My pleasure. It's my own transcription. I was hoping others would give their assessment of my work. This site is apparently comprised of musicians yet it seems no one wants to talk about any actual musical concepts. There is a wonderful potential for all of us to learn from one another here and this is part of my sincere attempt at getting the ball rolling. Thank you kindly Jim, glad you like it.

AFAIK we're all musicians here. People post here for various reasons; they're not any less musicians if they would rather discuss gear or their favorite bands than musical concepts.

I'm sure there are others who appreciate your transcriptions even if they haven't said so. OTOH not everyone learns bass parts by reading transcriptions, and those who do may have very different musical tastes.

I can understand that not everyone has the same over zealous love for Mountain, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cream as I and perhaps I shouldn't have taken such an accusatory tone, yet it would be nice if there was a little more engagement in musical discussion than I've seen, regardless of genre. Then again maybe I'm coming off as an academic wet blanket. Anybody up for in depth analysis of Schoenberg's dodecaphonic compositional technique? No? Well truthfully, neither am I.

No, you're not coming off that way. Nobody whose sig line refers to EB1 Kenobi is a wet blanket.  :)

I don't want to speak for others, but I've been around forums long enough to see that musical concepts, techniques and theory usually take a back seat to gear talk, favorite artists and off-topic discussion. It's not good or bad, it just is.

I actually tried this transcription on my precision tuned BEAD...please continue to post them, if you don't mind...this one was real hard to play for me...course I haven't listened to the tune in probably 25 years...

I have been trying to get my reading skills back.

Cool Patman. I'll keep em coming. It's become a compulsion for me to transcribe. You should take a crack at it too. I don't expect anyone here to analyze them and if I want that I should reserve it for my own private lessons. Dave is right, the forum is for fun. Now Alban Berg is a composer of the second Viennese school I can really get behind. I could listen to Wozzeck all day!

The February 2014 issue of bass player magazine has a transcription of Nantucket Sleighride. I haven't seen it yet but am curious to see how close it is to my version. When I did this, I didn't use any programs like transcribe!, just a cd player with ff rw and pause.

Well Nofi, I'm hoping my custom Gibsonesque Stambaugh will turn some heads eventually. Maybe I'll try my hand at making a vid with it playing one of my transcriptions. Now that I'm seeing someone again, I've been thinking "My Lady" from the same Nantucket Sleighride album could be a good choice.
Check us out.
