(5) - hold note SD - slide down SU - slide up
SMB's bassist Lonnie Turner plays some incredible runs and fills throughout this song,
especially in the chorus. I've tried to get down the basic tablature for the song,
transcribing by ear, however I'm sure it is far from the original note for note.
I have included the chords above the tablature so that you can try to figure out what
Lonnie was doing, or otherwise make up your own improvisations. Have fun with it!
