JAMIROQUAI
Cosmic Girl
Album: Travelling Without moving
Played by: Stuart Zender
Tabbed by: Fjon (fjonklein@excite.com)
As usual, Stuart plays loads of litle fills throughout, which I'm not
going to figure out. These are the basic riffs for chorus and verse:
[Verse] Fig. 1 Fig. 2
G|----------|--------------| |----------| |--------|
D|--------2-|2-3-4---------| |----------| |-x/--9\-|
A|------2---|------3-(0)-2-| |----------| |--------|
E|0--x3-----|--------------| |-0--x-3-2-| |--------|
Fig.1 is sometimes added on to end the end of the verse
Fig.2 Is played going into the choeus.
[Chorus]
*
G|--------------|---------------|--x4-----6-|--------| * = sometimes
D|--6-----4-4---|---------------|-----------|--------| play 4-4
A|--------------|---------------|2----2/4---|4--4--4-| instead
E|-4--2-2-----2-|-2--2--2-2-0-2-|-----------|--------|

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

D|-----------------|
A|---------3-------|
E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
