I. Performance Notes
On this track from the O(+>Interactive CD-ROM, O(+> or Sonny T is
playing a five string bass. However, I have no such instrument, and therefore
have simulated a five string bass by tuning the low E string of my four string
bass to D.
A live version of this track from the KTS bootleg "Welcome 2 The
Beautiful Experience," features very similar playing. The only difference is
a slightly more aggressive tone, achieved by using the slap and pop technique,
on the chorus section of the song.
At the start of the song, Rhythm Figure 1 is played by the guitar two
times before the bass enters. The bass enters at 00:23, playing Rhythm Figure
1. The guitar solo section is carried by the bass. This progression looks
like this:
1. INTRO section
2. VERSE section (w/o the
last measure)
3. VERSE section (w/o the
last measure)
The Outro, instead of being another rhythm figure, is simply two notes that
signal the end of the song.

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 PRINCE 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.
