With this tune I am finally up to date. this is the last one remaing to publish. a Rita Coolidge's song: I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT. a quite simple song but with some interesting fills like the one in bar 81. very good to practice reading shuffle

Today we have a novelty and that is that Lee plays twice the same song in the same video. The first time he missed a couple of spots and I guess that would take his dream away so he repeated the take. The song is one from Carole King that he played a long ago and in these two versions he changes the bass line quite a lot from the first one. the song is ONLY LOVE IS REAL and you can find here the two transcriptions.

Today we are back to James Taylor. Lee plays again DON'T LET ME BE LONELY TONIGHT. This time he plays quite a different version from the first one, but the spirit of the song remains intact.

Another Jacson Browne's song: THE FUSE. This transcription is a little long but plenty of interesting things in there. you can see as Lee plays 5ths altogether and he kind of gets the sound of a 5 string bass. there is a phrase that sounds as he was playing a fretless thanks to the slides he uses. and plenty of fills worth studying.

Today a Jackson Browne's tune: RUNNING ON EMPTY. It is a long transcription, with lots of different parts. For those who already have some level reading, this can be a good challenge.

In this video Leland plays a song he already played three years ago: Rita Coolidge's RUNNING ON EMPTY. in this ocasion he plays a totally diferent line. if you look in the archives and compare the two versions you'll see what I mean. nevertheless, the spirit of the song is kept perfectly and he places his fills almost in the same exact spots. is one of those few times when two diferent bass line fit perfectly in the same song and doesn't change it.

the last one of the songs from Linda Ronstadt. this is a good tune to practice the middle register of the instrument. please notice the fifths that Lee plays because sometimes it makes the illusion that he is playing a 5 string bass.

Second song from Linda Ronstadt: SAIL AWAY. In this line we can find lots of fills in a classic rock style. Very much recommended the study of this particular line.

These are the first exercices for a method I am currently developing. The point here is to tap the CLAVE with your foot and play the notes with your bass. These seem pretty basic, but don't be fooled. Never go for the next one until you feel really comfortable playing the exercise you are working and can feel naturally all the beats of the two bars. specially the downbeats

Change of artist. This is the first one from Linda Ronstadt: ALL MY LIFE
