Sign in to disble this ad
Hello everyone,
I am a new member of this forum and hope I am posting this in the right area. I am an inexperienced bass player and my ears are not trained. I'm looking for a little help from the more experienced bass players with good ears. Can you please tell me what key is this song in and give me a hint as to what the first few notes of the bass line are? Thanks any help you can provide.
It's a 70's song by Babe Ruth called "The Mexican" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kb4C...eature=related |
