Was Akira's version version of "U Can't Hold No Groove" ever tabbed out?

I remembered he recorded a version of himself with a drummer and was just wondering if his tabs were ever floating around somewhere. I used the search function and came up with nothing, but I'm sure someone may already have asked for a tabbed out version of this song, as people always are asking for tabs.

I think this is his video (I'm not totally sure though)

I apologize before hand if this should go under a different thread and I know those threads regarding tabs are always annoying. I was just wondering about this song.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Haha, sorry about the mix up.

Did Riouken ever tab that out to anyone's knowledge?

Hey man! I never tabbed that out I'm afraid.

And I don't think nyone else has to my knowledge. The bulk of what I'm playing is in the Victor Wooten music book "The Best of Victor Wooten". There are some added sections that we wrote and like I said, I've never ever tabbed them out.

What is it you wanted tabbed out?

EDIT: Oh, and that youtube account isn't mine... mine is http://www.youtube.com/riouken

Yeah, I've been looking around youtube for videos and such and I noticed that the youtube account I was looking at was your drummer's, so I found yours and got to check out your other videos. Really tight stuff. I've watched that "Groove" video an average of about 10 times per day.

I have the basis of what Wooten (and you) play, it's just that sometimes playing that G by itself at the beginning of the groove sounds a bit bare. Like maybe some other notes are added to it every now and then to make it a chord. And also, I wasn't sure if you used the fifth fret on the D string to hammer-on from the F or if you used the open G. I'll probably play around with it for a little bit more and figure it out.

I enjoyed the playing. Really tight stuff.
