LemonCello Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So my band, me and my electric Cello want to do some ELO. I've already got a Piano reduction but want to avoid playing the bass piano part if I can as it differs from the string parts hugely. Does anyone know if the Cello parts were ever published?

SpondonBassed Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Interesting. Didn't Roy Wood perform those as one of the string section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Apropos of nothing... a while back I discovered that the grandad of one of my little boy’s chums was cello player in ELO. Left before all the big hits though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta, Gary Not sure if they have ever made t’internet TBH. My band is an ELO tribute, and our MD transcribed all the string parts from the original recordings I believe, so assume he couldn’t find them either! Not much help I’m afraid, but good luck in your quest! Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonCello Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Pete, thanks for the reply. A while back a tribute band called the Explosive Light Orchestra played quite near me, unfortunately I couldn't make it but heard they were top notch....not your band by any chance? Long shot I know, but I'd be willing to make a charitable donation (charity of your choice) of say £20 for the first cello part to Evil Woman and Ma Ma Belle?

casapete Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hey Gary, My band is called The ELO Experience. We play mainly theatres around the UK with the occasional festival / outdoor gig. Your charitable offer is very kind, but unfortunately it’s not my call, and the M.D. who wrote the parts is currently abroad whilst we’re on a break in our schedule. Hope you get sorted though, all the best, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) dunno if its any help but GProTab have it for a download. I use TuxGuitar to open it though as it's free. Edited September 14, 2018 by skidder652003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
