn the bassline too, throw it on loop, and it's easier to practice improvising in the solo.

Thanks
