Bass is the place Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I was so sad to hear about the recent passing of British bass legend Mick Karn, my thoughts are with his family and friends. His fretless bass playing has inspired me as much as Jaco. I regret not seeing Mick Karn live, I was going to see him at a gig in Manchester about 6 years ago. Sadly the tour was cancelled. Over the last few days i've been listening to all things Karn which inspired me to transcribe a few of his bass riffs! I've presented them in standard notation which you can download on PDF off my website. [url="http://www.olliecollins.com/basssession/Mick-Karn.html"]Visit My Website[/url] The riffs/lines are off: Tribal Dawn - Bestial Cluster - Visions Of China - Sons Of Pioneers - Dalis Car Please accept the condition that these transcriptions are for educational use only. enjoy...let me know what you think, hopefully there ar'nt too many mistakes....

All the best for 2011 Ollie [url="http://<object%20width="480"%20height="385"><param%20name="movie"%20value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKY0P-Ec75o?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param%20name="allowFullScreen"%20value="true"></param><param%20name="allowscriptaccess"%20value="always"></param><embed%20src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKY0P-Ec75o?fs=1&hl=en_GB"%20type="application/x-shockwave-flash"%20allowscriptaccess="always"%20allowfullscreen="true"%20width="480"%20height="385"></embed></object>"]Karn, Jensen, Barbieri clip on youtube[/url] Quote

toneknob Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 If you look in the right place on Mick's website, you'll find some short transcriptions of clips from assorted songs from over the years. Very educational and inspirational. Quote
