rasher80 Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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!

Eight Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
