What did he say?

Victor Wooten

tabbed by Phil (runechild@aol.com)

Ok, here's the deal, Vic recorded the album 'what did he say?' by himself

for the most part (with guest musicians for drums and what not) and if

you will notice, there's more than one bass in there, but he's the only

person playing the bass in all the songs. he recorded several tracks

over each other, but it's still just him, thus, not all the song is here,

but this is the main part; you can play this and it will still sound good.

The verse parts are not 100% accurate, but those are the notes he uses,

if you improvise, it sounds just as good and hey, it's almost like jamming

with Victor :) Note: the slaps and pops: you can slap/pop them or just

pluck with your fingers, it's up to you.

For the most part, this is accurate.

+ = slap

- = pop

/ = upslide

\ = downslide

^ = bend

h = hammer-on

p = pull off (?: reverse hammer-on)

x = muted note

For the rest of the song, just improvise along the same notes that

have been used for most of the song, it still sounds good and it

really is like jamming with one of the greats :)
