VICTOR WOOTEN - "Flight Of The Bumblebee" Tablature

Flight of The Bumblebee
Victor Wooten


Five String Bass in EADGC arranged for a Four String Bass in standard tuning.

I had to transpose the song from C minor to F minor because of the
range of the bass. It was much easier to drop everything
in the song a fifth as opposed to retuning.
