Sign in to disble this ad
in the middle of the song somewhere there is this cool unison run with the bass & guitar & for some reason i'm having a bit of a problem with it. can anyone help me with what's being played there?
I checked for tabs/music & found out exactly what I assumed I would find - the posted tabs are completely inaccurate.
anyone?
EDIT - includes question about meters cover band down the thread

It goes:
G:----|----5---7-5--------------------|-------------------------
D:5-6-|7-7---7-----7-6-5---3h4-------|--------3----------------
A:----|------------------5-----5------|----3-----5-3------------
E:----|---------------------------3-4-|5-5---5-------5-3-1/10---
Hope you can read that.
I edited it so it would be easier to read. Otherwise the added txt should be very easy.

It's amazing how inaccurate the transcriptions of music on the net are. I was looking thourgh a bunch of meters stuff & even the simplest of lines are wrong. I sure hope these people are not playing them out ! |

Also the guitar's intro is slightly different than his main lick, He's got double stops,a desending bass note thing,subtle but personally I love them and encurage guitar players to learn/play that intro.
Good Luck

I'm also not sure if people want to go out & see 4 pasty-white Canadians play New Orleans Funk 
Thoughts? |

As for working out fast lines, I usually listen to a few notes, maybe 4 or 5, and then sing them slowly, and play each note after I sing it. |

A definite Meters' vibe done in a modern way.
...there's some youtube footage of them, too.
