Jodie Bass Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Merry Xmas Basschatters! Thought I'd share a quick arrangement of "Christmas Time Is Here" by Vince Guaraldi Trio, taken from the incredible "A Charlie Brown Christmas" album. Always loved Guaraldi's contrast of sweet melodies against unusual harmonies so thought I'd have a go at transcribing a piece finally! Have a great Xmas when it comes, all! 7 1 Quote
rollie 55 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 excellent and a merry christmas to you Quote
spongebob Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I watch CBC every year. Love it. Due a watch tomorrow as it's Christmas Eve. I was playing around with the soundtrack last night. Vince Guaraldi was a genius. He was immensely proud of his Charlie Brown work and rightly so. He had a good voice as well....witness 'Little Birdie' and one of my favourites, the totally legendary 'Joe Cool'! 😎 Quote
spongebob Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Would love to see this tab'd or a how to video. I'd be really keen to play this! 😀 Quote

Coincidentally I'm working through how to arrange pieces for solo bass with some of my students at present, so this will tie in nicely with that! I'll get on it and keep you posted 1 Quote
StickyDBRmf Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 HA! Sleeper Alert! Great rendition, GREAT TUNE (TOON), Great Composer, the whole album is bitchin', and yes, I remember the first time it was on and watch it every year! And it's the only Christmas tune I know on Stick. Quote
