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

Title : Funky Avocado - Bass Tab

Artist : Micheal Hedges

Album : Breakfast In The Fields

NOTES: I believe this is played on a five string bass by Michael Manring.

Hedges detunes his top string to a low B to match the low B on the bass

guitar. I haven?t seen this tab any where on the net, so enjoy all you

hedges fans!!!

This is tabbed to show the various phrases of the tune it?ll be

up to you to work out the timing. This tab is not perfect but all

the parts are there and I think is fairly accurate.

Legend

h = hammer-on

p = pull-off

b = bend

r = bend release

/ = slide up/down

<5> = natural harmonic

[5] = artifical harmonic

~ = vibrato

tr = trill
