Song

Artist: Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five

Track: The Adventures Of Flash On The Wheels Of Steel

This is a classic funky bass-line.

There are two ways of playing this track:

G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--0-0-0--0-0-0-2-3-5-7-9-10-12--|
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|--0-0-0--0-0-0-9-(0)-10-(0)-9-7-5-4-5--|

OR

A|-------------------0-2-4------|
E|--0-0-0--0-0-0-2-3------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|---------------4-5-4-2-0---0--|
A|--0-0-0--0-0-0-----------4----|
E|------------------------------|

0:57

G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|

This is all the bass that is not manipulated by Flash's decks.

If you want to see the funky disco splurge (4:07) arranged for guitar
