[quote name='chaypup' post='1159054' date='Mar 12 2011, 10:29 AM']When a bass guitar is in different tuning, it's still in concert pitch! You're merely changing the note that is produced with an open string, not what key the instrument is in. Tabs, would change, for sure, but there would be no diffrence in the way a score was written surely? EDIT: Have now read what you were referring to - essentially we were saying the same thing! Sorry...... [/quote] When you change the tuning of a bass it's not in concert pitch any more (e.g. when the player reads a C a B is sounded) so you have to compensate by changing the key of the written music. Here's an example: [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/se/ID_No/50205/Product.aspx"]get the funk out[/url] [url="http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqP76XWHQI0"]youtube[/url] P.S. The excess naturals in do I do are from writing in B and auto transposing to C without proofing.

Quite a lot of mistakes in that transcription though, chords are wrong too. Also, when transcribing for a de-tuned instrument, the notes/key should be written as played, not as sounded. i.e. the score should have been written in C so you could still read it on a transposed instrument. (If you de-tuned your bass and read the notes, your first note would be a Bb) This version is much better (but incomplete and very raw/unpolished): [attachment=74596:DO_I_DO.pdf] Also they got the slap riff at the end wrong, here's a correct version: [attachment=74597:DO_I_DO_Slap_Riff.png]

I've got this if it's any good to you. Joe [attachment=73690:FIREWORK.pdf]

Just finished up this. Some mad two-handed tapping! [attachment=70157:Vix_9.pdf] Enjoy.

Hi, Here's a partial Marie Ael transcription that I'm never gonna finish, so I'll post it here, warts 'n all. Cheers, Joe.

Hi guys, I thought I'd share some Hadrien feraud licks I've been working on. They are from this video: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYPLJn6-xoQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYPLJn6-xoQ[/url] Scary stuff.

Here's a transcription of the slap riff towards the end of the tune. [attachment=56834:DO_I_DO_Slap_Riff.png] Joe.
