that's gonna be a project...

Thanks for posting this song! One of my favorites.
Cheers,
Jim

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!

i wanna red bass... ;D

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.
-
buy a new gibson bass, your post will get plenty of action. schoenberg eh, now you are a academic wet blanket. ;D
-
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.

Nice check shirt... ;)

Thanks Kenny. It's a Pendleton hoodie. They make good stuff. I'm very fond of the girlfriend as well. Previously hadn't seen her since 4th grade. Thanks to a certain social networking site, we reconnected and when we eventually decided to meet in person, the attraction was undeniable.
-
Ah, subtlety is lost on the youth of today... ;)
(actually, she's not dissimilar to Famke Janssen, you lucky devil... ;D)
-
So I picked up the Bass Player version today and was comparing to mine. There are some differences that I don't agree with and a few notes that may be more accurate than what I came up with. On the third beat of bars 7 and 9, I don't think open E, G, G# sounds right and should be E, F#, G. Other than that most of it lines up fairly close.

Well, the relationship is over. She lived in Portchester and is moving to Brooklyn for a new job so the cards were stacked against us from the start. On the plus side, I discovered a new Joe Osborn bass line on a track by Bobby Sherman called "easy come, easy go".

Sorry to hear it. She should have listened to Bobby Sherman's "Little Woman."
-
Good one Dave. Joe's playing on that too. Convincing a city girl to leave Brooklyn behind for Nashua is a tall order. It was a fun fling with a girl from way back in my past. I've got no regrets.
-
ah, brooklyn is the hipster capital of the universe. how things change. my family is from brooklyn and back in the day those that could get out of there did so.

I admit that I am slowing with age, but I do still manage to occasionally learn something. I just learned last week that a Nantucket Sleigh Ride is the resulting whale-powered boat ride you get after landing the harpoon. I enjoy my Missouri Sleigh Rides after hooking big large-mouth bass. :)

dedicated to lesley west, perhaps. i was always amazed how he could play those tiny gibsons with his size. it looks impossible. ;D
