Transcription By:Simon Merrick
Hi,
Another Incognito tab, this time the track "Smiling Faces"
from the album "Positivity". This is a great track and a really
nice bass line. R H Taylor plays it with a lot of feeling. He
also plays a lot of fills which, I will only tab a few of (the
best one's).
Listen to the record for the timing, changes (structure), and
ad-libs. It may take a while to get the over all feel of the
song but once you get into the groove it'll be fun.
First off is a nice piano solo before the bass comes in like so!

it gets really funky!

That's it. But do try to add in your own ad-libs to suite
your own style of playing.
