my comment was supposed to be funny. NY has been my favourite since I heard his first album in 1969. I don't like his later stuff. I have tabbed hundreds of songs, and only use the published stuff as a basis. It's just this one didn't make sense. Why don't we issue tabs on here ?

so just to clarify, I choose either of the two music scores which are both different, guess what key it is in 'cos it may or may not be the first note, pick a note to work out, follow the five bar gate thingy to the left to see if it's got a flat or a sharp on it, check the actual note hasn't got another flat or sharp or neutral next to it to change the first one, then play the note one semitone lower. It's so obvious I don't know why I had to ask.

thank you all very much. It makes sense now

I have attached the 1st page of each Alabama in F.pdf Alabama in D flat.pdf

Neil Young - Alabama. I have the sheet music from 30 years ago, in the key of F, with 1 flat, B, which is correct. This only gives the lead guitar music. The first three notes / chords are F, G, E. The bass mainly follows the chords, and I have those. But in places it does some runs, and I thought I would buy the sheet music with a bass line. Unfortunately, this is in the key of D flat, with 5 flats. The first note it shows is a G, which with a flat is a G flat, or F sharp. The chord it shows for this is an F, with an F chord diagram, but with a note underneath saying G flat. It also says at the top - Guitar - capo 1. Could someone please tell me how to transpose to F.

I have two jokes I would like to add. Could someone please tell me how to put a .mov file and a WMV file on here ?

I like the band name

whereabouts are you ?

thank you all.I'll hopefully let you know what happens

do you know which part of Cornwall ?

We are moving from Hampshire to either north Devon or north Cornwall. Not quite sure where yet. I miss playing so much and need to get in a band when we move. Anyone know what the music scene is like 'down there' ?

I still have my Framus Star bass, given to me by my double bass playing Dad in September 1963 for my 13th birthday. It was secondhand when he bought it. Taught myself to play, and played in a few groups in the 60's. Still sounds nice, although the varnish is cracking a bit on the back of the neck.

Is this one ok ?

the back has some routing out as well. It balances quite well, 'cos i now put the strap on the bolt on the front instead of the normal place

just trying to help

This Hagstrom has always been a bit heavy

ok, maybe some of those suggestions are not too bad. Especially Stevie Wonder's. They remind me of some Sly and the Family Stone bass lines.

How about - Jethro Tull, Living in the past
