Skol303 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't have the dots, but if it helps there are only four chords (Bm – D – F#m – E) which repeat throughout, so there's plenty of scope to just happily jam along to it This guy nails it very nicely with some interesting fills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRdRSNQdWMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 A bit busy, but still an interesting 3 mins for me. This is on the list for the cover band to start playing in October. The vid was also a good example for two points which regularly get raised here: there was no stretching for any of the notes and no floating thumb. 'nuff said!

Muzz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) We've been doing it for a few weeks, it's more about the groove on the day/night for me, and it depends on which drummer I'm playing with. Just the four chords looping round, so it's fun. Vid is waaaaay too busy for me, tho, as Chris says, some interesting fills.

lefrash Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wow that video is well played, but if I did as busy a line as that at a gig, id get shot! Funnily enough though, I played this tune for the first time on Saturday night. Although I didnt stick to the original bass line, its a great opportunity to get a groove going with the drummer! Good fun playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 We do it with our acoustic band. Amazing reaction when you get the groove going on double bass and cajon and the audience still aren't 100% sure if it is, and then the acoustic guitar drops in with Niles riff, it gets 'em every time and they love it . It's just such a feel good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The original part for this is something else - Nathan East really is one of the best players I've ever heard and this is a fine piece of grooving, I don't think he plays anything the same way twice!

StageAhead Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 One of my students recently asked me about the bassline to this song. I tried to transcribe the original Nathan East bassline. It was really hard, because you can't barely hear the five-string bass and it's low frequencies in the mix. I finally transcribed only the first part 'til the first chorus and I share it with you.

Nice bit of jamming in the studio I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is listening very much to the vocal line as well, especially in the vocoder/robot voice breakdown (when the Bass comes in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highwayman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'd like to see a transcription for a four string? Are the ones out there for five strings (as it was originally)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highwayman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks. I do better from notation right now though; I've found this one: http://bradcheeseman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Get-Lucky.pdf Will this have been specifically transcribed for a five string? (or will it work fine with four?). Edited January 29, 2017 by highwayman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
