SpaceChick Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 OMG!!! That song grooves!!! Street life by Randy Crawford.... What a bloody awesome song!! I was given it as homework in my last bass lesson, but with learning songs for my audition yesterday (which I got! ) and rehearsing hard for a set of gigs with my old band, I hadn't had time to look at it until today! It's a real challenge to play, but I reckon I'm 75%-80% of the way there..... One of the things that makes it SOOOO hard is that it is a physical impossibility not to dance whilst playing it So basschatters, any songs that you just can't stop playing, and any songs you just have to dance whilst playing them?

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Is that the woman who sings with her eyes shut,and has loads of teeth? Sorry, but it brings back painful memories of '70s disco. Glad you're enjoying it tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fretbuzz Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Been doing it all week Deb... I had early issues when it shifts to single notes from the a flat .... But got it mostly now .... Just a bit out of time for the second intro riff after the b flat, a flat, bflat bit... But making it to the end now in excess of 4 minutes.... Stuck a pop in there on the C after the 3 a flat notes :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing a few slides back down to the starting F . No pops in my version though, I pants at doing pops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 P!nk - Funhouse. Got a cover of it on youtube, and it was a challenge not to dance whilst recording it. That reminds me, i need to record some more covers. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
