paddy109 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 To finally nail a song that you have been struggling with! I have been trying on and off to learn Stay With Me by The Faces for a little while now and I finally got a passable version laid down tonight. I must admit there is room for improvement but I'm pleased!!!! Does the above sound familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROConnell Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Had the same experience learning 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'. Tried for days trying to get it, then one day it just clicked and suddenly it became a joy to play. Those experience are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 My only trouble now is that I played so many times this evening through headphones that it's etched on my brain - happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm struggling with the two origonal songs that I'm recordingh/videoing on Saturday. I haven't had a problem with them at all until I have 2 days to go Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 well done ! after years of cramping at verse 1 of YYZ, I can now play it all the way thru. Not quite nailing it, but it sounds passable now If I was to play it live now, you'd say "good on him for having a go, but should've waited til he nailed it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Well done on nailing Stay with Me. That one's on my bass playing bucket list. I've attempted to learn it, but it ain't easy is it? It's a brilliant song, and I would love to play it with an all girl band, and change the words to 'I know your name is Peter' Haha :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Stay with me bass line is essentially Plonk Lane jamming it all the way through. Prepared to bet HE never played it the same twice, either. Just get the feel and let the rest take care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blisters on my fingers Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Check out this site www.sykestranscription.com found it through Basschat a while back. Ronnies Lanes bass lines on all the songs from A Nods is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse are there as a free downloadable zip file. Along with a huge amount of other artists. You are spot on Ivan, totally agree, nice to see what Ronnie played on the album though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Although 'nailed it' might be over egging it, I could play with a band and get away with it! Good to hear Lanes line was probably never played the same twice because that's certainly how mine is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with our performance. I wasn't playing bass this time as I was playing lead guitar and singing. Thats not my preferred instrument. The guys in the studio were very relaxed and professional, which helped a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wouldn't worry about it until the drums start as until then it is just notes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
