Huw Foster Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Nikka Costa - 'So Have I For You' [notation / tab] Original bass: Pino Palladino Another Patreon request. I hadn't heard this tune before, but as soon as I did I knew I'd have fun transcribing it. It's a Pino Palladino masterclass in gradually building as a track goes on. I'm almost 100% sure it's in D standard (D-G-C-F), as Pino tended to favour that tuning at the time. Note: there's some weird stuff going on in the outro section, particularly bars 81-82. I gave it my best shot! 😂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Foster Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Did this one a couple of months ago when I heard about the passing of Bernard Wright. Some phenomenal bass playing on this album, including from a young Marcus Miller. However, this cut is Barry "Sunjon" Johnson.

Huw Foster Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 This one was a request for a wedding I'm playing at today. A bit unusual as a wedding song, but I'm up for it! Proper dirty, funky blues. Awesome bass work by Cornelius Mims.

Huw Foster Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Freddie Washington is the man. Another one of his tunes with Patrice Rushen, which was composed by Freddie too. I only heard this for the first time a few months ago, but I knew I had to get it transcribed as soon as I did!

Huw Foster Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 The main groove in this is so cool. So much space. In the playalong above, I tried to keep it relatively sparse for the first couple of sections, then started to fill it out a bit. However, the bridge is a note-for-note version of what Andre Bowman laid down originally. Mary J.

Huw Foster Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Needed to learn this for a gig; it has some nice bass moments in it, so I thought I should do a proper transcription.

Huw Foster Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Transcribed this a couple of years ago, decided to revisit today. That 16th-note fill in measure 10 (doubled with overdubbed xylophone) blows my mind. Maybe I'll get around to a playalong sometime.
