jwbassman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi guys... Any of you performed Liberty City? The keyboard player in the big band though it would be a good idea to do an arrangement for the band - and he picked this chart - no pressure on the bass player then! Have any of you guys performed it and if so do you have any hints or tips on learning it and making a decent fist of it? Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwbassman Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Been working on it this afternoon - think I've just about got to grips with it Keyboard players eh! - should stick to playing keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 There I was, thinking I had got somewhere close until at the rehersal this morning the keyboard player points out that the second part of the phrase is different to how I had interpreted it - back to the drawing board, more practice required...

MB1 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 MB1. Have previously been in bands with similar keyboardists(is that the right word?) try not to throw anything at him,and blaspheming and threats will not make you too popular!.All the best with the gig!

jwbassman Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey MB1 Don't worry - I get on very well with Tom (the keyboardist), to be fair the band doesn't suffer too much from the politics, when there's 18 guys/gals involved there plenty of room for all the personalities I'll only make myself unpopular if I can't manage to get the fingers round the bassline It's so easy to be misunderstood on here - I'm not in the habit of offending people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 MB1. jw no offence, meant or taken sir,i misenterpreted you there,i used to play in a indie band and didnt get on too well with the keyboard player so i was going from previous occurence.Tom sounds o.k,18/guys/girls?,You got your own orchestra?.
