wal4string Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The reason I started to play the bass was The Lemon Song, at the time I didn't even know what a bass guitar was having only ever just listened to songs which my elder 3 sisters played. But as I got older I began to listen more and more to my older brothers music and of course Zeppelin II was amongst his collection and it was that unknown sound that grabbed me and that track which made me want to start playing. Needless to say I have never looked back. Here I have included two slightly different versions which together are an exact transcription of the song, I will leave you to mix and match the bars if you are so inclined. I hope you enjoy as much as I have over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 This has been a very timely post for me. I recently bought Led Zep II on CD and 'rediscovered' the Lemon Song. The LP went into the loft 20 years ago and I have mainly relied on the CD box set since then (no Lemon Song). Once I work out what all those dots mean I'll be away! Surely this must be as good as it gets for blues basslines. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
