I wasn't clear - I've heard it, but I've never played it.  It's like Funk 49, where people think the riff is played by the bass player, but it's really the guitar or keyboard playing low.<br><br>Can you rip an MP3 an email me?<br><br>Otherwise, I'll give you my mailing address.<br><br>-Laz]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[That's cool you've offered to help!  Surprised you never heard that song.  I'm not looking for total parts but rather some riffs/sounds that would make others think "oh yea, that's use me" when I'm playing.  I've searched the net and have only these links useful.  If you want I'd be happy to send you a CD with the song on it so you can at least hear it.  Just PM me with your address.<br><br>This one looks pretty cool:<br><br><a href="http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/use_me.asp">http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/use_me.asp</a><br><br>This one shows the main riff containing the notes E, G, and a weird C# on the 9th fret (can't figure out how that fits).  But it only shows the riff:<br><br><a href="http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/use_me.asp">http://www.everydaycompanion.com/chords/songs/use_me.asp</a><br><br>No words, just description of what this guy thinks the rhythm should be.  I highly doubt his E7#9 suggestion but I have terrible ears.<br><br><a href="http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/w/withers_bill/use_me-crd.shtml">http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/w/withers_bill/use_me-crd.shtml</a><br><br>This is by a different artist and the chords look very different:<br><br><a href="http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/i/itai_miller/use_me_up-crd.shtml">http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/i/itai_miller/use_me_up-crd.shtml</a>]]></content:encoded>

Bass part, low synth, anything would be great.  I saw a guy play the bass on the song in a basement about a month ago and I think he stayed in a box.  Something like D, E, G, A, some C's and F's.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know I'm going to get chewed out here because it's not nice to ask for â€œhow does this song goâ€ or tabs.  There is a groovy song called â€œUse Meâ€ by Bill Whithers covered by a local band here â€œHoward and the White Boys.â€  It has such authoritative bass lines that make the song great.  Makes you want to wiggle your hips.  Anyway, even though I only play guitar now, does anyone out there play it?  Could you share you tab of some of the stuff you do on that song?  If not, I understand.<br><br>Click on the link and listen to song #12.  You'll remember it.<br><br><a href="http://www.bmgmusic.com/catalog/product/cd_detail.jhtml?productId=35950">http://www.bmgmusic.com/catalog/product/cd_detail.jhtml?productId=35950</a>]]></content:encoded>
