Radio Radio - Elvis Costello

NationwideBass · #1 01-11-2008, 11:09 PM

So, I've figured out this entire song save the middle section. The 'I want to bite the hand that feeds me' part. I know the root chords are A E A E C# B. But there's some kind of quick syncopated part the bass is doing under the organ that I can't get. Anyone able to help me with it?

No ideas?

O.K., I'll give it a try...

Think eighth notes: A EE A EE B EE B EE, A EE A EE B EE B EE, C#G#C#G#C#G#C#G, #C#G#C#G#C#G#C#G# now triplets: ABbB ABbB BAF# BAF#

Let me know if this helps!

Hey guys

That book was on sale at my website. But I had to pull it - even though I think publishing/selling basslines without chord symbols doesn't compromise copyright, it's a serious grey area.

And I didn't want to get any Cease and Desist notices.

So I pulled it.

=( thanks Paul.

Any chance there is a PDF out there?

The book was in PDF format.

But as I said in the above post I've stopped selling it from my website. I have just recently put a quick 'how to play' video for PUMP IT UP on my YouTube channel.

You can find it here:
