Road to Ruin - Mr Big

[LemonCello]

Our guitarist has just come back from the Cheltenham summer school where he did this. I'd never heard of Mr Big but turns out Billy Sheehan played bass!

I actually like this track a lot and would like to get Billy's bass line down 'as was'

Dots or Tab would be very useful.

Cheers,

How could you not know that!!

Anyway... I know the whole song (and album!) of by heart, i'll work it out in notes and try and put pen to paper when i have free time!

Mr. Big are a GREAT band, seeing them on thursday

[LemonCello]

I spent the entirety of the '90's playing 'cello in orchestra so quite a lot passed me by!

Have just ordered 'Lean into It' from HMV and I've been getting to know them on You Tube. I've also spent the last two hours tabbing it out and I've got about half way thru!

Would still be good to compare notes...

Cheers,

+ 1 the new album "What if..." is also great!

That transcription is very close, not 100% but almost so that plus your ears should be all you need!

Used to play this song a few years ago

Great tune to play live but unfortunately we ended up dropping it as only a few punters seemed to know it (did Green Tinted Sixties Mind instead)!
