leftybassman392 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Anybody out there got a transcription of the bass line for this song? I've been asked to learn it for a Jazz Fusion project and don't have the time to transcribe it myself. I'd be hugely grateful to anyone who has a version - actually a chord chart would do as I could work out the rest from there. Failing that I'd be happy if I could get my hands on a published copy - is it in any of the Real Books? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 This is a wonderful piece. I am on the verge of transcribing it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I THINK its in here but am not 100% sure. I will check tonight and let you know. If it is, it will be the guitar part but it will have the chords etc so may get you through.

I'm not completely sure about the triplet figure in bar 13, but apart from that it seems good. I've put a turnaround at the end if you want to repeat it. Apart from that the basic groove is pretty straightforward (if very fast!) in Am (or possibly Dorian - haven't finished that yet ) with what sounds like an E7#9 turnaround - let me know what you think. Also, I haven't looked at the intro yet - if you have then you may care to share...? Here's the main riff:- [attachment=40637:tipatina__s_riff.pdf] Later edit - the turnaround is actually pretty redundant, but now that I've posted it...

I found a partial source on t'internet and worked from that. I think I have the main theme pretty much sorted, and the groove sounds pretty straightforward. Could do with the intro though...

Mike Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Cool, thanks, I'll take a look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The chart IS in the Stern book I have but it is a guitar part and the intro presented is only Stern's part not the bass (which I recall is a lovely conterpoint high up the neck).
