Hamster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I saw this on Amazon [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Funk-Bass-Bible-Recorded-Versions/dp/0634089250/ref=pd_sbs_b?ie=UTF8&qid=1200652366&sr=8-3"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Funk-Bass-Bible-Re...2366&sr=8-3[/url] .....but there's no review. Has anyone read it and can recommend it? I'm looking for some accurate tabs of funk / soul / motown if you want to suggest some other books Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Google it. Most of these are pretty simple You should be able to get them off the record. 32 funk classics transcribed note-for-note with tablature for bass, including: Brick House Can You Handle It Car Wash Cissy Strut Cold Sweat, Pt. 1 Dazz Do It ('Til You're Satisfied) Dr. Funkenstein Fantastic Voyage Fight The Power 'Part 1' Fire Funk #49 Get Off Give It Away Higher Ground I Wish Le Freak Let's Groove Lopsy Lu Love Games Love Rollercoaster Low Rider Mr. Big Stuff Pick Up The Pieces Power Run For Cover Sex In A Pan Stay Stay With Me Tonight Sumthin', Sumthin' Super Freak Word Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok, it didn't say anywhere that it was just a tab book - I was hoping that it was a sort of history of funk with a few tabs in it Most of those are reasonably simple - but the thing is, as with all these books you can never tell how accurate the tabs are without personal recommendations.

Thunderthumbs Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 If you're after some Motown, I can highly recommend [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Standing-Shadows-Motown-Legendary-Jamerson/dp/0881888826/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200655311&sr=8-1"]Standing In The Shadows Of Motown[/url] Great book, with plenty of history about James Jamerson, and lots of sheet music accompanied by the tracks played by lots of top bass players. The sound's also recorded with all bass balanced one side, and all the rest balanced the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
