Some PDF transcriptions

This morning (before leaving for work), I've tried to add a similar but different passing/chromatic note with Cm9 - Open E.
Also, I'm not very keen of that groove - not moving and too repetitious for my 80's playing ears; therefore, I've slightly changed that groove.
(Of course, Amy would not have liked it, but as an amateur, "playing-in-the-bedroom" bassist, nobody tells me what and how to play.:roflmao:)

Here is that soundclip from Guitar Pro of that riff.

I loved that groove. I strongly suggest to used it as a basis for a new song of yours.

You see, for me playing a chromatic (passing) note with some easy Pop music - it should be for a reason.

Thank you for your kind words. My days of writing music are over. I'm too old.
Sometimes, due to my "obsessive" character, I tend to get involved (emotionally):rollno:, start arguing.:banghead:
A few months ago, I was arguing with one of our TB members, and as an apology, I've concocted a bass riff that had incorporated his ideas.

Some TB members don't pay too much attention to my stupid comments.
I hope you are not mad for intervening into your thread with my opinions.

Here's a super-easy one, a great song from Justin Timberlake with a super nice and funky synth bass line:

Here's the PDF:


You like music, you like playing songs, you feel the groove.:thumbsup:
Do you have a band? How long have you been playing?
You knowledge to transcribe indicates that you have some musical education.
 
WUTP-
That is a happening 2-bar vamp.

I see chromatic/passing notes in simple Pop music as some interesting "seasoning"; therefore, if I'm using it, I try to emphasize it, to get someone's attention.
But it's about Pop music.
In Jazz music, those chromatic/passing notes come as the correct seasoning, spices - the more chromatic notes, the deeper "JAZZING" environment.
