BassMan94 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 hi guys just wondering has anyone tabbed out or tried tabbing the licks. I've got 2 licks down, just time consuming isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 There is a booklet in with the video with a load of the licks transcribed. It's a bad video though,to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seeing the Jeff Berlin one as well was an eye opener , colutia on drums , gambale on guitar . Great memories . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I love watched Louis Johnson play, he smacks the hell out of his bass! Genuinely fantastic player. Always loved 'Get On the Floor' of Jacko's Off the Wall (ignore the terrible haircuts!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwCzTo20d18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 LJ is great but not one to follow as his style is very much his own..plus he beats his hands up so much that you'll be storing up so much trouble for them later, IMV But sure, his work with Quncy Jones' production house was defintive of the time, pretty much.

Agree with Doddy - not a great video (the Alexis Sklarevski one is much better IMO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
