John Patitucci "Heart of the Bass" Transcription

[funkypenguin]

Happy Christmas from the sunny caribbean!!!

Here is my transcription of John Patitucci's "Heart of the Bass", title track of said same CD. Its one of the most beautiful solo bass pieces ive ever heard, and i've finally finished my transcription of it.

The improvised solo towards the end of the piece isnt transcribed all exactly in time as per the recording. the phrases are all transcribed as reference points for when the looped figure is playing. Everything else is more or less correct (I think!!)

Check out the recording of the piece on spotify, its one of the most gorgeous pieces in the bass repertoire.

Can't seem to download it, mate. I cans ee it on screen but it is too small to be of any use so I woudl like to copy it but it won't let me. Can you email me a pdf?

[funkypenguin]

Hey Bilbo, sure not a problem. PM me you email and i'll do my best to email it to you on friday once the ship im on is back in Miami (internet on the ship while at sea is sporadic at best and hardly ever works when i try to connect on my laptop). If i have to stay on the ship then, i'll get it to you ASAP. If anyone else has the same problem of PDF size PM me your email address and i'll email you the PDF ASAP

If you save link as and then delete the .ipb and write .pdf in its place it works

I got a copy off funkyp and realised that there is an issue with transcribing for a 6 string. That many ledger lines either ay makes the chart unreadable. May a full piano stave of the of tenor/alto clefs?

Thanks for sharing this, as it no doubt took a fair bit of work (it would have done for me anyway).

Is it supposed to be ironic that it's called 'Heart of the Bass' but is almost entirely on the treble clef?
