S'not just Pdf files, either; most files get re-baptised. Go with the flow, accept the Karma, relax... Maybe the next Forum software update will fix it (and brings its own lot of 'issues', quite likely...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Have you tried 'transcribe' ? It's pretty good if you're trying to learn something, or transcribe something. It enables you to slow it down without altering the pitch, and you can set it to repeat a section or phrase. It's brilliant for working on a difficult piece.

[/quote] I use a similar prog called Amazing Slowdowner which can alter speed and pitch independently, its allowed me to work out things that would have been pretty much impossible otherwise. Also massively handy if song was originally recorded off concert pitch or guitars tuned to Eb or whatever - I just shunt it back to proper tuning and save it. [url="https://www.ronimusic.com/"]https://www.ronimusic.com/[/url] Thats transcribe thing looks good though, and it looks like it guesses the notes and chords for you which is cheating TBH Edited October 25, 2016 by bassman7755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HengistPod Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Have a look on Songsterr ... they have an online tab player, and you can print the tab off. Either you pay and print it easily, or don't pay and just do a series of screenshots. Beware that there are two versions, though ... the original is in G and the re-recorded Steve Vai version is in A. Once you figure out the three or four basic patterns it's a straight enough tune and fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Regular in our current set list. NM did indeed pop along here a while back and at one point it looked like he might even generate a chart or online video lesson for the song but don't think he got round to it in the end. I did try to go through all the hoops when first learning it (orig vs in G) about 10 yrs ago for another band but I've now cut back to the 'economy' version that is still recognisable and seems bearable for the punters. I was going to post a youtube clip of us doing it but the bass is so low in the mix I could have been playing anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Really enjoyed learning this one for one of my bands - just got the basics down and gigged it like that for a while and gradually added the fills - some of the fill I put in are almost like the real song!!!

[/quote] I did that once. We do this jam thing where we pick what we are playing, and someone wanted to play that. Not being very familiar with it I thought 'whitesnake - how hard can that be' so agreed to do it before actually listening to it. Was a bit of a shock when I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I was asked to learn that few yrs ago and got the basic feel of the song down first and then worked on the fills that Neil puts in. There is a live VID on youtube somewhere with Neil playing a Kramer and you can pick out the fills very clearly. Sometimes the studio versions can have the fills yet when the guys play live they miss out the very techy bits but not Mr Murray. He does it all live and sometimes adds little extra bits. I have to say i am a big fan of his and he was a huge influence for me along with Jack Bruce. I used the tabs that someone provided earlier in the post. The biggest prob i found was that the fills change through the song so its not easy to remember what fill goes where altho most people would never really notice. Even bassists probably wouldn't pick up on that if they were in the audience that night but def a great song to get right and i just loved playing it. Wishing you all the very best with it and hope it all eventually just falls into place for you. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
