Uptown funk Bassline Played By: Jamareo Artis Tabbed by: Ctameron Tuning: Standard 5 String B-E-A-D-G / and \ are slide up slide down *is staccato There are a few fingered lines in this as well when he follows the horns for fills. All the tabs I've seen for this are all tabbed for a four string, but he must either play with an octave pedal or he's playin’ with a fiver cuz its mainly all on the low B string. Main Riff:(all slapped pretty well cept' for some popped stuffed lol) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --3\--3*-/8-6--3*-/8-6--1-3\-- Fills to main riff are random slap riffs such as: (the first one seems to be his “go-to” fill for most of them cuz most are based around it and the D Harmonic minor/D major/D pentatonic minor/D Blues scales mainly the latter) Fill#1 Fill#2 Fill#3 ----------------------- ------------------ ----------- ------5-- ----------------------- ----5----7-------- ----------- --------- ------------x--3h5----- OR --x----x---------- OR -----3--5-- OR ----x---- ----3h5---------------- ------------3h5--- ----x--x--- --------- --x------x------------- x----x------------ ----------- --------- Pre-chorus: -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- --0--1--3\---- (Bass Break)
