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

Song

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...

this one is some guy playing, he evently plays this song

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4449818176212403705&q=wooten

this is wooten himself giving a lesson on thumbing

anyways, enough blabber, heres the tab!!
