I can read music but im not that fast,why have you stopped doing the tab,i think your site would get a lot more hits if you continued doing tab as well as notation,nice website though,its just for more complicated bass lines the actual playing technique takes up loads of time so it would be easier to have tab rather than to sit down and have to work through notation,cheers.

I fully understand what you are saying, and agree - I would get a lot more hits. I will be trying to get TAB versions up of everything as soon as I can. It just takes a lot more time to do.

Pleased to hear you like the transcription.

Really nice version, Simon. I'm going to have a crack at this now; it's one of my favourite songs ever and definitely one of my "funeral songs".

Just for a comparison to show how darn good this is, here's Jamerson's bass track isolated...

I heard the vocal tracks isolated on this.
Spine tinglingly good and I think it was done in one take.
Mind you this is pretty sublime too !

Great transcription as always Simon.

[Simon]

Thanks guys!

Yes, that isolated Jamerson bass line is superb. What a gem! Wish I could get all bass lines like that!

Excellent again Simon. Must start transferring all my paper written stuff into some new falngled computer thing. What you guys feeling? Sibelius or Finale?

Been looking at Finale 2011 and Sibelius 6. What are the pros and cons... sorry for derailing the thread a little, you reckon I should start a new one.... in fact, I shall...

[Lo.]

Great job!

Shameless link to my version - learnt by ear and stitched the bits of best of a few takes together over the backing track without the original bass on it.

Long live the king.

[Simon]

Very nice Lo. - Im a fan of your videos... you have the sound nailed!

EBS, I use Sibelius. Personally I found it a lot easier to use... more intuitive IMHO.
