dmccombe7 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Is this the John Cage version ? I struggled with the bass tab on that one. Dave Edited October 22, 2021 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I struggled to hear this when i did my youtube search. Its quite a forgiving bassline at the start but it fades into the background the more you hear it. Have to say i was rather taken aback by the lacklustre ending. Its a style i've been trying to learn for many years and been so disappointed by my own results.

Dave Never mind the bass player's role in this, it's the guitarists you need to feel sorry for. Imagine - a guitarist remaining silent on stage for over four minutes ? Just about impossible. Most guitarists start getting twitchy around the two minute mark, and then by three minutes they lose control completely and can't resist having a quick widdle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thing about this tune is it easy to transpose, you know incase the singer cant be silent in tune on the high notes.

Newfoundfreedom Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Six string bass. You can tell by the way that the low B and high C aren't played in unison with the other strings which aren't played.

Bit scary with Halloween time coming up soon. 😂 Now that i see it in bass notation it becomes a lot clearer. Not sure why i was so worried about learning this song. Looks pretty easy when you see it laid out like that @ubit Think i'll play this tomorrow night for first time in Glasgow with the Glam Rock band after 18mths silence. (nice wee gig advert slipped in there) Right i'm away to learn it. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 The fans used to boo up until we played this. They wanted this one all night. They loved it and always gave their biggest cheer when we launched into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 43 minutes ago, ubit said: Heres one for the pedantic ones Dave I see this is the Ames Trapezoid version of the tab. You can tell because it's the version that sails past people and goes right through them - seemingly impossible at the time, but logical once you get your head around it. I recommend cutting it out, attaching to very thin card, and then suspending on string so it can be rotated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) We tried it with the Wirebirds, but the harmonica player could only manage the first 20 seconds before raising the infernal instrument to his lips. To be fair, it took several weeks of rehearsal to get him that far. Edited October 22, 2021 by FinnDave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
