One Nation Under A Groove


One Nation Under A Groove By Funkadelic (1978) I couldn't find a guitar tab for this song anywhere, so I decided to tab it myself. It is very hard to hear what exactly the guitars are playing, so I just have the basics. I realize that I am missing some parts. Listen to the recording for timing and don't be afraid to play around with it.

Far from perfect, but since I have neither the time nor the skill to decipher every detail of the song I feel like this is a good starting point. Once you get the groove down, it is easy to add your own funky licks. Now play on, children! -S Dubb
