Sometimes I Laugh by Victor Wooten NOTE: I believe that this is played by Mr. Wooten with CGDA strings [take off E and move down all strings, then buy a C string for the top], in which case everything is moved down 5 frets. I just used GDAE and capo’d the fifth fret to make CGDA. [ +#+ means harmonic, x means muted note, h is hammer on, p is pull off and / is slide] BASE G|------+17+-----------+17+---------+21+-----------------+17+--------| ^^chord with this and other stuff i cant pick out^^ G|------+10+-----------+10+-------------+12+-----------------+12+----| D|------+10+-------+10+----+10+-----+12+-------------+12+------------| A|---+12+----10-12--------------/14--------12-14-15------------------| E|-13------------------------------------------------------------(15)| [harmonics wont be right If 5th fret isn’t capo’d or without CDGA strings] This goes on throughout the song while the melody is played: MELODY G|----12/14--12-----12-------------14--12------------------------------| D|-14-----------12-----12h14—12/14--------12---------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------14/15---------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------repeats-----------| Sometimes G|-14/17-14—[same as above”””””””””””””””]-----------------------------| D|----------------------------------------12h14p12---------------------| A|------------------------------------------------14/15----------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| With variations im sure… And a chord of a high harmonic C [+17+ fret on G] plays steady eigths] And a bass thing of E|-1---3---2---3-| or E|-----2~/3-|, Maybe G|-------------4----5-| D|---3----5---5-5--5--| A|--3-3--5-5-2----3---| E|-1----3-------------|(you’ll have to go to GDAE for this) ( FMaj EMaj bmi CMaj )I think G|-------------------12-14--12----------12---------------------------| D|-------12-14----14-----------15-14-12-----12(10--9-10)-------------| A|-14-15-------15---------------------------14-15-14-15--------------| E|----------------------14-----------10------------------------------| And with a little thing of G|-x---17h19-/21-19-17-| BASE and MELODY stop and this goes: G|----------14-16-14--------------14-16-14---------------------------| D|----14h16----------16-----14h16----------17-16---------------------| A|-5----------------------5------------------------------------------| E|-------------15--------------------15------------------------------| [I capo the 5 on A (so I play open), you can do 10 on E or open on D (without capo), or, if you have CDGA, open like me] Sounds like its just played with an identical copy at the same time, and maybe a bass line of D (the lowest D you have)on the 1 beat and G on the 3 G|---------14-16-14---------14--11(9)-(7)----------------------------| D|---14h16----------17-16-14-------14-12-----------------------------| A|-5----------------------12-----------------------------------------| E|------------15----------------10-----------------------------------| G|----------14-16-14--------------14-16-14----19---------------------| D|----14h16----------16-----14h16----------17------------------------| A|-5----------------------5------------------------------------------| E|-------------15--------------------15------------------------------| Move that down a step: (C on the 1 and F on the 3) G|---------12-14-12--------------12-14-12----17----------------------| D|---12h14----------14-----12h14----------15-------------------------| A|----------------------15-------------------------------------------| E|-8----------13--------------------13-------------------------------| G|----------12-14-12----------12-------------------------------------| D|----12h14----------15-14-12---14-12-10-----------------------------| A|-15----------------------10---12-----------------------------------| E|-------------13----------------------------------------------------| Have fun
