stuartielow Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hello, after a couple months plodding away on my own, I've been asked to join a band, yey! Thing is I've been given a list of songs to learn and although I've worked most of them out, I'm getting bassists block with a couple! Could anyone save me some time and tell me the notes/tab to animal nitrate by suede? Its like I can't hear the bass, weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozza Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I can't help with the tab but I think Suede tuned down to Eb so doing that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 [quote name='Fozza' timestamp='1369036121' post='2084043'] I can't help with the tab [/quote] Nor can I, but hopefully these chords from "Chordify" will help a little OP.

stuartielow Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thank you very much, the chords are a start, I only got list on Saturday and try out is on friday! So far I think I've nailed superstitious get lucky Valerie and call me maybe really looking forward to it. I think I need to be playing with other people now to get the timing and structure. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 How many have they asked you to learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Something like this? Verse: Bb Ab Gb Eb Chorus: Db Gb Db Gb Bb Ab Gb ends on a B. Middle 8 approx Bb Gb G Gb. You can work out the fiddly bits. Just follow the guitarist. I don't know Cordify but tab sites are usually wrong.

Bloodaxe Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Can't help directly either, but a casual listen suggests to me that the bass generally follows the chord roots and the guitar licks, so these two vids might help… Bernard Butler's in-depth & slightly out of tune guide to playing the guitar part:— [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hexMs1VuwMY[/media] BBC6 Maida Vale session where you [i]can[/i] hear the bass:— [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRp2Ro5E8PU[/media] All the GuitarPro tabs out there appear to be a] bass-free, and b] not quite right (no change there then). The fact that the bass is a bit indistinct on the original might work in your favour here. If [i]you[/i] can't pick it out, odds are that the guitarist is only vaguely aware that there's probably a bass in there somewhere & has no idea what it actually does. The audience sure as hell won't. Keep it simple, back up the chords & double up on the signature licks. If you find that anything else fits without getting in the way of the tune, go for it. Pete.

stuartielow Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks guys, I've been asked to learn 12 songs and I've thrown 2 back at them that I could play with my eyes shut. I'm just trying to get basic riffs down so I can play something and hopefully they'll evolve after some practise. YouTube is handy in such situations! Its just sh*t luck that I'd never played any of them before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you as a bass player can't hear what the bass line is, then your audience won't notice if you play something discrete and tasteful that you've made up yourself to fit the song.

Hobbayne Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Did you know that the tall bloke with glasses on the TV quiz show 'Pointless' is the brother of the bassist from Suede?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartielow Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Fascinating! Well first practice tonight :-) went well. I just played the chords and no one seemed to mind :-) I'd been perfecting that trumpet solo bit from superstition like buggery then the bloody trumpet player couldn't play it cos its too fast!!! Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
