@dmccombe7: thank you, very much the same thoughts. Now I am in a happy situation that the band I play most uses scores a lot (practically everyone reads). I even find tabs a bit complicated to use.

And all thanks to our Rob.

Another Al Di Meola guitar transcription, this is his arrangement of the Beatles tune 'In My Life' from his 2013 album, 'All Your Life: a tribute to The Beatles'. It is only a partial transcription as a second guitar comes in half way through and I was only interested in the solo element so I stopped. I thought I would post it on here anyway rather than leave it sat there doing nothing.

I have wanted to get something like this down for so long but it is really hard to catch it. Moises and Transcribe@ helped but this was still really challenging. This is my interpretation of the complete Ricardo Lugo bass part for the tune 'El Leon' from the 2006 Paoli Mejias album, 'Transcend'. I know you were all waiting eagerly for this one.... Seriously, this one will more for study and there aren't many of us that could sight-read read this kind of thing.

A hint of tempo might give a better view to what's coming up. The bass part itself doesn't look that bad but after listening to the song I really understand the issues mentioned.

I find it hard to make chart like this settle when the tempo is so fierce. The difference between two sixteenth notes is tiny and easy to flunk.
