garethfriend Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Fancy a challenge so I thought I'd give this a go, while I [i]could[/i] sit down and work it out given enough time I think I am going to have enough trouble with the actual playing it bit so a little help on the notes would be much appreciated. Can just about scrape by with "proper" music, can just about get there with tab and a good listen too so does anyone have anything accurateish?

Cheers Gareth[/quote] The 'power tab' [url="http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/chic/everybody_dance_power_tab.htm"]is here [/url]i think it also works in Tux which is free, it looks reasonably acurate although i didnt look to closely. There is an official songbook out somewhere that has Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards stuff in music notation and tab, apparently it goes into some detail. edit: [url="http://www.basslinepublishing.com/nile-rodgers-and-bernard-edwards-funk-and-disco-grooves.html"]Here is the songbook link[/url]: Edited February 12, 2011 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
