Great bassline. Treat the song in small sections and it's a doddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It's OK - I found a couple posted by some nice people on the interweb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 we are going to do it but might have to take it down a tone...which will make it a bit harder..plus transposing brings its own problem. Depends how accurate you want it to be... it is a pretty simple line in itself...but I think some of the turnarounds are ugly on the track so I've cleaned them up, from my POV. The piano part is more crucial so just stay out of the way of him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo10 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 We were going to do it in our band...I spent aaaaages learning it, the wife was driven round the bend by my practicing it constantly. Eventually nailed it......and pretty chuffed with myself I was too. Something in the studio at rehearsal didn't sound right, (not the bass part I hasten to add) and it got ditched. Well peeved I was!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monckyman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Used to sing and play it, some of the little 8 note runs in and out of the Chorus need concentration, but as has been said, it will avail you nought if the piano isn`t nailed down. Once you crack it, you`ll love playing it coz it swings. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a piano, it's for my 3 piece Acoustic Band, singer/guitarist, drummer and myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
