uncle psychosis Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hey folks I'm trying to learn "You keep Me hanging on" by the Supremes (see the "I love playing bass" thread in general chat) but I'm really struggling, despite having a great video of someone playing it... Does anyone have a transcription for this?

Guest bassman7755 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Lots of very short hard to hear notes in there - if I had to learn it I'd pop it straight into "amazing slow downer" or simmilar prog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's in the Standing In 'The Shadows Of Motown' song book and on the CD it's played by Chuck Rainey, sadly I have lost my copy but someone on here will have it or grab a copy from Amazon, the bass is panned so you can play along with the backing track or just isolate the bass.

Rumple Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I downloaded the .ipb file and forced it to open in Acrobat and it opened fine Bilbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeBrownBass Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Played this at a show a couple of months ago. Here's my transcription of it.

uncle psychosis Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hey guys Many thanks for the replies---managed to get a hold of the Standing in the Shadows transcription. Its a monstrous bassline---much harder than I thought it was at first! Think I've got the notes down now, just need to make it sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
