Mary Wells

My Guy Bass Tab

My Guy
Written by Smokey Robinson, this song by Mary Wells reached
Number 5 in 1964 here in the UK. Bass performance by the legend
James Jamerson. Tab by bass50611.
A simplified bass line and not exactly as the original
especially in the outro but it does fit and makes it a very
melodic song to play along to.  As always with Jamerson listen
for the syncopation.  Any comments bass254@btinternet.com
