    Muse - 'Bliss' NOTATION / TAB Original bass: Chris Wolstenholme Transcribed this one for a student. I'd forgotten how fun some of the basslines are on those first few Muse albums. Took me right back to being 13 and just starting out! Transcriptions archive

    Having said I can't offer any advice, one thing that might help is avoiding open strings where possible. That way, everything is easier to navigate at first. Then when you're feeling more confident with where the notes are, open strings can come back into play.

    Hi, I often have the same problem in the opposite direction when I detune from E standard - my ears and my hands have a hard time syncing up at first. However, I think it does gradually start to make sense after a few minutes / hours. Sorry that I can't offer any real advice or hints, but seeing as you're dealing with the same intervals, it shouldn't be too much of a problem given some time!

    Thanks Chris!

    Des'ree - 'Life' Yup, it's the one with those terrible lyrics. Had to learn this for a first dance, and the original bass take has some fun moments. No idea who the player is though! If anyone has any intel, let me know. TAB | NOTATION Original bass: Uncredited Transcriptions archive

    I'm fairly sure Tim Commerford used BEAD tuning in the later days of Rage Against the Machine and then into Audioslave. I've always wanted to try it myself, but never had an excuse!

    Good for you for having an opinion. However, the OP asked a question about theory, and your response added nothing to the discussion in this context.

    Transcribed this a couple of years ago, decided to revisit today. That 16th-note fill in measure 10 (doubled with overdubbed xylophone) blows my mind. Maybe I'll get around to a playalong sometime. Vulfpeck - 'Welcome to Vulf Records' (tab & notation) Original bass: Joe Dart Transcriptions archive

    Because it is. It's mostly ok, but there's the odd moment when a phrase is rushed, pushing and pulling at the time in a very elastic way that throws you out of yourself.

    Needed to learn this for a gig; it has some nice bass moments in it, so I thought I should do a proper transcription. WHY IS IT ALWAYS PINO PALLADINO? Harry Styles - 'Watermelon Sugar' [notation / tab] Original bass: Pino Palladino Transcriptions archive

    Hi Petr, at the moment most of mine are intermediate, but I'll aim to get more beginner level videos out there asap!
