Jamiroquai

Artists: Jamiroquai Title: Alright Album: Travelling Without Moving Bass Player: Stuart Zender This Transcription: Lawrence Docherty Dedications: This ones for Tomsk, and for everyone else from around the world who mailed me to ask (you know who you are) :o) This is a deceptively easy number. Keep those disco octaves rock-steady, and in the sliding section try and add a bit of swing into the bassline, get yourself grooving ;o) Any comments as usual to my new address: loafer@larry.prestel.co.uk Brief key: 3/5 means slide from fret 3 to 5, X means muted note on corresponding string, 3h5 means hammer-on from fret 3 to fret 5 Intro. (Note - all notes softly plucked (I use my thumb for this section) and each note not marked X must last!!!) (There are some stray muted notes in here as well, listen to the record for timing!)

Main Riff. (Note - the octaves are all played Stacatto, ie abruptly or sharply. Use thumb and middle fingers, its the easiest) (way to play these disco-type things. Some of the notes are slid onto: I'll mark those with a *. Listen to the) (record, you'll know what I mean. This riff crops up a lot throughout the song. I'll only write it down once though.) * * * |-5-5-5-5|--------|-7-7-7-7|-------4| |--------|-5-5-5-5|--------|-7-7-7--| |3-3-3-3-|--------|5-5-5-5-|------2-| |--------|3-3-3-3-|--------|5-5-5---| repeat lots of times :) Variations on main riff.

Same as the start but play the notes Stacatto a couple of times instead of once softly.
