Plus, I once got torn to pieces on here for suggesting Psycho Killer should be played using the open strings as Tina W does, so I'm not going there again. It's quite funny looking at Within You Without you on UG to see how earnestly people defend their fingering as being 'how Adam Clayton' does it because they can 'tell by the sound'. I notice that on the live at BBC video he plays it a semitone down and uses both the A and E strings (and looks completely bored). And that's probably one of the simplest basslines of all time...

Circa 1987 We used to play it in The Jump Jive Rhythm Five. Circa 1982. There were six of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 22 hours ago, Teebs said: I suggested to my covers band that we might try playing the songs the same as the original versions. No success. Good covers need to be either pretty close to the original, at least in feel but better in actual notes and arrangement. Or the band needs to successfully rearrange the whole song into a completely new and musically interesting version. Either way, talent and playing for the song not for oneself are required. IMHO of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Heard this on the radio and I’ve been dipping into the Bassline, a few of the covers I looked at didn’t sound quite right so I’m going with my ear, it’s quite good to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 I’ve tried a few times to play this but I’m struggling a bit as I can quite work out the notes, I think there’s lots of ghost notes in there, I’ve been through some YT videos but none sound quite right to me and lots of tabs are saying different things, if anyone can point me to a decent video or tab It would be muchos appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I checked to see if our @Bilbo had done this one but dont see it. There was someone else on BC that was doing VIDS with music tabs i saw their post recently might have done this one. I'll see if i can find his post. I did comment on it as it looked good. Its a youtube channel if i remember right. Dave Sorry @Reggaebass couldn't find it but did a search and found this bass TAB that might help. I did find a few VIDS on youtube without bass tabs that showed how they play it that might help.

Bilbo Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Not one I have looked at. I can do it if you want but not sure when I will be able to get to it. Plus, I don't do tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression he wasn't comfortable with some of the changes soi didn't include the vid. Plenty of good ones on Youube tho.

Much more interesting than I thought it would be.
