Transcribing LEE SKLAR'S videos

[albertus]

Another Jacson Browne's song: THE FUSE. This transcription is a little long but plenty of interesting things in there. you can see as Lee plays 5ths altogether and he kind of gets the sound of a 5 string bass. there is a phrase that sounds as he was playing a fretless thanks to the slides he uses. and plenty of fills worth studying.

Today we are back to James Taylor. Lee plays again DON'T LET ME BE LONELY TONIGHT. This time he plays quite a different version from the first one, but the spirit of the song remains intact.

Today we have a novelty and that is that Lee plays twice the same song in the same video. The first time he missed a couple of spots and I guess that would take his dream away so he repeated the take. The song is one from Carole King that he played a long ago and in these two versions he changes the bass line quite a lot from the first one. the song is ONLY LOVE IS REAL and you can find here the two transcriptions.

With this tune I am finally up to date. this is the last one remaing to publish. a Rita Coolidge's song: I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT. a quite simple song but with some interesting fills like the one in bar 81. very good to practice reading shuffle

[albertus]

here it is the weekend transcription. this is number 300 Leland's basslines I have done, can you believe it? . a milestone in a path I am enjoying and learning in every step. don't be frightened by three pages, there is a lot of repetition and not hard to read.

Love the Waddy tune, the Stones heritage is clear, but I will move it to 4 string. The fiver don't seem right.
