Possibly the wrong thread! But;

I recently tried to find notation or tab for the bassline of Slide Eazy by Bootsy Collins. I only got two hits from Google on YouTube. One is by a guy who seemed to have it nailed down, the other is from very talented young woman representing a major musical retailer and distributor, but from her demo has both the wrong positioning and notation. For the record, both vids have the name wrong! (It’s “SLIDE EAZY” (not Easy Slide or Slide Easy!!!)


I left a comment for the latter, which was constructive, polite, respectful and appreciative. It was removed straightaway. However, given my observation was solely about bass playing alone, I was saddened to see comments allowed to be left included; ‘the expression on the bass player's face’, or, the fact she’s wearing silver spangled leggings etc., etc!


Has anyone else found themselves censored online?

No such thing as "free speech" on a company-owned web site. No big news there. They pay the bills, they make the rules (same as here, fwiw).

Often, and with good reason.

I mostly try to self-censor so that the mods don't have to. Mostly. Got a "point" once, don't want no more...

I'm not on Twitter or Facebook, and never use Google so no.
