Anyone who has this bassline scored?
I bought a score sheet on the tune on some website that sells download scores, but it was just a basic bass score in a piano staff.
The bassline is so damn well played and if you know anything bout the player ( I think it's Pino Palladino ) and have some more tips on tunes with nice lines from him, I'd be happy to hear about that as well.
Or else I will just have to learn it and score it meself .. hehe.
;P

Just need to edit a little and verify that everything is correct, but that's for tomorrow or for the weekend.

Never completed the transcription, but I made a fair bit of it, and will email both pdf with sheet and midifile. If you complete it, please send me the complete transcription!
Check your email!  |

Great bassline nonetheless!

David Paton played on most of the Alan Parsons Project's cds. I believe he's on Tales of Mystery and Imagination but he's not on Gaudi. Anything between I Robot and Stereotomy is his work. |
