Warning! Totally Outrageous and Idle Request!, Lazy lazy lazy lazy...:-) Not sure that helped your yourself at all. Reading this post, makes me think you could Do with some basic theory under your belt. Where the notes lay, scales etc. Also as you said yourself... Wasteing time learning/going over songs on a Tascam. Not sure that is wasteing time.. What better source of ear training than that? There is no easy way... Just hard work and a good [b]attitude[/b]. Unless i have missed something. Garry

Aint nobody, was a Rufas and Chaka Khan tune..not a solo CK tune. I'm Every Woman was also Rufas and Chaka..so would have been played by there Regular Bass player [ who ever that was..a Boogie Oogie Google should find him] When she left that band and went solo.... Jimmy Haslip and Anthony Jackson did plenty of stuff with her. Jackson mainly The Studio stuff, and Haslip the Road stuff. So tis possible any live stuff from Chaka just after The Rufus Band stuff would be Jimmy Haslip. Kiwi... A small quote about Aint Nobody. 'This was the last chart single for the group before lead singer Chaka Khan (born Yvette Stevens) left for a solo career. On this track, she sings about a man who makes her feel so good, that no other can come close. Producer Quincy Jones wanted this for Michael Jackson's Thriller album, and almost got it. Rufus keyboardist David Wolinski wrote the song. The group didn't like it but recorded it anyway. It was released as a single when Wolinski threatened to pull it off the album and give it to Jackson and Jones. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above) When Rufus was being formed, they rejected guitarist Roger Linn because he didn't sing, but this was one of the first songs ever written to the beat of Roger's invention - [b]the LM-1 Drum, the world's first programmable, sampled-sound drum machine. In this case the machine was used to create the keyboard loop. John Robinson played live drums and overdubbed the fills. [/b](thanks, Massimo - New York, NY, and Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)' Garry

Tis a nice looking Bass... Even matches the Wallpaper.. Garry

[/quote] And you did say right at the top post.. 'This IS A MILLION years old'... Been fun reading though.. Especially the reply.. 'Jaco's a legend [ supposedly ]' Pure first class bollox..it dont get any better than that. Garry

Donkeys years ago i went to Music collage in the states.... And the advice i was given for the audition was.. Try to show some Musicianship.. Rather than just a Bass chops merchant with stick on ears.. [ And at the time i proberly was both ] Whatever you do try and make it sound musical. A chordal arrangement of a tune is usually good for that. Good luck, with whatever you do. I am sure it will be fine. Garry

If it's anything that could be described as "Jazz" or its kiddy-fiddling cousin "Fusion", then I'm setting fire to my face.[/quote] You might need to buy a Zippo on your way home. Good stuff though.

Welcome Paul, From Cockney boy now living in Canvey. Garry

Both... The options for work will be greater. Also when reading you really do need to listen to the other players. It helps so you are all phrasing together. Garry
