Victor Wooten - Yingin' and Yangin'
Tabbed by David Balatero [david.balatero@attbi.com]
May 2, 2002 | http://www.davidbalatero.com
####################################################

x = ghost note
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
<2&6> = closed harmonic [put a finger firmly down on 2, harmonic lightness for 6]
        [place fingers RIGHT before the fret (or right on the note for fretless)]
h = hammer on
tr = trill
^ = vibrato

Technically you can play this without a 5-string bass, you'll just miss 
a few notes. But, of course, a 5-string IS useful. I do not have a 5-string, 
but i wrote where the notes should go. My ear is pretty good, and I can 
identify most notes and get them down, but the opening part and the B string 
notes may be off; I doubt it though.

This tab covers the main little riff you hear at the beginning, and the lower 
bass part of the song. The higher bass part is fairly easy to solo over if you 
want to, but I just included the low end for now.

Any changes / suggestions? E-mail me, david.balatero@attbi.com.

                                  * Victor does not play this harmonic,
                                  but I thought it would be a cool
                                  ending. Do as you will.
