There's a good reason why this is called "Funk" 49 !
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
h = hammer on
p = pull off
\ = slide (high to low)
^ = bend (listen for pitch and release charateristics)
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
Note: I only accurately tabbed the first Pre-Verse, Verse and Chorus.
The subsequent Pre-Verse, Verse and Chorus parts in the song are
played with some variation.
