Victor Wooten’s “Victa” from the album “Soul Circus”
Tabbed By Matt Stephens
Sorry if this tab didn't come out right, I'm inexperienced, and this is in fact my first tab.
So I don't really know what to expect as to what it will look like on the actual website.
At the very first part of the song, there is some crazy solo thing he does, just start on D15,
and just do whatever you want till the actual song starts.
I understand that this is an extremely long tab, but most of the parts are almost the exact
same thing, I just personally pay a lot of attention to detail.

Outtro (He does do some weird stuff here as well, which is not easy to find out by ear.)
This is the main bass part
