lee650 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Absolutley right Gerard kenny did co write, i had the pleasure of playing with him a few times while in the house band on the cruises, a lovely fella !very generous with me regarding my reinterpretation( prob spelt wrong) of the written part i probably put a few more pops in than necessary had a great time very enjoyable. absolutely cracking tune!!!!

coasterbass Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Minder was transcribed in a late 90's copy of Bassist magazine. It provided me with lots of fun trying to play that. Cracking. If anyone wants a copy of the transcription then drop me a line (although its back at my parents somewhere so 'please allow 28 days for delivery' ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Mo Foster is a legend, an absolute geezer... for those of you who haven't read his book "Seventeen Watts?" (published in the US as "Play Like Elvis!"), I can only advise that you do so, as soon as possible. It's an absolute hoot and a real eye-opener. Never again will you complain about a lack of amp power or the weight of your 1x15... EDIT: also, his album 'Bel Assis' is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
