Meghan Trainor – Funk (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

Artist: Meghan Trainor Track: Funk Album: Treat Myself Listen carefully to the song for timings etc, there are a few variations e.g. vibrato/hammer-on notes which make it 'funkier' here and there. Opportunity to improvise some of the sections. Simple but fun song to play, I hope this is as accurate as possible to original track. 1st Intro - no bass Bass comes in second section of introduction Throughout the song the bass tends to not come in straight away on each section [Intro] "I miss the way we used to funk"
