Stay With Me - the Faces

[Steamtronic]

Hi, anyone know where I can find a good tab for "Stay With Me" by The Faces (Rod Stewart/Ronnie Woods)?

I found this on youtube and it helped a bit, but id really like a tab I can print off to practice.

Thanks!

 

[Steamtronic]

OK, foundthis

There's something missing though.......

Hi, also on the same subject.

Has anyone tabbed the short keyboard riff between the intro and first verse for bass? Thanks a bunch.

 

[Steamtronic]

For what was such a popular red-hot 70's rocker, and for such a fun and challenging bassline to play, I'm surprised there's not more available for this.

 

[Mazer]

Is there something specific you didn't like about the tab you found, or would you just like a new tab with every little tiny fill?

 

[Steamtronic]

(Ooh, sarcasm! Sounds like fun, let me try....)

Why no Mazer, I'd really love just 12 bars of root notes with a repeat at the end - or better yet, chord symbols - it only needs 3 - with a foot note "arrange as required".

Faithful to the original? Pah! Accuracy is just so last century. Punk it up! :b

(How'd I do? Did it improve the tone of the thread & overall communal atmosphere of this forum as much as yours?)

Actually, I'm willing to transcribe it for you in every detail if you want, you just have to tell me quick, I'm going to the army on Tuesday. My previous reply was posted in all seriousness

 

[Steamtronic]

Then I apologize in all humility - I mistook your meaning, I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting anyone to offer to transcribe from scratch, I was just hoping someone had an out-of-print Hal Leonard or similar, and was seriously surprised this track has so little in the way of transcriptions.

To answer your question: the tab I found above contains simplified, truncated versions of the actual patterns used on the original recording. The video I posted is pretty much spot on but due to the camera angle its not really possible to tell what exactly he's playing. The tab seems close but not exact - not so much to do with the fills, rather the actual pattern itself - missing a few 16th figures and replacing them with a quarter or 8th's.

If nothing unexpected comes up, I'll try to have it done by Sunday. If I can't, then you'll have it on Monday.

 

[Steamtronic]

Brilliant, thank you so much!

Thanks in advance.

 

[Mazer]

Hey,
here it is, I did my best. Let me know what you think of it.

 

[Steamtronic]

Mazer, looking good! Thanks for the effort, I realize this one takes a fair bit.

Ive just scanned it for now but tonight after work I'll plug in, crank up the combo and do it justice.

 

[Steamtronic]

Mazer, that rocks, as do you ! Ive been annoying the neighbours non-stop with this.

Thanks man, and Respect!

Wow, I know this is seven years late, but I've been banging my head against the duff tab that's on all the popular sites and riddled with errors and bad fingerings.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'm terminally useless at reading the dots for pitch, but that will help me with the rhythm

I did a fairly detailed transcription of this for an upcoming audition before I saw this thread. There's a few differences here and maybe more detail. It's pretty busy and I found it challenging. Probably a few mistakes but uploading in case it helps someone out down the road.

Here is Faces' live performance of that song.
The bass player plays with the pick a constant (almost) 8th note pulse (including ghost notes) during (that fast) Intro.
