rasher80 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Right then. My problem is thus - i learned the guitar and then bass using tab books etc and have never learned standard notation (i know, i know! ) I happened upon this guy on YouTube doing a bass cover of Jamerson's line on Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone by Gladys Knight and The Pips, and it's one of the best lines i've heard (IMO). I managed to get hold of the guy's transcription but it's in standard notation and i haven't got a clue where to begin! Anyone want to help me out? You can listen to the cover here [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myn5KD0_9Kk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myn5KD0_9Kk[/url] Cheers! Edited February 27, 2009 by rasher80 Quote

rasher80 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Hmm, ok that might help! i'll give it a go. It's not a really difficult line it's just i can't make out where he's going in a few places! Cheers PS if anyone wants to give it a go and is a proper musician, i have the standard notation available as a PDF. please PM me if you want it... Suits you sir! OOH! Quote
Eight Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 If you're really stuck - really really stuck - and noone else can help... then I could give this a shot for you. My skills on bass suck, but I can read notation and might able to produce some tab from the pdf you have. Quote
