Master Blaster Tabs & Lyrics by Stevie Wonder
Master Blaster
guitar tabs lyrics
Hey guys!
This is Stevie Wonder's MasterBlaster (jammin') a great, and simple, song.
UPDATE: 28/3/08: Fixed some lesser mistakes
So, as you probably know, the song starts out with some drums. Then the guitar and bass
like this:
[Intro]
E|-----------------------------------------------|
H|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----10-10----10-10---8-8----6-6----6-6---5-5--|
A|-----10-10----10-10---8-8----6-6----6-6---5-5--|
E|-8-8-------8-8-----6-6----4-4----4-4----3------|
E|-----------------------------------------------|
H|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|----3-3----3-3----3-3------10-10----8-8--------|
A|----3-3----3-3----3-3------10-10----8-8--------|
E|1-1-----1-1----1-1-----8-8-------6-6-----------|
After doing this one time, the bass keeps grooving that ^ while the guitar shifts to this
[Verse]
E|--8---8---6-----4----4----3----1----1----1----8---6---|
H|--x---x---x-----x----x----x----x----x----x----x---x---|
G|--8---8---6-7---4-5--4-5--3-4--1-2--1-2--1-2--8---6-7-|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
At 0.41 there's some sort of solo that is actually not played with a guitar, but it's
easy and sounds just as good:
[Solo-thing]
E|---------------11-----8----------|------------8---13---15---11-----|
H|------------13-----------9-------|------10---------------------13--|
G|--------12-----------------8-----|--10---------------------------12|

E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E|-13--10--------------------------|
H|---------11----------------------|
G|-------------10------------------|

Then the verse finally begins, and the guitar goes back to the verse-riff:
[Verse 0.55]
