Spider bass

Spider

Herbie Hancock - Spider (Secrets)
Difficulty: Intermediate (timing is difficult)

Syntax:
 /  Slide up towards
 ?  Play overtone on 5th fret (don't press down on the fret)
    Hold note for as long as the whitespace lasts

This tab is not exact. You'll have to do most of the timing by ear, and Paul Jackson does a lot of 
variations that I didn't write down. This tab is meant as a foundation for you to build upon. Be creative!
