JD1 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Hi Folks Anyone got a transcription for Stormin Norman's 16th fest? Alternatively I'm sure it has been covered in one of the bass mags over the years and I still got most of them - anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers John Quote

Cheers John[/quote] The full notated transcription with tab was in Bassist issue 11 1995. I have a copy if you can't find it. I used to play it on my Wal 6 string with a band around 96/97 Edited June 21, 2008 by Mr Bassman Quote
JD1 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks Guys It's notation rather than tab I'm after. I've got about 95% of the Bassist magazines (not stored in date order I hasten to add). Any ideas who was on the front cover? Quote
JD1 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Got it. (By the way, Andrew Levy on the cover sporting a rather splendid shirt). Quote

I'm not a tab person either. Quote

SteveK Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I've got a copy (notation) and a scanner that works If it's possible to send jpegs via PM and you want a copy, PM me. Steve EDIT: Can't figure out how to send attachments in PMs, any help appreciated. Edited June 22, 2008 by SteveK Quote

JD1 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 If you can get a copy of the front cover as well - the shirt is busier than the bassline. Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Its not that I don't think information share is a great thing cos I do. but as an aside, transcribing or learning, by ear, basslines of any sort is some of the best practice you can do to improve: a )your playing and b ) your overall musicianship. As I said I'm trying not to pontificate as I love the fact that everone here is so willing to share Edited June 23, 2008 by jakesbass Quote
JD1 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 I totally agree mate. As a self taught player who had to work everything out by ear I've relied on said ears for years - and worked out a fairly close approximation of Rhythm Stick in the process. (However in recent years I've started to look into the black arts of theory and reading). I think there is far too much reliance on tab these days at the expense of ear training - but I'm starting to lapse into grumpy old man mode - so I'll get me coat. Quote

Steve[/quote] OT. Back in the 70's this book was recommended by my Bass Teacher [A BBC Sessionist/Jazzer called Joe Muddel ] Modern Reading text in 4/4 by Loius Belson. This is just Fantastic for Getting your reading chops together. Lots of good syncopated stuff.

You might surprise yourself by learning with your ears. It aint that hard... Playing it as a consistent performance...Ah....thats another matter... For me anyway. Garry Quote

I thought this was to help you get around PolyRhythm problems. Garry Quote
