I have seen him live a couple of times over in Paris. Just playing in a quintet doing standards. He knows his way around changes very well, Not just noodling [No fusion licks there] Not a fake book in sight [ Dont see that very often these days in small gigs] I dont think a lot of the videos going around these days do him any justice. He must be doing something right, gets a lot of work. I can not see him doing a day job for a while.. Garry

But without hearing i cant be sure. Anyway should get you started. I think the middle section is just around G minor, F and Eb...

All i know about this Bass, 3/4 size, From China, I have had it 7 years from new. [u]Issues[/u][b][/b] Neck has at somepoint has started to come away from Body. This has not stopped me using it.... But of course has resulted in higher / heavier action..[ good for me , but not a novice ] A couple of small chips on the body, but nothing major. The neck could be reset by yourself if you know what you are doing. But i would suggest going to a repairer, then you could have a good set up. Not sure the cost of this, but not a major job. This would be a good starter upright, or if you are still finding your way about. [u]£100.00[/u] Can do Paypal. And would have to be picked up... Or maybe i could meet..[ not sure about that yet ] Welcome to try at any time. I am at Canvey Island, Near Benfleet Essex.

[quote name='2wheeler' post='257758' date='Aug 8 2008, 07:49 AM']With due respect to my esteemed colleagues who have uploaded transcriptions, the rhythmic structure of the bass line is a 3/2 Latin clave diminished to one bar. So each bar is based on: dotted quaver, dotted quaver, crotchet, quaver, crotchet Then there are embellishments on top of that (rests and extra notes) but that's more down to feeling it at the time, I would argue. I would wait and see what the drummer is up to before adding too much of that. Lincoln Goines and Robby Ameen have put together a great book called "Funkifying the Clave" about the mechanics of afro-cuban rhythms, including how they influence rock and pop. You don't have to work your way through the book to play Valerie tonight but it's a good one to add to the collection and it is very relevant here so I couldn't resist a little plug [/quote] Yep that is a great Book and a must...... I have the first edition complete with Cassette tape... My chart reference was to 'OTPJ', and that it was in 4/4. It has a heavy snare back beat on 2 and 4 so being a pop/soul tune was in 4/4. 4 Stick counts at start , but of course that could be read as 'One two.two two' Then making it....................... [attachment=11779:img040.jpg] I think you might be over complicating a p**s easy pop tune , sung by a raving Drug ridden, Gin sodden old looking trout [ who sings great when she is sober.. ] Garry

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='257502' date='Aug 7 2008, 07:24 PM']Hi Garry, I think you're right there. It does vary a little in places. I was mainly going for the bones of the piece so that Mewsie could get through it for her audition. Not bad for a 30 minute takedown, though [/quote] Sorry mate, I was not bone picking... As it happens its good to see people putting up charts...good one! In fact it might be a good idea for a thread... [Like the groove loops thing] Then we could all help each other out.. Might have to change the odd note though... Not sure how you would stand with the copyright thing ? Garry

I think beat two is anticipated with a 16'th note, same as the bass drum pattern. As someone pointed out before... Its the Bo Diddley Rhythm with a few ghosties here and there, And a bit swingey Need to click on pic. Garry

Post-gig "hangover" symptoms (not booze-related!)

Hangover I have a 3 & half year old lad who wakes up at 7 every morning, Thinking he is sporticus from Lazy town I have no time to think about the day before! Its all about the day ahead Stay positive....! Rock & Roll man.................. Garry -
Mark... I think you need to give a bit more info.. What sound card? Is Audacity set right...? Connections...? What are you monitoring through..? 16 bit / 24 bit...? I see you are in Essex as well....where? And you might be a Hammers fan? Garry

[quote name='Soulfinger' post='250541' date='Jul 29 2008, 04:17 PM']Monk Montgomery started playing electric in 1953, more than seven years before the Jazz Bass was introduced. With Wes, he played a P, plucking with his thumb. Later in his career, he did indeed switch to a J - and it sure sounds like he´s using a pick here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI3lhVYQGXk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI3lhVYQGXk[/url][/quote] Just looked at my original statement..... No where does it state that he used a Jazz bass in 1953.. Just that he played a Jazz bass with a pick. Garry

I have been doing some Rat Pack corporate stuff of late with quite a big band, And doing it on electric does not seem to be a problem with them. Garry

[quote name='The Funk' post='249826' date='Jul 28 2008, 05:59 PM']Easiest way around latency = mixer.[/quote] Or an Audio card with direct monitoring. I use an RME card with Cubase sx3 and do not have the problen. Cubase compensates for latency automatically, [VST'S] Or you can input this manually for Audio after doing the latency test. This free utility will calculate your latency. Then you can manually input the offset yourself. [url="http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=3196"]http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=3196[/url] There is a thread about latency issues on cubase.net [url="http://www.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=743875&highlight=&sid=105b6b4c6181eb48e094558f28f363c9"]http://www.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php...094558f28f363c9[/url] Garry

Just following on from something Bilbo said in another post. 'PLECTRUM PLAYING' Monk the the brother of Wes Montgomery was a great swing Electric Bassist, Using a pick and his Jazz bass. Any arsed horn player who is only good at blowing himself, who says 'you cant swing on electric' should take a listen to this. [ Bock to Bock ] A bit layed back. But goes into 4's at about 1-40 [url="http://www.last.fm/music/Wes+Montgomery/_/Bock+to+Bock"]http://www.last.fm/music/Wes+Montgomery/_/Bock+to+Bock[/url] Monk is a bit forgotten nowdays. Garry

Thats Really sad, The best gig i heard him play, Was with Sanborn in the mid 80's at Wembley arena. Marcus miller and Steve Gadd in the Band. And they were just the support act! Garry

[quote name='Alun' post='12000' date='Jun 4 2007, 07:13 PM']+1. His lines are great fun to play. Ewan Vernal (spelling?) from Deacon Blue - lots of great playing, especially on lesser known tracks Graham Maby with Joe Jackson - especially the live version of "Fools In Love" Winston Blissett - UK session player Steve Pearce - another great sessioner and from the upright jazz world, some great UK players - Paul Morgan, Jeff Clyne and Roy Babbington - all worth investigating. Cheers, Alun[/quote] You can add Trevor Barry and Andy Pask to the Uk list. Garry
