ubit Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Being a predominantly finger style player I am always looking for ways to improve my pic playing. I had forgotten this song from my youth and came across this video of Scott Whitley who was Big Country's bass player until recently. It's a fantastic pic piece and I would love to learn it. Unfortunately I can't find decent tab and I would like to get every note perfect. Great song anyway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Just shows how valuable Tony Butler was to the band. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was a shame he left but Tony was great too. They have another bass player now Gil Allan but I haven't heard him play yet. There's a video on Youtube where you can hear him and he's good too but you don't see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this all the time, as I hate tab and it’s always wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I just cant read tab, makes my head hurtmtrying to get my eyes round it. Fortunately I can read music well enough to get by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true though, they are always wrong. Some of the books are even worse than online tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 I used to use Songster and quite liked it but I cancelled my subscription when I looked at one tab and what they were telling you to do didn't make sense. It would have been finger gymnastics. that's when I realised that they were just as likely to be wrong as me picking things up by ear.

SteveXFR Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think any idiot can upload tabs to Songster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
