Would you happen to have the Guitar Pro version of this song? I've wanted to learn it ever since I heard it a few months ago.

I have the "Best of Victor Wooten" book, it has this song in it. He plays it on a tenor bass, meaning you tune a regular 4-string a fourth higher then normal, so the lowest string is the A. It goes A-D-G-C.

BE CAREFUL!! Do NOT attempt this with normal bass strings, you'll probably break them. I don't know where to get tenor bass strings though, your on your own there.

It IS a tenor, but it is also tuned A-D-G-Bb

^Yeah, what he said.

He also uses a tenor bass/tuning on his version of Norwegian Wood, amazing stuff, sounds great..

man i read that thread title wrong....

I got "turning on vic wooten - more love"

"tenor bass" is technically the just top 4 strings of a 6 string bass.

A D G C

I wouldn't tune up a reg E string to an A. YIKES!

It is perhaps telling, however, that you clicked right on in.
