thepurpleblob Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Before I go mad, has anybody got a decent transcription of this old Who classic. I get the basics but there's some bits and bobs in there I really can't hear. Any donations gladly accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthevan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Have you tried listening to one of the live versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is there an isolated bass version on Youtube? That's how I learned Won't Get Fooled Again for the rock band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ahhh.... as you were. This is because I *was* listening to one of the live versions. It's a lot more twiddly (for want of a better word) that the original. The original is within my limited powers (I think). Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmachine2112 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I found the rythmn of the solo was more important than the actual notes for this one,I mean imagine it as a drum fill kinda thing on bass.Like diddly dah,diddly dah if you get what I mean Oh it,s hard to describe music with words. I,m sure there is isolated tracks on youtube for this. It,s really just a runaround in G. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Did Entwistle ever play the same lines to a song twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I prefer the bassline Glen Matlock plays, on The Sex Pistols version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftyhook Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just make something up. I never played JE version. Well, like PIno said, the first line, yes, then off you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The man himself thought that the bass solo was quite important, he said so himself.

The session was going well and I felt that we were ready for the master take, so when it got to the solo in the middle, I turned the bass up and there was nothing the engineer could do about it. They’d previously balanced everything and it was all going through the mixer at the same time.”[/size][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
