The Cage Song is 120 bars odd of rests. Depending on what tempo you play it at. If you're going to be so bloody pedantic, you could bother to check your facts. It is in 4/4 time at 60 beats per minute, so 76 bars long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is for guitar, not bass 🤔 Can't you just play the notes on the lower strings and drop down the octave for those wee fills higher up? I've had a crack at it and it sounds OK, but it's definitely easier on the five-string, especially those octave jumps from low C# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Well. After giving it a few listens through, I've decided it's too difficult for me. I'm out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 You might be able to find some youtube clips on how to play this. Maybe its beyond some people's skills. Who am i to judge others ? 😂 I'd be happy to send you my notes on it. Dave 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all in the fingers. You cant play this with a pick. Its one of the few songs that can be played left-handed when you are right handed with the bass inverted to have the G string at the top. Does that help ? Dave 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a really weird slap style and i always wondered how you managed to do that . I do have to point out that he's not Right Handed tho so would probably struggle playing 4'33" altho he does have a flying start with the correct bass. 😂 Dave Edited October 25, 2021 by dmccombe7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well I’ve just heard a song on the radio that I’m not really familiar with, that I could play after 1 listen, I even anticipated the little walk up to some the notes , the song was , pearls the singer by elkie brooks, so @TimR is right 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work here is done. 😁 You can probably play the same bass line to Linving Next Door to Alice. A song I'd never heard before having to play it on the fly in a working man's club about 20 years ago. They went absolutely crazy over it. Guess we must have played 20 verses and an encore. Never played it since. Maybe I should learn it properly.
