Marvin Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I found two transcripts - one is just root notes, and [b]just[/b] root notes the other is a bit more interesting, which I think is the actual line. Which one do most of you play. I don't like being different....well sometimes I do Edited November 12, 2010 by Marvin Quote
obbm Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I have a pdf file of the tab which I downloaded from bryanadams.org a couple of years ago and to my ears it is the same as the record. I've just had a search and i can no longer find it. If you would like a copy then pm me. Quote
risingson Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I try and avoid Bryan Adams likes the plague. Unfortunately every Friday and I Saturday night I get hounded to play it by someone and as a direct result of this I find the song makes me want to go firebombing! Quote
acidbass Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I like to play ascending runs in the prechorus - the Bm part, I usually run up to the D, then up to the G. Aside from that - not really anything that different, mostly roots with the odd passing tone and octave thrown in! Quote
Dood Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 If you don't have a keyboard player - Drop tune you bass to D - then in the choruses play the keyboard melody as well as the bass part. Looks cool, as well as filling in that all too familiar part of the song! Quote
waynepunkdude Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I can't get 'Living on a Prayer' out of my head, do they sound similar? Quote
YouMa Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Me on the the bottom for 69 every time,sorry folks! Quote
thisnameistaken Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I would rather kill myself. I used to try to offer humourous modes of death in response to questions like this but I no longer find any joy in it. I would just kill myself. Quote

JimBobTTD Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I play it in the cheesy pop/rock covers band I'm in. We have a keyboard player, so I just do the root notes and throw in an occasional octave - nothing too fancy, but I'm "singing" backing vocals too. I use a 5-string and use the low D. It's actually my favourite song we do, but that's mostly because the singer has a real problem with singing "me and my baby in a 69" in the outro bit. Quote
