Yes - that works. Thank you.

I had a very quick look at the Songster tab earlier today, and at the Chords on Ultimate Guitar. I must say, I was having trouble marrying the two together.

Aha! I hadn't seen that. Looks like it was published yesterday. Thanks for the link.

Aaah, yes - I see what you mean. Topic title changed.

Anybody got a tab for the bassline, please?

Just emailed the tab to you.

Hi, I'm not sure whether I sent you the bassline - apologies. Let me have your email address and I'll get it over to you.

Yep - Bb as last bar of Intro, verses, choruses, and definitely G# as last bar of bridge. Also, B (not G# as I originally had it) as last bar of chord sequence after the key change. I think I'm pretty much there now. Thanks to everybody.

Right - I've run it past Chordify a few times, I've re-read Terry M's and Burns-bass posts (thank you both), and I've tried to trust my non-musical cloth ears. This is what I've come up with so far. Three main things to check - 2nd bar in intro (Cm? Bbm?), Bridge chords, and last bar in chord sequence after the key change (G# or B?) Here goes - please be gentle - my music theory is very limited, as you'll see. Intro: |Cm |Bbm | F | G# G | Verses and chorus: | Cm |Cm |F | G# G | Bridge: |E | E |A |A |E |E |A |A |D |D |G |C# Thereafter: |C# |C# |F# |A G# |

Gracious me - that's extremely helpful. Can I just check the Intro; Chordify is suggesting Cm - Bbm - Fm - Ab/Bb. How does that look to you, please?

Aha! Thanks for that. It's a bit difficult to follow, since Chordify lags behind the song. Nevertheless, that's a big help.

Got to learn this, but I'm struggling - can't even find the chords on the web. Can anybody help, please? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk5yMt5jWpI

I've been talking to a guy about joining his "collective". Here's what he said in his first message to me. Seems a bit of an odd suggestion that "finding a soul/funk/groove influenced bassist has been like searching for the Holy Grail". "Hi there, Firstly it’s great to know that there is a Soul, Funk & Groove style bassist in the area, Most are Rock or blues influenced. I, and many of my musician friends have been looking to get a really good funky soul Band together for a while, without much success as decent bass players are very rare, And finding a soul/funk/groove influenced bassist has been like searching for the holy Grail." He'll be the band leader, lead singer and keys player. He's 63. I went to his house for a chat and he told me all about his extensive history of playing drums and singing going back as far as his teens. I asked if he has any video links he could send me. He said; " I don’t think I have anything from the digital era! I have a video, but haven’t transferred it to any other format. I can ask my daughter whether she knows of any phone footage of our performances, I have cd’s and tapes of demos and things like that, it’s not really something I’m into! Listening to myself or watching myself is not my idea of fun, I’m very critical, that’s the problem." Too many red flags?

Stumbled across this recently. Good fun cover of Fat Boy Slim's Praise you. Particularly like percussionist. Praise You (Fat Boy Slim acoustic cover) - YouTube.url Praise You (Fat Boy Slim acoustic cover) - YouTube.url

Yes - That's I think you're probably right. In reality, it isn't the alleged major change of musical direction that I (maybe/probably) wouldn't have been interested in that angered me, it's the sly and underhand way that I was replaced and ousted that grated my gears. For me, that's not an acceptable way of behaving in any walk of life. I've moved on, and I'm already talking to another band about possibly joining them.
