I'm a learner and I have to start with easier material

It's for an open mic night

ok... fair enough.
It is a good exercise in training your ear for the intervals and changes though so maybe
if there was a chord chart you could find and then follow that and a yourtube demo song..assuming
the song is in the same key.

I don't like the above type of 'charts' as it takes no account into the bar time
but you could play the root notes and then add a walking pattern when you know the chords.

You'll find when you educate your ear that songs like this are playable without any real work as you can hear
the way the song will change and you can drop straight in on request...hence my busking comment.
I think it is the goal to try and get to ..in time, or learn to read it.
No one is going to have the tab for this but they may have dots, on a gig.

Im working on bass clef reading
That link of yours seems to be in same key as first link posted above
[/quote]

FCS...don't play it like that... :lol: but yes, the key appears the same ...but also my link had the
backing track as well as the chords so it wouldn't have hurt to move the song around keys a bit.
It will get thrown as you in different keys, no doubt, at some point.

There was a great video on here of someone playing the whole JS line on a bongo

Whilst if your just starting out it's to advanced, but it's well worth a look if you can start to incorporate even half if one of the fills , anyone know of it?

Beware if it's open mike , some prat might ask you to play it in E

I can't stand the studio version.
Having said that, Constantine does a pretty good job of that one, although I tend to avoid his play alongs as some of them are pretty wide of the mark.
This is what you need to be aiming for....

Well he can work up to the Jerry Scheff live version.

Although I prefer the Fine Young Cannibals take on it.
