Fav Riffs To Play

[Pilgrim]

But which version of Peter Gunn do you play? .....I read this in a bass mag, never really checked by listening to the original version - the supposed original which in deviation from the minor character of the riff slips in a surprising (but harmonically interesting) major third - C# - as the last note? The riff would then be in A:

A A    B A   C A   D C# (not C!)

They play their version, I play mine.  For me it's: E E   F E   G E  A G#.  I s'pose you can play it in A if you feel like it, but the bass line rumbles better in E.

Can't we all just get along?   heh-heh



And although I don't know this, it sounds like fun to rip...

[Highlander]

Anyone know Steve "the Deacon" Hunter's version of "Eight Miles High", with Prakash John ripping the guts out of his Ricky...?


News Flash - Obama to hit bonuses paid from banks that took aid at 90% tax...!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never govern out of anger.  Makes for bad business.  What's done is done.  I think a nice 7-year audit of recipients would be a better idea.

I've always played it in E, too, but I play it E E   F# E   G E  A G#.

All those great riffs that made up Tull songs from the first 3 albums with Glenn Cornick on bass!!!

another one of my favorites is playing the melody to 'it had better be tonight' by mancini from the pink panther movie, a shot in the dark.  this clip isn't from the movie but is a decent version of the tune.

Hey, whadda I know?  I'm sitting here flailing fingers in the air trying to remember where they hit.  After you've played that a few times, it's more reflex than cognitive activity.

  Too funny. It's good to know I wasn't the only one doing this.

i transposed the entire carmina burana piece and like to play it double time on a 12 string fretless, blindfolded.

[rahock]

When I think about a piece I haven't played for a while, or sometimes  even with something I'm listening to and trying to learn, the fingers start flailing in the air. I'm actually pretty good at nailing it when I'm working on something in a closed position, but if I'm trying to catch something that uses a good sized portion of the neck it's a different story. I start to look like your basic jackass air bass player
