Submission Earth, Wind, and Fire - Can't Hide Love

[Jloch86]

Nothing too fancy here, but this song epitomizes the true meaning of groove. Dig the Rhodes piano.



I'm just realizing now that I could've notated all the dominant sus4 chords just as slash chords

Thank you for this!

...this tune & "That's The Way Of The World"-
Two great examples/lessons in approaching chords chromatically.

Love how that opening ascending figure begins on the "e of 3".

Nice job! How long did it take you to notate (both standard and tab)? Do you do it manually or is there technology that does it (the scrolling tab stuff made me wonder...).

This one didn't take too long, four days I think? Transcription is the quickest part, actually. It usually starts with a quick once over, then over the next few hours I'll start to notice the nuances.

I manually enter each note into a couple notation programs, edit, edit, edit, edit, scrutinize, edit some more.... then record the line and video.

In order for the tabs and standard notation to scroll correctly, I have to make sure each and every note duration and the tempo is correct then I have to synchronize that with the video and my bass recording. On top of all that, the most difficult part is getting a GOOD SOUND!!! It's so elusive.

Blah blah blah.... it's a whole process but there's really nothing else I'd rather do since discovering this site. I spent years being a bass geek until I found this site and saw guys just as geeky as me actually do exist.

Yeah, your sounds are really good.

4 days... wow. That is a lot of time to spend. I don't mean you're slow, I just mean that it's a lot of time. I hope you make money from it cuz it's pretty valuable work. I see you teach. Is that your main job, musician/private instruction?

Nah I have a regular day job. I don't teach as often as I'd like... a few students here and there... the demand for bass instructors in South Jersey is just about non-existent.
