Bubble Shuffle by Larry Carlton Artist: Larry Carlton Track: Bubble Shuffle Album: On Solid Ground (1989) Tabbed by: pedal2 This is early stages with this tab so not every voicing or run may be 100% correct yet. I've tried to give some rhythm information by noting where the beats and 8th notes fall but it fell apart a bit for the solo. You'll probably need to listen to the track to get it right. I've left stuff like vibrato out because I'm assuming you won't need that if you're learning this :P. Suggested voicings for verse rhythm: A(9): x024xx and x022xx F#m(9): 246xxx and 244xxx F9: 135xxx G9: 357xxx Tempo: 95bpm, swung 16ths 'VERSE' A(9) F#m(9) e----10-9-------|----------------|--------------------|----------------| B-7-8----10-----|----------------|--------------7\5-3-|2---------------| G----------9-11b|12--7--6--------|4---7--6------6\4-2-|2--/4--2-------/| D---------------|----7--7--------|5---9--7------------|6--/4--2-------/| A---------------|----------------|--------------------|----------------| E---------------|----------------|--------------------|----------------| . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

This lick tends to vary on the repeats. 2. Uses double stops here 2nd time around. 3. 2nd time around play the octaves together Wes Montgomery style. 4. I think he flubbed this - it's just picking noise. This'll fit or make up your own lick here. 5. Hit 14 then slide up from 12 to 13. 6. No reason why you couldn't move this a position down, as long as you're comfortable bending 3 semitones on the first string. Hope this was helpful. Comments, corrections and (constructive) criticism are welcome. Key: b = bend to sound at pitch after 'b' / = slide up \ = slide down trip = 16th note triplet trip 8ths = 8th note triplet straight = play notes without swing feel www.TAB6.com
