John Myung - Progressive Bass Concepts

[wRaith]

Hey guys,

Just recently bought myself a Schecter Studio 6 (I'm in love and my girlfriend hasn't seen me in 4 days).

I'm generally tooling around with the extra range and getting used to it reasonably well.

I also tracked down an old copy of John Myung's bass video (Progressive Bass Concepts). I'm not a huge fan of Dream Theatre, but I love John's playing. I'm trying to track down some sheet music for Ex10 from the video, a quick piece with heaps of harmonics. I'm getting it by ear and eyes, but still struggling a bit with some parts. Can anyone help me out with tabs or sheet music for this piece?

Ive always wanted to play that one too, sounds really good.

you can actually play it on 4 string it goes like this:
SUSTAIN EVERY NOTE YOU CAN


Part 1 x2
G----------(2)-------------(5)------------------------------
D-------------(2)-------(3)---(5)---------------------------
A----------------(2)-------------(5)------------------------
E--0--0-------------(2)-------------0----88-77-888-77-----

G----------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------
E---88888-7-----------------------------------------------

Part 2
G-----------------(5)--------(9)--------(7)-----------------
D--------------------(5)--------(9)--------(7)--------------
A--------57--57----------0---------------------------------
E---0-0-----------------------------8----------------------

Thats most of it and enough to give you a good start. This is one of my favorite warm ups and is really fun to improvise around when you have a drummer. Good luck.

cool post highwattage.

Thanks highwattage. I'm at work at the moment, I'll give it a whirl when I get home.

Out of curiosity, did the video come with the sheet music for the Examples? If so, does anyone have a copy they can get to me? (Scan/pdf, postage to Aus. if you want etc?)

[highwattage]

actually that post i made earlier kinda sucked after i looked again and i realized that is really wrong. oh well

If you have Limewire you can download the sheet music!

[wRaith]

Nah, I don't use Limewire, too much spyware and adware.

I just searched for it on Limewire, the first result was 'John Myung Progressive Bass Concepts has screaming orgasm'.

Limewire truly is the application of kings.
