------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPTOWN FUNK - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Spencer Riner E-mail: spencerriner@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Bass Intro: Notes: You can hammer on from 3 to 5 on the D string quickly for effect if you want to. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------5-3---5-3----------5-3---5-3---------------------------------------| A|--5---5-----5-----3--5---5-----5-----3-------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar Intro: Notes: I'm putting two different lines here. The first one (1) is just how he plays it on the record, the chords get their context from the bass. Below that (2) is a way you can play it without a bass player with root position chords. The hardest thing about this part is getting the rhythm of it. (1) Dm7 G7 e|---8-8---8-8---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------| B|---6-6---6-6---6-6-6--6----------------------------------------------------| G|---7-7---7-7---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (2) Dm7 G7 e|---8-8---8-8---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------| B|---6-6---6-6---6-6-6--6----------------------------------------------------| G|---5-5---5-5---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------| D|---7-7---7-7---5-5-5--5----------------------------------------------------| A|---5-5---5-5---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Pre-Chorus: Notes: I guess that's what to call it. The "I'm too hot" part. Super minimal part. Do it a few times. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3h5--------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus (Horn part): Notes: After the "Don't believe me just watch". This is the horn part, but could work on guitar too. There's a break before the 6 hits at the very end, you can get it by listening along while you play. The intro chords are also playing during the chorus, but on a synth I think. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-10-----------10-----------10-----------10----10-9--------10-10-10-10-10-10| D|----12-10-12-----12-10-12-----12-10-12-------------12-10-------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Those are pretty much all the parts to this song. Lmk if something is missing. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
