This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

"If I Like It, I Do It" - Jamiroquai Bass Tab

Transcribed by Jimmy C email= jimmy_c15@hotmail.com

In this great song Stu uses heaps of fifths and octaves, and when listening it sounds complex

but it's really quite simple once you "get in the groove". As you all know Mr Zender improvises HEAPS

so I've transcribed the basic line and left it up to you to put in the fills!

Basic tab conventions

h= hammer on p= pull off

*= dead note
