Bass Transcriptions

Jethro Tull. Bourée. Great walking bassline, melodic, rhythmic and inventive. Played by Glenn Cornick.

 

Please be gentle... hopefully this is a bit more accurate and easier to play than the various tabs available on line. I found the most accurate one I could, then amended it.

Peter Kingsbery is a very underrated bass player. Well-written pop tunes with improvised bass lines and excellent use of the B-string. And he sings on top of that, flat 6s included.

4th "Censored word" Robin transcription - "When Your Heart Is Weak" is now online

Great to see pink torpedo Robin here. I see that you have added Just around the corner and I thought you were on my side.  Brilliant I will be going through those.  Do you have Big Country Look away?

I adore this - thank you so much for the tab.  I agree with you that it's certainly one of the greatest walking bass lines (given the composer, why wouldn't it be?!)

 

By the way, your "Buy me a coffee" link is dead - comes up with a 404.

Nope, sorry, I don't have any Big Country transcriptions

I'm doing a weird project where I'm transcribing, or taking transcriptions of classic bass lines and programming them into a TB-303. (A 303 is the classic acid house synth of the 90's, but was created in 1982 as a bass accompaniment, like the old rythym machines, but for you to program a bass line in and play along).

So far I have "Good Times", "For the love of money", "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" and "Come Down" by Anderson .Paak.

I was wondering what anyone else might suggest?

The criteria is:

  • Stone cold classic instantly reconisable (if you know the song) bass line
  • 4 bars (anymore and it's a beast to program into the 303 as you have to brave 'song mode', any fewer and it's less of a challenge)

You can see where I'm tending (70's funk and disco), but I'm wondering about more recent lines I've missed. I've got a couple of tentative first passes up on instagram:

(I'm also learning to play them on the bass as part of the process)
