The melody of Family Affair by Sly And The Family Stone runs 253 notes across 57 bars, 2:53 long in Gm at 110 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
