E_MaN Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I really fancy learning a tapping piece atm, something sounding like Jean Baudin although I only have a 4 string at the moment. Any ideas guys? If anyone says moonlight sonata though I'll rip your heads off Quote

3V17C Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 always thought this was quite nice: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg[/url] peace c Quote
Dood Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 How about a challenge and pick a piece yourself? Something like a piano / keyboard thang, that you can split the left and right hand with. A pop song? I was messing about with Chasing Cars by that ther' Snow Patrol outfit, the otherday. A well known tune with 3 simplistic parts (bass, melody and the little guitar part).. I didn't spend a great deal of time on it, but could be effective tapped. Quote

I remember George signing up to Bassworld ages ago, after I dropped him a mail. Nice playing! Quote
bnt Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) You could look in to Stuart Hamm, perhaps. I wonder how many bassists have tried [i][url="http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Ei-ZFttsQ"]Linus & Lucy[/url][/i] since he did it years ago? Here's one example: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ldfZqfbTZbo"]http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=ldfZqfbTZbo[/url] (No, it's not me, my Tune bass is only a 4-string) Edited October 19, 2007 by bnt Quote

I ended up writing a 6-7 minute piece last night anyways, simple but melodic which I quite like. I've taken to the idea of transcribing two parts from a song or something, I was thinking of something like Shape of my Heart by Sting, what d'ya think? Quote
Alun Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 A good choice. Stuart Clayton does a good version of it... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV58amI1vLU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV58amI1vLU[/url] Cheers, Alun Quote

ARGH Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Shape of my heart can be played on a 4 string with barely any tapping anyway. Quote
