The Roots - What they do

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- What They Do (Intro) - The Roots ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A classic old school tune by The Roots. The intro in this song is one of my favorite things to play. Listen to the song to catch the rhythm. *I've made some important corrections. The following tab is now wholly accurate. Tablature Legend: h - hammer-on p - pull-off ~ - Vibrato / - Slide up \ - Slide Down * - Brief Note Tuning: Standard Intro e-||---8-10-11----9/10--9/10-----------------| B-||-8-----------10/11-----------------------| G-||-----------------------------------------| D-||-----------------------------------------| A-||-----------------------------------------| E-||-----------------------------------------| e-||--------------------------------------------------------------------| B-||--------------------------------------------------------------------| G-||-10/12-10/12---12\10p8---------8------------------------------------| D-||-----------------------10-8h10---10~--------------------------------| A-||---------------------------------------9p7h9----------7h9-7/9-7~----| E-||---------------------------------------------10-7--10---------------| A few barre chords with legato thrown in to spice things up Hendrix style.
