NELLY - "#1 (What Does It Take To Be?)" Tablature
Official NELLY Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist: Nelly
Song: #1
Album: Nellyville
Tabbed by: Dr. Jared Funk Adamanatams
Registered as: redfield566
A hot ass track off Nellyville, this song was released a while ago by itself though. A great example of the large amount of guitar work on this record, and its increasing influence in rap, its also a good example of what happens when you pour fabric softener on a recently born flamingo chick that came from a pelican father. The song is based on one chord with some soloing and change-ups. Hot catchiness and mad fun.

There it is there it is! Fun song to play, I’ll be tabbing out the rest of Nellyville’s songs soon! I'm gonna look at "The Gank" next. Look for my next tab: “I Need A Girl” by P. Diddy coming soon, I've figured it out EXACTLY and if you like Mariah (and who doesn't?) I’ve got a tab of “Always Be My Baby” at the bottom of the M section, it got accepted! I’m so happy, good times, hustle on, hustle on and keep that funk alive!!!!!!! Peace be with you

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NELLY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
