Get It On (Bang A Gong) - The Power Station Tab

[lukeg]

My band suggested we play 'Get It On (Bang A Gong)'. What a great idea especially as I then suggested there was a more upbeat version than the original T-Rex one. The Power Station our guitarist piped up & so here I am. Trying to decipher what John Taylor was laying down & not appearing to be getting very far. Any hints, tips would be most appreciated.

I wouldn't hold your breath... As there are countless bass playing geniuses here they seem to be pretty dense on comprehending a simple help question. Just look at my ask in a previous post. It's like Duh, what are you asking? You still haven't asked what you want, bla bla bla... Annoying to say the least.

I will check it out for you and get back to you. Sorry to vent

Maybe you should try being more polite and respectful to perfect strangers when you're asking for help. Is this what you would do if you were standing on a sidewalk in a strange city and needed some spare change? Start by saying "Thanks for Nothing"? Your posts are like the online version of the crazy guy on the sidewalk swearing at everyone who walks by.

Thank you Winterpegbass. Your tab confirmed that I was heading in the right direction for the verse & chorus. It also helped me unlock the intro & the slap solo. Again, your help has been much appreciated, thank you.
