Mrs Tinman Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Not wishing to sound pedantic, but if you're Googling its Ian [i]Dury[/i] you're looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Not the TAB but Norm playing the bass line solo, which might help with learning the part. [url="http://www.theblockheads.com/download_media.php?file=norman_plays_hit_me.mp3"]http://www.theblockheads.com/download_medi...lays_hit_me.mp3[/url] From memory I thinks it's tuned up half a step on the recorded version.

Guest Bald Eagle Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 This is the best close up i've seen of the bassline being played, good luck i'm still trying to nail it myself. I've tabbed some of it out but only by hand sorry, if theres any parts in particular you need tab for I'll try but I ain't no Watt Roy! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv9c_C6hfLk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv9c_C6hfLk[/url] Check out this other guys stuff he's a bit bonkers but a killer player.

Shaggy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Blimey, first "proper" bassline I learned nearly 30 years ago - no tabs then! As I remember it was much easier to play than it sounded/looked as almost all the notes are doubled. Top bass-line, top group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaphappygarry Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 There is an awesome article in this months sound on sound about the recording of that album. Interesting read to say the least G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I gigged with the guy who played that line a couple of weeks ago - Norman Watt-Roy. He's [b]AMAZING[/b]. Thoroughly nice bloke too, we bass-geeked out and talked amps for a bit. He's touring with Wilko Johnson, well worth a look if you get the chance.

RichardH Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Cool Mike! I try and get to any Wilko gigs I can. Also [url="http://www.theblockheads.com/"]The Blockheads[/url] are touring with Phill Jupitus doing some of the vocals up to the end of the year.

parker_muse Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 never realised how good the bass line was! Having a doodle i can play it all apart from the solo bit, i'll give it a honk later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ednaplate Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Do you have powertab? If so I can send you a spot on version of the tab (it good good reviews last time I made it available). If you haven't got it I can send it as a pdf file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempo Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 After reading the OP i decided to try and learn this song (i just remember it first time round).... Wow, it's a bit of a workout. I find the 16ths not to be too difficult, but the first and last beat of the each bar, trying to get the rhythm right. Been at it for two days now and it's gettin there.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but I'm sure I recall that it was played it in E and the track was varispeeded to F (or maybe the bass was tuned up a semitone). Its certainly seems a lot easier to play in E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
