The Very Best Of The Meters (album) by Meters
Hi Everyone,
Couldn't find many funk tabs out there so I thought I'd give it a try.
A lot of these tabs are rough, just to give a foundation to groove on.
Don't expect perfectly tabbed out Clapton or Page solos. When there is a funky riff or lick
I try and tab it out as best as possible. If you have suggestions or improvements send 'em my way!
I'll make sure to edit it regularly.
Get funky!
