Simon. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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.

Paultrader Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pd7Z9anIZ0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pd7Z9anIZ0[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTunnicliffe Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Have you checked out this website? [url="http://freebasspart.pv24.pagesperso-orange.fr/Bass_Players.htm"]http://freebasspart.pv24.pagesperso-orange...ass_Players.htm[/url] I can only imagine the amount of time the guy has spent writing them all out. Hope that helps, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
