------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If You Got Funk You Got Style - Red Hot Chili Peppers/Funcadelic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song by Funcadelic that was performed live by RHCP. Bass line is simple. As a guitarist i've tried to make a guitar line similar to Frusciante's. Tabbed by: Destroy137 Tuning: Standard Use wah wah pedal to recreate the sound. Bass intro and outro line: G---------------------| D----------0----------| A-------------2--3--2-| E-5---2---------------| (You can play D note on the 5th fret of A string intead of playing it on open D, but Flea plays it on open D) Main bass line: G---------------------------| D---------------------------| A---------------------------| E-5----55----55----3--4---5-| Intro and outro guitar pattern looks like this (Frusciante actually plays only some single notes and bends here): e|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| G|---55---55---55--7b9-5h7p5--| D|-7------------------------5-| A|------9----5----------------| E|----------------------------| Main guitar part: e|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| B|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| G|---5-xx--5-xx--5-------------|---5-xx--5-xx--5--2/5-55-5/7-77-| D|-7---xx7---xx7-------------56|-7---xx7---xx7------------------| A|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| E|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| e|-----------------------------|---------------8b10-8b10-10pbr8-| B|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| G|---5-xx--5-xx-7b9-5--7b9-5---|---5-xx--5-xx-------------------| D|-7---xx7---xx7------------75-|-7---xx7---xx7------------------| A|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| E|-----------------------------|--------------------------------| Strum hard with your right hand and mute non-sounding strings with your left hand to create Frusciante's percussive sound. Use A minor pentatonic scale from 5th fret to create your own melody.
