Great work!
What transcription software do you use? I'm guessing you were able to export the score as a video, which is a feature I've been wanting to use for a while!
I use Sibelius to transcribe the notation, I wish it could export the score as a video!!
I export the transcription as an XML file, import it into Soundslice and sync it to then sync from there. There’s a few more steps after that too. I might actually do a video on it. Would that be useful?

Good lord I've been playing that so badly 🤦🏼♂️
I was exactly the same man. That’s why I transcribed it. Such a cool line

This is an oldie, but seen as Daft Punk have now slip up, I’ll pop this up!

Awsome bass part from the Oceans Twelve soundtrack by David Holmes.
The notation PDF is available to download from my website https://www.groovetubebass.com/copy-of-audition-repertoire-page-2-1
Thanks for looking,

This is beautiful. Slightly out with my current budget though. You interested in a trade against a Aria traveler bass, or a Digidesign 003 desk/interface?

Do you mean triplet exercise? Triads are three note chords and you’re demonstrating 4-note arpeggios.
You got me.

I'd have preferred the dots to be scrolling across the screen rather than jumping from one side to the other. Made it pretty much unreadable for me.

Got asked to transcribe this for a student, such cool line by Corbin Jones.
Cool side note : Both Rachel and Corbin got in touch through my insta account to thank me for the transcription, Rachel also sent me the original studio scores. Really cool down to earth people and mega talented.
Thanks for looking

Bernard Edwards ripping it up on Chics "Everybody Dance". Played on my old Musicman Stingray - strings are a bit bright! Edwards used his thumb like a pick to get that nice percussive sound, I can't, so. I'm using a double thumb technique to mimic his style.
My transcription is attached below.

Speed is just accuracy and economy of motion. Tiny flaws in either get magnified the faster you go. IIRC Sing It Back isn’t a particularly fast song and has a lot of root-5-octave-9 type lines with some hammered-on 16th notes; however the bulk of it is just 8th notes. Are you struggling with the whole line or particular bits?
One of the best exercises I had was from Gary Willis, which is to practice reducing the pressure on the fretting hand (just practising on one note to start with), until it starts to buzz, then a tiny bit more pressure is actually all you need to fret the notes - and it’s almost guaranteed to be less pressure than you currently use. Less pressure makes everything easier. Piano players are taught to “squeeze” the keys rather than hammer them to improve both tone and dexterity.Regarding fretting and dexterity, a well setup bass with a reasonable and consistent action is a good starting place. Then as Doddy says, make sure you’re consistent - one finger per fret is the norm but there are caveats with that in the first few frets as you may risk problems with your hands, hence some players use the more upright technique of index, middle, little finger (with ring finger supporting) as it reduces the stretch across the hand and therefore the pressure on the tendons. I’m currently recovering/rehabilitating from cervical radiculopathy, which presents similar symptoms to carpal tunnel syndrome and it makes playing quite difficult, so look after your hands
Great advice
