Beedster Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Anyone got a tab to the above? Looks like we're gigging it in two weeks and having only heard the track once I might need a tab to get to grips with it. There's a few online but I have no idea whether they're any good so I'd be grateful if one of you guys could sterr me on this. On a seperate issue, the one day likely to be Mrs Beedster told me about the time she and her then boyfriend, a g**tarist, met Ben Harper in a pub in Canterbury and shared a night of serious boozing with the dude. I was quite impressed. Anyway, a year or so back we're watching 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown' and there he is, doing a couple of numbers. I said "bring back any memories?" and she looked a bit clueless. Turns out it was Roy Harper she went boozing with. I must admit, it's hard to tell them apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 After watching Ben Harper on the SITSOM film, I'd certainly have been surprised if anyone had said they'd had a good night out with the bloke. I love that film and watch it regularly, but for some reason always fast forward the bit where he speaks, and the following poor Marvin Gaye impersonation he gives.... He just comes across as way too serious and boring to me. I prefer the numerous bits where the old guys are having a lark about and giggling like school kids!

Sibob Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Steal Your Kisses is a groove-song man, have a listen, look at the (3) chords and play what you wanna play Juan plays some mean licks on it, but live he never plays it the same, great song to mess about with!

Amafi Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hey, I have this solo tabbed for a friend of mine, but I can send you it no probs if you still need it It is NOT from any crappy bass tablature on the Interwebs and is the solo which is on the Steal my Kisses single. Like SIbob says tho, that clever bugger Juan Nelson never plays it the same way twice..but it's still a cool solo and sounds great live. I'll leave the rest of the song to you, but if you want to check something against 'my' version then just reply here or email me.

Beedster Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Well we gigged it last night and I don't think I've ever blagged a bass part to that extreme in over 25 years of playing, a function of a) not having prepared fully and doing it on fretless! All this was made worse by the singer deciding to double the length of the bass break with no warning! Amazingly a few people came up to me afterwards and said they loved the bass line; I assume "loose and Jazzy" is a compliment Gonna do some work on it though as it's a real fun song to play Cheers for the above guys Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Glad to hear it went well, such a fun song to play, you can't really do anything wrong....it's that kinda groove This is a great live version of the song by the guys themselves (if you haven't seen it already), with an extended bass break Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 So, what bass do you reckon the now sadly departed Juan Nelson is playing on this track folks, thew tone escapes me on every instrument on which I've tried.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I had no idea he had died ☹️ this is one of my favourite bass lines ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Wasn't he playing MTD Basses around that time? I seem to remember him being pictured using them on the cover of Bass Player Magazine back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm not sure what bass he is using here but there's some great playing in the break down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I saw him play, he seemed to be on something j5 flavoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Whatever it is, I'd kill to get that tone. Interesting that live tone is nowhere near and very electric by comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thats the studio for you. In a studio, you can wrangle a bass tone to be almost anything you want! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
