Yep! Exactly what I thought about my version - good enough to fill a dance floor, but if the chap above turned up and played it after me, the crowd would realise I'd been bluffing!

I gigged for 18 months before the lockdown with a covers band and I'm equally proud and embarrassed to admit I never learned any of the songs. 

Busked each and every one of them.

Phew, that’s working the low B string hard.

Like many great tunes, when you really dig into it the bass part is quite a lot more sophisticated than after a casual listen. I’d taken a PDF online and it didn’t sound quite right, but never bothered to get it done properly. This transcription and the playing is absolutely spot on - and shows just how great Nathan East is. Props to the Stingray too - sounds incredible.

I saw Nathan East at a bass clinic at GAK a few years ago. He said he ran through Get Lucky a few times and gave them 3 or 4 bass lines and left them to chose which one they wanted to use. So the finished song could be one take or a mash up of those versions.

Whichever it is, it's just another fantastic Nathan East bass line.

I was exactly the same man. That’s why I transcribed it. Such a cool line

Great work! 

What transcription software do you use? I'm guessing you were able to export the score as a video, which is a feature I've been wanting to use for a while!

I use Sibelius to transcribe the notation, I wish it could export the score as a video!! 
 

I export the transcription as an XML file, import it into Soundslice and sync it to then sync from there.  There’s a few more steps after that too. I might actually do a video on it. Would that be useful?

Ahh soundslice. I’ve seen a few other people use it. Thanks!

I’d be very interested in seeing how this is done 👍
