TheGreek Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 More prolific than I thought. Looked on Amazon and there are more than 10 albums - as with all "new" artists it's hard to know what to buy. In such cases YT is your friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I put the artist or song into Discogs , it’s quite handy for their history and a bit of info , then I see if it’s on YouTube for a listen 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumOne Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) The Hal Leonard 'Reggae Bass' book is an alright introduction/overview with play along tracks and notation, it's main problem is all the tracks are 'in the style of' and are just a couple of bars so I made a Spotify playlist with all the actual tunes: ....nothing most of you haven't already heard, but a good collection of classic bassline styles. Goes from Ska>Rocksteady>Reggae>2 Tone>Dancehall. (Dub seems to have been ignored). Edited October 20, 2021 by SumOne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that’s superb, I’ve had the book for years, I’ll dig it out again later, dancing mood is a great track 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notation throws me a bit as it's not exactly the same as the originals but it's usually just a note or two away (probably just far enough to not get involved with copyright). If I get enough time on my hands I'll transcribe the actual tunes. I got a blank music transcript pad a while back but it takes me ages to transcribe anything, I find it quite good practice for carefully listening and music reading though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too noticed the book wasn’t exact, I think it just gives you an outline, I tend to transcribe by breaking it down and listening very closely , I’ve had a few in the past where I wasn’t quite sure what notes were being played in a few parts, and I cheated and got someone to transcribe it for me 😁 what pad do you use SumOne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fewer staves and spiral bound would be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
