Song: Zooma
Artist: John Paul Jones
Album: Zooma
Tabbed by: Philippe Alexandre Clegg ([email protected])

This is the title song to JPJ's great album Zooma. It is played on either an 8—
or 12—stringed bass, so there is a thick sound (use an octave pedal maybe...).
There are some pretty hard riffs to hear and transcribe, and for these I have
either tabbed an alternative or left a blank. I never play bass with a pick,
but this one is a fast one. JPJ must use a pick for this one to hit all of the
strings anyway. So, here you go.

Those are your riffs. Just use each one when appropriate, you'll hear the change.
Well have fun.
