Soul transcriptions

Holla folks,

Looking for some help with a few (slightly less well known?) soul classics, and wondered if anyone in BC-land had had a bash at these in recent times? Transcriptions for preference, as I’m making a somewhat belated attempt to improve my reading skills!

Take a Letter Maria - R.B. Greaves
B-A-B-Y - Carla Thomas
Let Me Be Good to You - Carla Thomas

Any other recommendations for non-standard Soul/R&B classis that are worth investigating would also be much appreciated.

Cheers.

We play B-A-B-Y in our soul band. It's quite easy to learn from the track. It's in Eb then modulates to E at the end.

Dr Love Power by Ann Peebles is a good track for the bass - and has a nice horn part too:

I can only imagine the amount of time the guy has spent writing them all out.[/quote]

Wow, what a goldmine. Just goes to prove that there's no obsessive like a French obsessive.

Hi Ben, yep Pierre's site is real goldmine of great basslines to pick and choose from & I've been visiting it on a regular basis for a while.

Paul - cheers for the recommendation, what a great track. I'll definitely have to try and get that one worked into the set.

Cheers.

Thanks for this, got to be in contention for best site ever!

My better half isn't going to get that living room painted for a little while now...
