thepurpleblob Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 So... I said, "yeh, I'll learn that for Tuesday". Without listening to it. Yes, nobody told me :-( Any assistance much appreciated. The actual dots would help the most. My reading ability is slightly better than my ear..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aretha Franklin or Dusty Springfield? The arrangements are slightly different. TBH it's not a toughie - you should be able to blag through it after a few goes (my ear is not brilliant & my reading is non-existant!) Pete.

Know what you mean about Black Velvet - great tune but not helped by being a semitone off. The only tab I found was transcribed for a 5 string. Transcribe it to E & it all makes sense. Pete.

simonmdavies Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi - I order the Feb 06 Bassplayer mag for the Tommy Cogbill version of son of preacherman - think it was 15-20USD and took 6 weeks. Well I cant find it in their - just a Geddy Lee transcription ! If anyone can help me out here Id apprciate it ! Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Black Velvet was a synth bass, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 [size=4]Tommy Cogbill was just jamming. I'd just get the groove right and play it your own way.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonmdavies Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks to all for your replies - I got the pdf from Essential Tension - and also the other version above - really appreciate it. Yes March is the one - still all sorted out now. Black Velvet - I play it in E and using open string muting to click it - I think its a keyboard - nice fill that sets up the vocals coming in. For me - Ive never found a drummer that got it quiet right its got a slight swing to it - I just work the drummer. Enough of this - back to Jamerson and Tommy for me. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
