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. The bass comes in at the First chorus and goes like this...
