The Who - Substitute, dots anyone?

[thepurpleblob]

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

Have you tried listening to one of the live versions?

[Delberthot]

Is there an isolated bass version on Youtube?

That's how I learned Won't Get Fooled Again for the rock band

[thepurpleblob]

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

Here you go. Don`t know how accurate it is.

When you see it like that, you don't have to move your hand much

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

Did Entwistle ever play the same lines to a song twice?

[Lozz196]

I prefer the bassline Glen Matlock plays, on The Sex Pistols version.

Sorry, don't have it. Would you accept this instead..?

Thanks guys. Pretty sure I'm there now. I didn't even know there was a Sex Pistols version. Off to YouTube....

[leftyhook]

Just make something up. I never played JE version. Well, like PIno said, the first line, yes, then off you go!

The man himself thought that the bass solo was quite important, he said so himself.

Excellent advice, when it comes to the bass solo, turn up!

(Goodness, can't remember the last time I had a bass solo!)

Not even twice in the same song.
