greghagger Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 After my false start a few weeks ago when I initially thought I was transcribing him, I've finally got round to covering a Leland Sklar bass line. I've gone for 'Doctor My Eyes' which is classic Jackson Browne, as the bass line is pretty accessible apart from a fast triplet bar. This is a great tune and the the simple root note bass line in the verse really helps the song to groove. Jackson Browne is on top form in this song, as are the rest of the band. Sklar's bass line is quality from start to finish and as you would expect from a session player of his caliber, it fits the song so well. There're only a few sections to learn as lots of the bass line is repeated but you'll have to master the triplet bar which happens four times! Find out more in my latest YouTube lesson. The full transcription in notation and Tab is available under the video. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 You're right - that's a great bass line - and I've definitely struggled with the triplets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty fast! The chorus moves a bit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
