Double Bass Paul chambers freddie freeloader lines

[Shimmidybone]

Does anyone have a transcription for some of Paul Chambers' basslines throughout this song? I've been learning the chord changes with some basic lines, but I'd love to learn the lines that he is using on the record. They sound much better than mine

The process of pulling those lines off of the recording by ear would be well worth the effort for you. It's a clean recording and they are simple changes. I strongly encourage you to just knuckle down and do it. Even if you just get 4 bars a night or something, it will really open your ears and your mind up to what you're hearing that you like.

Agreed with above. I've found just learning 8 bars of a given player is pretty darn eye opening.

I'm guessing that this will not provide Paul Chambers' actual transcribed bassline from Freddie Freeloader:

This exceptional book features transcriptions of all the improvised solos as well as sketch scores for all the songs from this landmark release. This includes Miles' trumpet parts, the brilliant sax work of John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly, and rhythm section parts to use as guides for the feel of each composition.

That said, it should not be tough to transcribe by ear; and I fully concur with the pedagogic value of transcribing basslines of the greats yourself.

My, then 12-year-old son, transcribed P.C.'s bass line under Miles' solo, from So What.
