I Was Made To Love Her - Stevie Wonder
Bassist - James Jamerson

James Jamerson was a master of improv
and is one of the greatest bass players
ever. I don't claim 100% accuracy with
this tab (above 95%), but you shouldn't
aim to be a copycat anyway, and I'd
encourage you to create your own riffs
and ornamentation for the song. It'd be
a good idea to mix and combine the
riffs and also to incorporate your own.
So enjoy! And please rate/comment.
---------------------------------------
"1 e & a" is used to signify 1 crotchet
beat, split into 4 semi-quavers; it
rolls off the tongue nicely, and helps
with the syncopated rhythms.
