Artist: John Mayer Song: Bigger than My Body Album: Heavier Things Tabbed by: the99thaisle This song has got some very nice basslines. I know for sure that almost all the notes are right, but the timing can be very hard to follow. I apologize for not being able to express the timing very clearly. Lyrics (which may or may not be the correct lyrics--apology number two) are written in to help show when to play. Wherever there is a slide ending in a note in parentheses [for instance 2/(7)] it means slide to that note but don't pluck it. Instead pluck the note that is transcribed directly below the note in parentheses. If that doesn't make sense now, wait til you see it and then it'll make sense.
