I Was Made To Love Her

Stevie Wonder

Text File

This is my attempt at recreating this brilliant work by motown bassist James
most influential bassist of the 20th century (that is, if you ask people like John Paul
John Entwistle, Paul McCartney, etc., etc.). If you are a bass player and you don't know
James Jamerson is (or even if you do), educate yourself and visit

Enjoy, and PLEASE rate this tab and/or leave comments.

Tabbed by: BASSteve

Tuning: EADG

Time signature: 4/4


* My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other
there are no specific notations to account for note / rest duration. However, you will find
I�ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective 
in order to represent the appropriate durations.

****IMPORTANT: You'll notice at the main riff I indicate that it is "varying."that means
Jamerson did not repeat the main riff exactly each time he played it.This was indicative
his style of improvisational bass playing. If he played the riff a million times - it
be a million different ways. Listen to the song and you'll see. The main riff that I 
is the first one in the song and is accurate to the note (I hope :)). After that, it is
to you to do your own improvising - this is a great song to practice this on. After all,
bass line/music Jamerson was handed at the recording session of this song was probably
basic. It was his creative playing that made this one of the greatest bass lines ever.****
