TKenrick Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Last week mostly involved me learning 60ish tunes for an audition - the bulk of them were fairly uninspiring, but a couple stood out due to some nice bass work. I thought I'd post them here for those who want some fresh reading material. 1. Beyoncé - 'Deja Vu' The thing that caught my ear about this was the contrast between the catchy 2 bar vamp and the high register fill at the end of the verses (good ledger line reading practice!). Some nice lines in the prechorus as well. [attachment=63641:Deja_Vu.pdf] 2. Cee Lo Green - 'Forget You' Really simple verse groove, the real highlight for me is the bridge, which has some nice Motown licks in there (the first bar of the bridge reminds me of 'Bernadette', the fill over the D7 in bar 7 is pretty much stolen straight from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons 'December 1963') [attachment=63642:Forget_You.pdf] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks for that I'm going to have a play with the Cee Lo Green one, but I'll risk getting into trouble with the missus as the kids are bound to sing along using the original lyrics rather than the radio version.
