Anyone know a good songbook for Clash music? Early stuff through to later.

Thanks,[/quote]
Try on-line tab sites like BassMasta - not always spot on but at least they're free and you get to choose the songs you want to learn

Thanks, I usualy use them, have to mix them around though to get the 'right' sound. Not sure how you can get the wrong sound for Clash though..

Easily :) His basslines can be a lot more involved than they first appear. White Man In Hammermith Palais is a great line :huh:

Simonon must have played the bass on those tracks on the great bootleg that was just released officially - Live at Shea Stadium

If you haven't got the CD, try it - its fantastic

He didnt in the studio,im pretty sure it was watt-roy and siminon would play the guitar part of guns of brixton live while strummer played the bass part.As for magnificent 7 i dont reckon he could have nailed it live,ill download the bootleg now though as this has always been an argument i have wanted to defeat since i thought simmo looked so cool.

Yeah, I always knew he couldn't play the bass while singing it, but he did write the line.

I swear I've seen him do magnificent 7 live...nut maybe not..

Guns Of Brixton bassline is based in yer basic reggae. Throughout the song it goes.

-------------------
-------444--------
-2---5------5-222-
-------------------

Occasionally the groove emphasis on 5th fret G for the raised vocal bits.

If it were a classic 70s Top Ranking type reggae it would have a second part like this.

-------------------
-------222-------- X2
-0---3------3-000-
-------------------

I suspect that's what's used in 'Invasion Of The Estate Agents' and 'Dub Be Good To Me'. Unless anyone knows better...
