Bass guitar in Iraq

techall · #1 05-01-2007, 05:28 AM

Hey Y'all,

I'm deployed in Iraq right now and I just bought a Bass guitar from a guy who was going home. I needed something to do when not dodging mortars. I took a couple of the online lessons available and now I just plug my iPod into some really tinny sounding speakers and fill in the bass.
I have the new Kenny Chesney LIVE album on my iPod and I would really like to have the BASS TABS for:
"How Forever Feels" on that album, if anyone can help, I would really appreciat it.
thanks

1) thanks for your service
2) welcome to TB
3) my brother-in-law is a crew chief on a blackhawk with the 2/147AHB, he's headed over to Balad this summer.

stedtale,

Thanks for the encouragement.

If your bro-in-law is with a Blackhawk and is coming to Balad, his coming to LSA Anaconda. We have about 30,000 people on this base. Nick name is "Mortarita-ville" but it's not near as bad now as it was a year or two ago. The living conditions are good with good dining facilities, Exchange, food court and other amenities. The downside for Blackhaws is there is a lot of flight time. If he wants to get in touch with me about anything, feel free to give him my email address = tec_hall@yahoo.com or eugene.hall@kbr.com.

Thanks for the email

what branch are you with, what do you do?

techall · #8 05-02-2007, 01:02 PM

I'm an Army contractor with KBR. I got to Iraq in Sept. 2004 and did a year and a half in Tikrit. I've been at Anaconda since July 2006. I subcontract out all of the camp services and labor. I also had some construction contracts before but none right now.

Keep low, in more ways than one.

Welcome, Thanks, Air Force Vet here. If you haven't seen it there's a sticker going around. "Stand behind our troops or your welcome to stand in front of them", I'm behind you.

The reason I quoted is they are pretty strict about politics around here and remember, we have members from all over the world. I want to see you stick around.

Keep up the good work!!!!!

Oh, BTW www.ttabs.com that should keep you busy.

country bass tabs are hard to find

sometimes you get lucky on http://www.911tabs.com/ or http://www.bassmasta.net/
911 tabs links to them all. So start there.
I'm currently filling in for a country band. Alot of tunes I had to learn by ear.
For faster tunes, or learning the song note for note you can use this program or one similar... http://www.ronimusic.com/
Best of luck to you in Iraq.
Stay safe bro.

Thanks for the tip. When I asked for help finding country bass tabs on other forums I got a lot of unkind comments.....like "just play 5...3...5...3...5....." but I am finding that some of this new stuff is really quite complicated. Thanks again and we sure do appreciate all the support.

yeah, the "new" country is really just pop with a twang

also, you might want to check out www.activebass.com it's not a tab site, but has so good lessons and such on it.
