    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?

    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.

    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?)

    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.
