Jamiroquai
Virtual Insanity
****************

Tabbed By Eric Siljander < M_Siljander@bc.sympatico.ca >

Hey funky bass players, here are some things you need to know to play
the song right...

The Chorus- You need to know how to slap and pop if it is gonna sound
            right. However this causes there to be dead notes in among
            the clear ones. I won't tab these because it would make it
            way too complicated for you and too hard for myself! The
            rhythm is alittle jumpy and may be hard to get into at
            first, but once you get in the groove, its easy.
The Verses- This section is played with plucking. Try to get some snap
            on all the D-string notes. Stu does whenever I've seen him
            live, and it sounds good!
The Break-  As Stu often does, he ad-libs everywhere. So to make it
            easier on myself, I'll tab the basic pattern and leave
            the ad-libbin' to you. Have fun with it.

   The bass comes in at the First chorus and goes like this...

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	i think that whoever submitted the lyrics for this may have made a slight error. the last line of the set after the first chorus. There's something in these futures that we have to be told. Im pretty sure that instead of "be told", that its "veto." you know? like, something in our future that we've gotta stop before it happens. the songs all about warning us so we think a bit. jay kay is trying to change the world.

	suckmykiss - i remeber buying the album in 1998, but i think the actual release date was in 1996. i think these were the singles released off the album: virtual insanity, cosmic girl and alright.

	in the future we will be so dependant on technology, we won't have to do anything for ourselves. Anything can be done by our will. This is a bad thing.
