Just posted a transcription/video of Jack Bruce's bass line on uTube.

No, not god awful TAB.

But for folk who have bothered to learn to read music.

Thanks .

[Badass]

Yes thanks indeed !

[timmo]

That is good. I will have a crack at that.

Excellent! That's an easy song to play badly, so it's great to see and hear Jack Bruce's musical mannerisms accurately represented.

Sorry for this, i am trying to learn music, and can`t play anything tangible outside a limited theory.
Is the first four bars A A Gflat Cflat, A A A Cflat C, A A A Cflat C, AA Gflat A C flat A C?

Not quite. The 'natural' sign cancels (until the end of the bar...) the key signature sharps or flats for that note, so the key-signatured 'G#" becomes an ordinary 'G'. Similarly for the 'C#', the 'natural' turns it into a 'C' until end of bar.

It should come out as...

Still, not bad for a self-confessed 'limited theory'. Carry on; you're doing fine.
Hope this helps.

Ahh thanks for that. I just got myself confused with the 3 sharps, but they were all flats.

[wal4string]

No, you were correct they are sharps. A flat looks like this [i]b.(a small B.)[/i]

..?
[/quote] I meant i misread the natural for a flat, thinking it was just the computer sign for a flat instead of a b. It got me confused as i have not advanced to reading that yet. and not seen the natural before. I am very basic at the moment

Here we go. This should make things clearer. I have changed the key, but the notes are the same.
