[A] [E]
[B] [Bb] Nice, that was really good.
Yeah, you're really getting your finger style down.
In a couple of weeks you might be ready for some slap.
Slap?
What's that?
I really shouldn't show you just yet.
What's the harm in showing you just a little?
[E]
[A]
[D] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[A] [G]
That sounds amazing.
Yeah, it [E] is pretty cool but it's a more advanced technique.
Alright, [Bb] nice.
Just make sure you don't overuse it because [G] it doesn't always work in [D] every song.
[A] [G] [E]
[B] [G]
[E] Okay, back down to business.
Let's just take it back down to basics.
Can you play me Come Together?
[G] [E] [G]
[E] [G]

[D] [E]
[C] [Em]
[C] [Em]
[C] [Em] [E]
[A] [C] [B]
[G] Thanks for agreeing to do the session today [Em] man.

[G]
[D]
[G] [E]
[G] [E]
[B] now I've reached the point in the video where I try to make my brain explode.
[A] We're going to see if I can play Victor Wooten's [Bb] Me and My Bass Guitar [A] [E] while I tell you about
Audible and Victor's new audiobook, The Spirit of Music.
[A] This [B] one's another fable-like story that explores the joy of connecting with others and playing
live music and how important that is for the world.
It's got a [E] lot of great music and life lessons in [A] there and it's [Gb] narrated by Victor himself
as well as other music legends like Chuck Rainey [G] and Jeff Coffin.
[A]
[Bbm] [Ab] [A] I'm a pretty busy guy as you might be able to tell and I'm sure a lot of you are too.
So it can be really convenient to listen to [Bb] audiobooks when you're on a [A] long drive or
a walk or something like that.
Right now, Audible have got a great 30-day free trial if you go to audible.com slash
CharlesBear2 or text CharlesBear2 [E] to 500 [F]-500.
Seriously though, if you want to take advantage of that and listen to Victor's new audiobook
and get a load of thousands of other audiobooks, then go to audible.com slash CharlesBear2
or text CharlesBear2 to 500-500 and get your 30-day free trial.
