Jamiroquai
Virtual Insanity
****************

Tabbed By Eric Siljander < M_Siljander@bc.sympatico.ca >

Hey funky bass players, here are some things you need to know to play
the song right...

The Chorus- You need to know how to slap and pop if it is gonna sound
            right. However this causes there to be dead notes in among
            the clear ones. I won't tab these because it would make it
            way too complicated for you and too hard for myself! The
            rhythm is alittle jumpy and may be hard to get into at
            first, but once you get in the groove, its easy.
The Verses- This section is played with plucking. Try to get some snap
            on all the D-string notes. Stu does whenever I've seen him
            live, and it sounds good!
The Break-  As Stu often does, he ad-libs everywhere. So to make it
            easier on myself, I'll tab the basic pattern and leave
            the ad-libbin' to you. Have fun with it.
