Hi Rob just listening to Camel Pointless album and there's a nice catchy wee riff on The Sleeper if looking for ideas.

Breathless, Dave - though that bloody Richard Osman gets everywhere, this features the superior Richard Sinclair.

 

Camel went downhill after this as Pete Bardens left!

 

Good choice 👏

I meant Breathless. Cheers Mickey, now updated on original post. No idea where i got Pointless from. ? Bit of a Doh !!! moment there. 😂

Richard Sinclair was an incredible bassist / vocalist with some amazing techniques.

I personally love "A Live Record" where you get to hear his playing.

My fav album by Camel is actually "I Can See Your House from Here" which is the only tour i've seen them.

Liked the "Nod and a Wink" album too but i think that was a bit of a tribute to Pete Bardens.

I’ll let you off with a warning this time…😂

 

Interviewed RS once and was staggered to find he doesn’t rate himself as a musician at all. In Hatfield and the North he had impostor syndrome! But what a wizard on the de-fretted Jazz.

Unmistakably Camel. I will put it on the list. I have been working on a guitar chart this week and it it exhausting. I did the Haden charts for a break and have a Marc Johnson chart that I should finish today. My next target is 646 transcriptions which would be 200 since I came back on line.

I have finally got to a Marc Johnson transcription. This is the tune 'Dingy Dong Day' from the 1997 Johnson led album 'The Sound Of Summer Running'. I love the tune and I love what they do with it (have a listen if you haven't hear it before, you'll see (hear) what I mean). Not a massively challenging tune to play but 'that' section will throw you if you are not ready for it.
