Transcriptions - the big thread (NO COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE STUFF! THANKS.)
- Thread starter BassyBill
- Start date
This is nothing to call home about, ...
but I just posted a transcription I did for this late 80's slap pop bass line for Melissa Etheridge's "Like the way I Do".
Like I said nothing too over the top here,
but there are a few cool slap licks in there...
I did play on the sound-alike recording as well.
You can check it out here
Enjoy!

I was transcribing The Damned's bass lines for a while. Haven't added any in quite a while though...

I have been doing my own transcription lately but there is a piece I'd like to have a professional look at and hopefully transcribe. It's Berry Oakley's bass solo from "Mountain Jam" on the Live at Ludlow Garage album. The better part of valor is to do this myself, but I've tried some of it and it's not happening. I think I have the skills to actually play it at this point, but I just can't get it figured out. Anyway, just to have the piece in my hands would be really cool, as I've admired this solo for more than 20 years.
So if anyone has any recommendations on a transcriber, please let me know. I tried Cliff Engel off a google search and he said he's too busy. My other google searchers haven't been able to track down a transcriber with bass experience specifically listed.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

You can download MuseScore for free, for windows/mac/linux and enter the notes in, and then save as either PDF/Midi/JPEG and you don't have to scan them and they will be legible and much more portable.

There are many sites that have transcriptions that are virtually useless because they are handwritten in some chicken scratching that I doubt even the person who wrote them out originally can even read now. Posting those kind of hand written transcriptions is not really that helpful. Well, to me anyway.

I know that there are other transcriptions available on the net of that song. However, with the Isolated bass track available, it reveals notes & details that we, transcribers, haven't heard before.
I posted this new bass transcription of The Beatles - Something - standard notation & Tabs, with original Isolated bass track from Sir Paul himself. The iso bass track most likely comes from Beatles Rock Band.
Check it out here
Enjoy!
Cheers!

Thanks David - there's some great stuff on there. I'm going to merge this thread with the existing free transcriptions thread in this subforum to keep all the free resources in one thread and easily findable.
