TRBboy Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I've got a gig with the local Soul Choir coming up, and we're doing Ain't No Mountain High Enough. I'm not a reader (well not very good anyway!) but I can only find one Bass TAB online. Just wondered if anyone had an accurate TAB or Guitar Pro? Cheers. Quote
Doddy Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 There is a full transcription of the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell version,and a partial transcription of The Supremes version in the book 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown'. Quote
kerley Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 The Shadows of Motown book is all notation though. Here is one although may not be any better than the one you have [url="http://www.basscamera.com/marvin-gaye/aint-no-mountain-high-enough"]http://www.basscamera.com/marvin-gaye/aint-no-mountain-high-enough[/url] Quote

JakeBrownBass Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 http://www.thebassment.info/transcriptions/marvin_gaye_tammi_terrell-ain't_no_mountain_high_enough-notation.pdf Its only notation but you've got enough time to work through it. Quote
TRBboy Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for the responses guys! The first rehearsal's Tuesday, but I'll try to pick my way through the notation....... Quote
steve-bbb Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 isolated bassline here... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07wC50bWbnY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07wC50bWbnY[/url] Quote
4 Strings Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Shame you're not local, this is the opener to our Motown set, played note for note as our hero many, many times, I could show you all you need for this one. Quote

[/quote] Yeah, that would be awesome! I find it much easier learning like that, rather than from a piece of paper. I've found out this evening that the Soul Choir are doing the Sister Act 2 version. The basics are the same, but the verses are shorter, and there's the sort of breakdown bit near the end and then jam it out. I think I've got the bones of it tonight from the TAB and listening to the record, but I'm going to get in touch with the choirs keys player tomorrow and see if he can give me the chord changes or something. Thanks again for all the help guys! Quote
4 Strings Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 [quote name='TonyBones' timestamp='1330864048' post='1563888'] Hope the files helped [/quote] That one is gold! This is the one I used to learn the bass line. Can never get the sound like that though! Quote
lojo Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Does the standing in the shadows book have all the intricate variations played during songs or just give a basic outline of baselines like some music I've seen? Quote
