Roachford.

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.

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

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.

[leschirons]

Ooh, I'd forgotten just how good they were. Thanks for reminding me.

[bubinga5]

that is a great record by the way. forgot about it.

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,

[JTUK]

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...

[Roland Rock]

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.

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.

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

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

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]

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.

[spectoremg]

Saw The Christians at The Hammersmith Odeon in '88 I think and Roachford were the support band. That gig was value for money.
