thebassist Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks a lot gentlemen but I actually made the wrong request - I should have asked for bass tab. While my playing ability is OK from being in various bands for twenty odd years, my theory is at beginner level - I'm currently studying Rock School grade 3. I'd like to get hold of the bass tab so that I can play along with the Heavy Weather CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebassist Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) That is why I'm doing grades but I'd like to play along to the CD now. Edited December 31, 2013 by thebassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foal30 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Boring old man writes never miss a chance to read music. If you learn it off the stave it stays in your head properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebassist Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 While I agree, I'm simply not going to be able to learn to read music as quickly as I'd like which is why I'm taking my grades now - I completely understand that there are no short cuts to learning to read music but I do need to be able to play Birdland and Havona by next Saturday so needed the tab. I'll be able to learn and play the bass part while playing along to the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myke Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I myself am not amazing at reading music but I have some ability to do it. I learnt by putting myself in a situation where I had to learn to do the gig (pit work). So perhaps for you, this could have been the best situation to do it. But saying that, you have to play Jaco.. So perhaps not! Anyway, good luck with the songs and with your grades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebassist Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I've pretty much got Birdland now. Havona is so, so hard - I'll try my damn hardest but I'm not confident on this one at all. Edited January 1, 2014 by thebassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebassist Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Found this FYI all. Mind you, I'm not confident I'll be able to get this in 10 days. I wouldn't be able to put a timeframe on it but I reckon I'll need at least a month with this piece. http://trinityrockstore.fabermusic.com/Havona-Grade-8-Bass-b1014.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
