Hey guys!

Just posted a bass transcription from Bag's Groove [url="http://www.mattlawtonbass.com/bags-groove-bassline-transcription/"]http://www.mattlawtonbass.com/bags-groove-bassline-transcription/[/url]

Would also appreciate any feedback on my new look blog =)

Cheers!

Hi Matt, nice work.
2 suggestions.
1. You could use a key sig (even though it's a blues) of F to save writing Bb's in everytime. Personal choice, but reading accidentals all the time can be tiresome.
2. Use quavers instead of those odd triplet things and just state 'swing feel' at the top of the chart. Anyone worth their salt will know and naturally feel it to swing the quavers. Those triplet markings are a computerised 'missing the point' thing.

It is is often tempting to put the quavers onto Sibelius etc in order to make it sound more convincing but it is better to use quarter notes and change the performance settings to 'heavy swing'.

Thanks for the input guys!

[GonzoBass]

Very nice Matt.
Thanks!

yes good one Matt

I understand you probably wanted to fit it on one page but pedant from Aotearoa writes I like blues as 4 bars per line not 6 bars.

and bilbo's book is on NZ's version of ebay

Hard to argue with that! Just about to rework it, will upload again to see how my new version fairs

[lobematt]

How does this new version look?

[GonzoBass]

Yes, [b]much[/b] easier on the yes.
