billfaro Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Morning all. Hope you all had a good New Year. And not too much Vino Collapso. Does anyone know the Tabs to this great song. Trawled around tabs sites but can't get this. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ14v01M_cY"]https://www.youtube....h?v=oQ14v01M_cY[/url] Cherrs. Bill.

bubinga5 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 not sure about that one but Partridge knows everything about Cuddle Toy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH1SPYM2Y9E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I had to learn this for a covers band once, sadly I didn't tab/transcribe it. Really nice bassline. Edit - that was cuddly toy Edited January 3, 2015 by 40hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I had to learn a 36.5 bar bass solo for this song, cycling through three different key signatures and two time signatures which I forgot to transcribe or record. EDIT: Apparently that was just the bridge in Cuddly Toy. No wonder it didn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ooh, I'd forgotten just how good they were. Thanks for reminding me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billfaro Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi all. I think Roachford was a bit underrated, done some brilliant stuff, they were big in the 80s then just seem to vanish. But Andrew is now with http://mikeandthemechanics.com/ has been for a while, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I agree, I thought he was a very good songwriter, and never achieved the heights he maybe deserved. Not having a pop at the OP, but these sort of songs should be easy to jam out and work out by ear, if we are talking bass. Just chart the chords for a simple format of V, ch and bridge..etc etc Useful skill to build on for all sorts of tracks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I hadn't heard that song before. It's not really my thing, but I definitely detected a hint of Phil Lynott style phrasing in his vocal delivery. Which is nice.

billfaro Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Roachford was on Radio 2 with Jonnie Walker talking about his life, He said he was quite happy about not being in the mega stardom thing. He seemed to be an OK guy. OK I will listen to the song and try to work it out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Had to learn this recently for a friend's party. There's no tab anywhere, but there are lots of YouTube bass covers. This one was useful and depending your orientation, pretty cute http://youtu.be/yG9K9Bm3weE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Andrew still tours regularly and has a phenomenal drummer. Puts on a fantastic show - if you've never seen him live then you have to. Ticket prices are usually around the £15-20 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] JT I'll get my coat. You're right. I saw the Partridge vid under the OP and my cheese & port Christmas brain jumped straight in. (Cuddly Toy is a better song though..)

billfaro Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Aye all. it's the right song but tabs for a six string. My god i find it hard with only four strings. Anyway i will[s] prceve. prcivier pirciver [/s]get stuck in and learn to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Saw The Christians at The Hammersmith Odeon in '88 I think and Roachford were the support band. That gig was value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
