phil.c60 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Does anyone have a transcription or any guidance on the main bass parts for the Buffalo Springfield version of Mr Soul? My ears are not as sharp as they might be, and the only recordings i can find are quite muddy. Plus learning things purely by ear is not my strongest skill by long chalk! Not expecting all the flowery bits and passing notes, but a bit of guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The intro to this tune reminds of the intro to Jumpin' Jack Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Okey doke... the kids are occupied for 10 minutes, so here's an approximation of the bass part.. and it is only that!) Sorry it's not particularly accurate or thorough, but hopefully it's enough to get you started. Bruce Palmer was a fairly unorthodox player, so some of his note choices are a bit off-the-wall. For the main riff he plays something like: D | D | A | G# | C | C# | D Hope this helps... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syyLBSFm2pg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 ...and yes, before someone points it out, if I learned to read music or at least TAB I could explain it more clearly. It's a fair cop :-) .....and I've just remembered the solo / middle 8. I'll have a look later if I think on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
