hey guys, I'm well proud of myself, cos today I worked out the first 9 and 3/4 bars of the aforementioned piece of music on my bass guitar. (slightly ridiculous sentence structure and wording, i think so!)

anyway, the link is: www.myspace.com/chasmmusic - it should play automatically when you get on the page.

yes, I know I'm playing it slowly and it's clicky (I decided to up the treble on my EQ so that it didnt sound too muddy - I'm DI'ing the bass) so yeah.

comments, criticisms, anything at all.

cheers!

It was good!
You need to make it 'sing' more.
And the part at 0:29 was wrong.
You're playing an F# A C B C.
It's actually F# A D C# D

cheers man, I've ammended my error lol and also got to the end of that bar (bar 10).

I was wondering, could someone possibly record themselves playing it, I've heard it played all the way through on the cello (by paul tortelier), but not on the bass!

as for making it sing - I'm trying to learn the thing first, artist interpretation comes afterwards (in my books at least)

I might have one, but a crappy version. Let me look.

Alright i found out.

it sucks. I screw up at 1:40, add in an extra bar, and take a huge speed boost haha.

I was doing it by memory though.

Link will be up in a minute

John Pattatuci did a nice version on 6 string (up one octave from normal "bass" Guitar versions) on a video of his. It's got to be on youtube or something, you may want to look for that.

I don't really like his phrasing on that recording but it nonetheless demonstrates how the suites lay on the bass. I like to play it up the octave at the written pitch, not only since it was written there but also because that register of the BG allows for easier fingerings that translate to better phrasing.

That video did absolutely nothing for me. Joebingo, sounded pretty good, keep up the good work.

The speed is alright to me. That's the about the same as my when I play that song.

Great song to learn on bass.

I did this 5 or 6 years ago.
