This is the tab for the full 9-minute masterpiece - I think there's a 4-minute single
around somewhere but I doubt that affects the tab.
Ok, so this has pretty much the same bassline throughout.
He might start throwing in a few extra notes towards the end, but (if they actually
they don't change the groove or anything.
Main part: (after two beat drum intro)
G|------------11-|---9-----------|---------------|--------------:|
D|---------------|-------9-------|---7--9------9-|---7----------:|
A|-9----7--------|---------7-----|-7-------------|------9-5-----:|
E|---------------|---------------|---------------|--------------:|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/curtis_mayfield/move_on_up_btab.html ]
When played on its own (i.e. not playing along to the record), the last note sounds like
should be a 'B'.
But, it sounds to me (especially in the bit directly after the drum solo) that he
hits a 'D'.
Then again, there are also times in the song when it sounds like a 'B'.
But to be honest, it doesn't make much difference. Do whatever sounds best.
Ok, so he plays that until 3.42, when the last two bars become:
G|---------------|------------------|
D|---7--9------9-|------------------|
A|-7-------------|-9--------2---2---|
E|---------------|------------------|
Then there's the interlude bit:
G|------------|
D|-5----------|
A|-----5------|
E|------------| x2
Drum/percussion solo from 3.58 - 4.26
Then it's back to the main riff until the fade-out
Feel free to ad lib. a bit towards the end/ add some fills
Any comments/corrections really welcome
Great bassline. Great song
