Band: Marcus Miller
Song: Power
Album: M2
So, after searching the internet for the tab, including this website, i have found
that the tabs for this is wrong. All of the tabs i have found start with a chord
using 3 strings. CORRECTION, i have searched google video, and have a video of
marcus playing the song, he does not play that chord.
I realy like this song, its like a guitarist playing bass, and thats what i like.
Some day, i want to play like him! Any who...
You may think that this song is slapped, but it is not. I was tricked, thinking
that this song is slapped also, but it is not. The famous "Wooten" technique is
what marcus uses here. Basicaly, its using your thumb as you would a guitar pick.
If you need to know how to use technique, go to the following links and watch the video...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4449818176212403705&q=wooten
this is wooten himself giving a lesson on thumbing
anyways, enough blabber, heres the tab!!
