Good vibrations (Beach Boys)

[jsa0100]

Does any one have the bass notes or know how the riffs go ?
The tabs on the Internet are not correct.

Da-duh dum-dum-dum Duh-dum-dum-dum

Ever hear Todd Rundgren's version?
It's on his Faithful album. Talk about nailing a cover tune....

I've got that album and it is good - although the Hendrix one sounds nothing like Hendrix !!

It's good to know that even geniuses like Todd have their limitations!!

Good tab... rhythm is a little strange for the beginning, but just listen to the original for the timing.

Oh yes it was - there was a BBC radio 4 programme which talked to the person who actually played the Theremin on Good Vibrations!!

"Joining comedian and theremin enthusiast Bill Bailey are sonic inventor Robert Moog, Theremin's biographer Albert Glinsky, poet John Hegley, film critic Mark Kermode, and musicians including Alison Goldfrapp and Paul Tanner, theremin sessioneer on the legendary Beach Boys single. "

The best Hendrix impression I've heard was-
Stanley Jordan. Yep, Stanley Jordan.
...his Shankar & Jimmy Page impressions ain't too shabby, either.

Paul Tanner realized the problems inherited when trying to play the theremin in a recording situation, without hours of overdubs. He designed a theremin like instrument (later dubbed "the Tannermin") which was a ribbon controller mounted on a 2x4 with frets drawn on it. It was the same instrument he used later on My Favorite Martian.If you look at old Beach Boys videos of them playing Good Vibrations, you can see it.

jsa,

There is a notated (not tab) version of Good Vibrations in Carol Kaye's Electric Bass Lines #2 book. Appears to be correct to the original Beach Boy version and the bass part she played that was written by Brian Wilson.
