…a guitarist uses an octaver (and a midi pickup) to pump out the low end on his bottom two strings? :D

Transcription (and play-through) of Rick Shaw’s knockout line on Gordon Goodwin’s “Count Bubba’s Revenge.” (Sure, you’re meant to make your own part up from the chords, but learning how the major-league cats put their lines together makes for great practice material.)

UK bassist and US guitarist talk music theory in Japanese... (w/subtitles)

As most of you likely know, full-song transcriptions were a permanent fixture in Bass Player magazine before it was bought out by Future Publishing in late 2018. (Upon acquiring the mag, Future switched the mag's operations to the U.K. and stopped running transcriptions.) What you may not...

Still on a Peter Cetera "high" following a previous Chicago transcription. Totally can't get enough of this dude's classy axe-work (and vocals). And, as many of the YouTube comments note, the song's lyrics are none too shabby either... timeless stuff all round!

So here's a link to my (likely) final transcription for Bass Player magazine, from the September 2018 edition. Sadly, it seems the "Invalid Link Removed" version of the mag won't be running full-song transcriptions any more... Not sure why the new owners (Future Publishing) have uploaded the...

I've always been intrigued by the Squire/Wakeman interplay on this song - finally got round to figuring both parts out. One of Squire's simplest bass parts, in one of his finest songs... Transcription is [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Hi all, Just uploaded a bunch of newish transcriptions (notation and tab) that I’ve done for other people, students etc. Seems a shame to just leave them sitting on my hard drive. Some Yes tracks, a bunch of down-tuned country songs, some metal, and a sprinkling of various other stuff (see...

Hi all, If anyone's interested, I recently uploaded a full transcription of Abba's "Dancing Queen" (w/tab), featuring the killer playing of Rutger Gunnarsson. Here's the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Hope somebody finds it useful. :) Stevie

Hi all, Does anyone know what kind of bass Muzz Skillings is playing here in the video for Living Colour's "Cult Of Personality"? Any help would be much appreciated. Further glimpses of the bass can be see here: Thanks!

Hi all, Does anyone have any idea who this bassist is? (Seen here with Ronald Isley at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1994.) Any pointers much appreciated. Thanks, Stevie

Am I mad? I own a bunch of different basses (including a very nice Ken Smith sixer) and they all get to see a fair bit of action as the occasion arises. However, in terms of the day-to-day business of gigging and even occasional recording, I keep gravitating back to an old $400 5-string that...

Hello all, For anyone who's interested, I recently uploaded transcriptions of Jimmy Johnson's playing on Allan Holdsworth's "Panic Station," as well as a couple of tracks featuring Chris Squire ("Going For The One" and "Parallels"). I'm amazed that the Web isn't awash with transcriptions...

Hello all, What with Anthony Jackson appearing on the cover of this month's Bass Player magazine, just thought I'd take the opportunity to let you know I recently uploaded full transcriptions of his work on Chaka Khan's seminal "Naughty" and "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" albums. As most...
