Need help transcribing

Hello fellow Bassists, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I am doing a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers jam in Argentina 1999. I am however stuck on one part, I can't translate this little part from guitar to bass. Flea is basically playing a long with John.


E|----------------
B|-----5------3---
G|---5------4-----
D|----------------
A|----------------
E|-5------3-------

I know the rest, but what would that be on bass?

Thanks!!

they are partial A and G barre chords (in that order)

Are they not more like bits of Am and C barre chords? ;)

The actual notes are A, C & E and G, B & D... :)

Thats right of course.... must get some specs sorted!

The first barre could be major or minor as written
The second could be a C minor with G bass,maybe?

Sorry if my post sounded terse, there should have been a couple of smileys in there matey! Fixed now :)

The notes played are the 1, 3, 5 triad for each chord aren't they? ;)

No worries fella, no terseness detected here. I reckon G B D is the Gmajor triad so I'm sticking with my original thought :)

I just pcked up my guitar to check, and I'm now pretty sure its A (or more likely Am) and G major.

Am G, that's it, I think I was still half asleep when I looked at it earlier ;)

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. I posted this question on TalkBass.com and all I got was one reply saying "Figure it out yourself", obviously if I could figure it out myself I wouldn't ask, lol :)

So it is [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A, C & E and G, B & D. ? :)[/font][/color]
