Stanley Clarke - Silly Putty

Tabbed by Dan Knoflicek.


Here is the opening, it sounds perfectly accurate.

G----11--14--------------------------9-----11--13--------9--11--9-------
D---------------------------9--11-----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------0---------------------------------------------------------------


G---11---9----------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------12--14--11------11--12--9--11--7--9--7------------
A----------------0----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This part is questionable, because I have only heard this song on my
computer and the speakers are shit.  This may be modified in the
future.

G--------------------------------6-------7--9----------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------(5)-------------(5)-------
A------------3--5--0--3--5----------------------------------------------------
E--5-----5-------------------------------------------------3--3--5-------------

This is the first chorus.

G----------------------------------------------------6-------------------------
D----------------5-------7----------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------5--1-------------------5-------5--1-----------------------------------
         (slide)                                    (slide)

Next part of chorus
(trill)
G----------------------------------------------------6-7-6-7-6--------------
D----------------5-------7----------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------5--1-------------------5-------5--1-----------------------------------
         (slide)                                    (slide)

Next part after last part                                (harmonic)
G----------------------------------------------------7-------------------------
D----------------5-------7----------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------5--1-------------------5-------5--1-----------------------------------
         (slide)                                    (slide)

Everyone who hears this song should go out and buy a Stanley Clark
album.  He has many solo albums with impressive bass lines.

Stanley Clarke - Silly Putty

Tabbed by Brian Arvis.


I think the Silly Putty tab that you have is a little botched.  I
reacently got grounded and had nothing to do but work on songs so here
it is.

Well, hope you can use it.  To me this sounds 100% perfect.  I would
tab out what I got for the rest, but I think that this is the funnest
part.
