Beedster Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone got a good one? Having heard Brother Jones play a cracking version on my 'ray t'other day, I'm itching to give it a go Thanks Chris Quote
Hamster Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I don't have a tab, but because of the number of requests Norman recorded his bassline for us all to download and copy. It must therefore be the 'definitive' version. 99% of tabs I've seen are wrong.

Beedster Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks mate. Slight problem though - when I open the page I just get a black screen with 'Norman Plays Rhythm Stick' in the corner and no sound. Am I being stupid? Chris Quote

sgt-pluck Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) I found this one quite useful too. Still struggle to nail it consistently at full tilt though!

Guess what.... it includes the tab. I didn't spot that as I was reading the dots.

Bass-ic Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I am enjoying learning this, couldn't be happier. Its going to take weeks, but hey! Cheers Matt Quote
Beedster Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks so much everyone, what a comprehensive multimedia response, probably enough material above to write a PhD thesis on the bassline in question Quote
Bass-ic Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Actually, its thanks to you guys, without whom (plus checking out how people actually play the line on you tube) i wouldn't have this at all! woop! Matt Quote
stevie Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Why on earth in A flat? I haven't tried this (yet), but surely A, with those lovely open strings, would have been easier. Quote
Sean Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Cheers for the transcription posting. Just found a couple of things on it that might be worth pointing out... in bar 2 after the F to Ab hammer on the Bb hammers on to C before the Eb staccato sixteenths. Anyone else hear this?

Marcus Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Hi Guys, this helped me get the gist of what was going on..... still can't play it full speed mind !! [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OK2PhJm_eMg&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OK2PhJm_eMg&...feature=related[/url] Quote
