tinyd Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Hi all - I was working through @geoffbassist's lesson on playing Chamber Mates with the bow - I found the rhythm a bit tricky so I had a go at transcribing the head. Here's the transcription if anyone's interested and please let me know if there are any mistakes as I'm no expert when it comes to dots. I posted this to the Theory forum as well but I took the liberty of posting here as it's a good example of something to play with the bow.

tinyd Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks @geoffbassist - it was just a quick job that I did while I was in the car waiting around for one of the kids. I'd like to try and transcribe a few choruses of the walking bass line next so I'll post that up if I get round to it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm very impressed that you can transcrbe by ear!! What a useful skill. I was looking for the chord chart to go with it, but neither the Real Book nor iRealPro have it. There's a whole book of them (transcriptions with chords) here though (at a price!): https://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/sheet-music/products/8129911--jim-stinnett-secret-chambers-a-comparative-analysis https://www.bassbooks.com/shopping/products/1054-secret-chambers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyd Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) @NickA, unfortunately I can't really claim the ability to transcribe by ear, I had a couple of great apps on my phone to help me - the first to slow down and loop the track and the second to enter the score (Audipo and Chaconne respectively). So it was "by ear" in the sense of not having a bass with me, but I needed to be able to loop a few times before I could get it. The tune itself is a standard Bb jazz blues so you should be able to play the melody over the one that's in iRealPro I think. TheJim Stinnett book looks great but it is pricey alright... Maybe a nice Xmas pressie to myself... Edited November 19, 2017 by tinyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
