Today's transcription is Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" with John Taylor

Some Latin music Poncho Sanchez - Short Dog |Tony Banda

The latest addition to my website is a bass transcription for Olivia Dean's "Be My Own Boyfriend" with Finn Zeferino-Birchall on bass. Another gem from the UK.

A typical 80s US pop track. Abe Laboriel laying down the groove in this one. Sheena Easton - Strut

I went to a demo with Willis at a local music shop. He's one of those players that says: "I never practice, I just play XX hours a day" 🙄

Ronnie Baker was a key figure in shaping "The Sound of Philadelphia" during the late 1960s and 1970s, contributing to numerous hits. https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=1044

Absolutely not. I wish I had had those when I was learning to read music.

Marvin Gaye - Distant lover 28 James Jamerson transcriptions! 17x Marvin Gaye. 6th from the "Let's get it on" album.

Lots of personal preferences. I also write what works best for me on stage. I like to see the structure of the song immediately. The key signature gives me a basic hand positioning, etc.. I'm pretty sure the repeat is exactly the same here. I will have another listen. I don't use repeats either if there's more than 1 note different.

A bass transcription of Curtis MayField's "Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here" from the "Short Eyes" album with Joseph "Lucky" Scott is now online.

Still one of my favourite UK artists. Elli Ingram - Growing Pains

Sade performed 'Be Thankful For What You Got' live in Japan back in 1986. The track is originally by William DeVaughn, featuring Ronnie Baker on bass (also on my website). Sade - Be Thankful For What You Got | Paul S. Denman

I have a few of those. Frustrating... I once contacted the guitarist of the band Fates Warning for help. I don't remember his reply, but in essence it was "I don't feel like it". The drummer never replied.

Malcolm Foster, known for his work with The Pretenders, joined Simple Minds as a session bass player in 1989 and remained with the band until 1995. Simple Minds - See The Lights | Malcolm Foster

Positive vibes with Rare Earth's "I Just Want to Celebrate" (John Persh). A joy to listen to and play along with.

For those who appreciate the classics, a bass transcription of 'Where Is the Love' by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway is now online.

Another one from Philadelphia International. The O'Jays - Give the People What They Want | Anthony Jackson

I was at PukkelPop (one of the biggest music festivals in Belgium) in 1993. I don't remember who was on the main stage, but I found it extremely boring. So, I went to the other stages and I heard this band that was so completely different than what I had heard until then. I immediately went to that stage and heard the last 3 songs of their set The energy! I immediately bought both albums. Saw them again in '94.

It's getting crowded between those sheets! 😀 Fourplay - Between the sheets Vocals by Nathan East & Chaka Khan

Here are the sheets! 😀 The Isley Brothers - Between The Sheets | Marvin Isley

I always thought the title was "Between the sheets" 🙃 Amy Winehouse - Between the cheats | Salaam Remi

Toto's cover of 'Sunshine of Your Love,' originally by Cream. The odd time signature adds a unique twist—always fascinating to see how different artists interpret classics! Bass: Mike Porcaro https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=1032

And now... for something completely different! written by Richard Marx Vixen - Edge of a broken heart | Share Pedersen

It took me quite a while to appreciate Haslip. That changed after transcribing some of the Gino Vannelli tracks. I should finish my Yellowjackets transcriptions...🙄 Thank you for the transcription(s)!

Another one from the "Beyond the Missouri Sky" album. Double bass solo included. Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny - The Moon Song
