Just wondering if anyone has a clue what notes are being played, and what
the approximate rhythm is for this liver version of Son of Shaft. It is
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!

Thanks for any help, am new to the site, only just discovered it, will be
coming back for more info, and I'd like to say to help others but that
would imply I have something worth giving!
7/14/2006 at 16:35You will need to know how to play the funk 16 note rhythm style first
7 and 9 chords etc...
7/30/2006 at 09:56Thanks Brian, I know the basic fingerings of the 7th and 9ths
http://www.angelfire.com/music5/hectim/tabs.txt, just wondering what the
actual notes were, and is it just one string being played etc. Not familiar
with wah playing, sounds to me that is just the one string being played and
the sound is then manipulated from that. Will give it a go 
7/30/2006 at 12:43Playing funk music is hard to explain in words as it's very much
improvised!

hes using those few notes plus hes muting the string/strings while using
wah wah to get that chucka chucka sound...just mute string/strings by
barley touching them with chord hand and get the right hand to get that
cool funky rythm going while maniputating the sound with the wah wah pedal.
