[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1319220523' post='1411572'] Great playing, really enjoyed that.. a great rhytm section with confident playing. Nice guitarsolo at the end too.. Heard the original just the other day on the radio and the bass-line captured my attention. Just good solid bass-playing with excellence in the details. [/quote] Cheers dude, couldn't be happier with Josh on drums & Harry on percussion. They're easily the most fun & easiest players i work with. Ahh, the guitar solo at the end, not going to lie, its about as much as a w***iest as it can get but he's damn awesome at it. I've got a transcription on my website if you ever want to look at the finer details of the line.

Sorry to bump an old thread. Just a workshop session with Jessie J's band, all i can say is they are all great great musicians and amazing people too. Phil is an awesome guy & has managed to get us some tickets for tonights show so i can't wait.

[quote name='cytania' timestamp='1318968604' post='1408474'] Thanks JR, what's this Perfect business? I understand flat and I assume major means as in the normal major scale I can play. Are there any other varieties of scale lurking other than natural, pentatonic or chromatic? Where does chromatic get used other than as a flourish? [/quote] I'm going to let Doddy take this i think as his off hand knowledge is going to be greater than mine. A perfect 5th or 4th essential means its not diminished or augmented.

[quote name='cytania' timestamp='1318966804' post='1408435'] I used to think there was just major and minor. I got that, one sounds happy the other sad. Then I was told scales could be diminished or dominant. Then there are modes which are the particular flavours of major and minor. But where does pentatonic and chromatic fit? And chromatic, that's all the notes right?, almost a denial of the scale since nothing is selected or omitted. Alot of the modes seem so exotic that naming examples means experimental jazz and classical exercises, doesn't help get familiar with them. Can anyone explain in plain language? How do they teach this stuff to children? [/quote] The pentatonic scale can be either Major or Minor. For example, Major = R - M2 - M3 - P5 - M6 - 8ve Minor = R - m3 - P4 - P5 - M7 - 8ve [size="2"][color="#000000"]Depending on how your learning your modes, they're just major or minor scales but starting on a different degree of that scale.[/color][/size] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Ionian R M2 M3 P4 P5 6M 7M [/font] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Dorian R M2 b3 P4 P5 6M b7 [/font] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Phrygian R b2 b3 P4 P5 b6 b7 [/font] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Lydian R M2 M3 b5 P5 M6 M7 [/font] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Mixolydian R M2 M3 P4 P5 M6 b7 [/font] [font=courier new,courier,monospace]Aeolian R M2 b3 P4 P5 b6 b7 *This is your relative minor.

[quote name='henry norton' timestamp='1318782997' post='1406142'] Aww Man! Grand piano and double bass in a big, modern looking rehersal space? That scenario would be like a wet dream for most BC'ers. I don't suppose anyone on here is going to top that!!! [/quote] Ahh, its a bar that i have a regular gig in. Acoustic pop covers. It is lovely though.

Tried a search but couldn't really find anything so i thought best to start a new thread, if there already is one point me in the right direction

Any chance of the pdf of the transcription??

It reminds me of the Brian Cullbertson Live in the studio dvd, love it.

I'll be there & performing with 2 other bassists & a drummer. It's going to be a good day I bet & with a Marcus Miller master class I'm priveliged to be on the same stage as him.

Played this at a show a couple of months ago. Here's my transcription of it. [url="http://jbbass.co.uk/Documents/You%20Keep%20Me%20Hangin%27%20On%20-%20The%20Supremes.pdf"]You Keep Me Hangin' On[/url]

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1317741807' post='1393985'] Nice work mate! (Sorry for being a pedantic d!ck, but you've got 'John Meyer' and it's 'John Mayer' :S) [/quote] As you can tell i'm not a massive John Mayer fan I'll get round to changing it at some point.

By The Way Here, [url="http://jbbass.co.uk/Documents/By%20The%20Way.pdf"]notation [/url] I've got all the other RHCP dots but not on me at the moment, i can send them through later. Same with Kings of Leon & Muse

Get yourself a standard theory book and learn the notes on your fretboard. If you know your theory, you know the scale and if you know your fretboard you know where to play the notes etc..... Don't rely on patterns.

[quote name='bassist_lewis' timestamp='1317068756' post='1386431'] sometimes i find it easier to think in tones and semitones: ionian - T T S T T T S dorian - T S T T T S T phrygian - S T T T S T T lydian - T T T S T T S mixolydian - T T S T T S T aeolian - T S T T S T T locrian - S T T S T T T [/quote] Ahh i find this method doesn't aid me in anyway. With a system like this there is little way to relate it to a scale quickly, whereas knowing that a Dorian scale has a a b3 & b7 it is instantly accessible. I hope that makes sense in a weird way

i'd have a look but i can't listen to them without liking them but i can't like them without listening them. what a stupid idea.
