Capo: 1
Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Master blaster (Jammin')
Artist: Stevie Wonder
Composer: Stevie Wonder
Album: Hotter than July
Tabbed by DJ 3th May 2016
Although this is mostly a chord version, there is no
real alternative than tablature for the breaks.
For a single guitarist, kicking in an effects pedal like the
Boss OC-2 for those unison breaks could be affective.
CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Cm)
Alternatively, to make the tab sections easier to follow,
tune all strings up a half-step to F-A#-D#-G#-C-F instead,
and it will still sound in Cm.
NOTE:
Chord names, and fret positions for chords and tablature,
are all relative to the capo position:
Bm = x24432 F# * = xx4322
A = 577655 F#7/E = xx2322
G = 355433 E7/D = xx0100
F# = 244322 E7/B = x20100
E = 022100
As an option to the chord progression below:

D |---4--2--0------|

Bm Everyone's feeling pretty, A G it's hotter than July,
F# E Though the world's full of problems,

On the Bmcorner at the end of the Ablock!
