Title: Cream "Strange Brew"
Post by: 4stringer77 on November 20, 2012, 09:47:21 AM

Here's what Jack played. I guess he was miffed about how Felix Pappalardi used his bass line from Lawdy Mama and thought it didn't work as well on the newly arranged Strange Brew. Sounds good to me though. One interesting part of the line is when E.C. starts his solo at around the second page of my transcription, Jack pulls of some hefty whole tone bends. I think it works best by bending up to E from the 10th fret of the E string, bending up to D from the 8th fret of the E string and releasing back to the C. The next bar has a bend up to A from the 10th fret of the A string and a release back to G. Have fun folks.

Hey I'm a total computer illiterate, but if you could somehow get these in adobe or something, I could print them out and use them for sight reading practice...

Have been working on simple stuff because I've been playing in BEAD tuning, and I find that my reading took a hit. Working on reading gets me acclimated to the tuning.

I'm kind of cave mannish in terms of computers too. I totally agree that having this in Adobe would make for a much better presentation. Maybe I can ask my girlfriend to help me figure out how to go about it without provoking her to tear my head off ;D

I can convert to pdf but why can't you just print the jpegs as is?

JPG files are single page only.  You can concatenate them into a single PDF file.

Try the PrimoPDF converter - http://www.primopdf.com/ (http://www.primopdf.com/)

Link to the photobucket album page if that helps.

Gary beat me to it - Jackie uses Primo for her PDF files... but as Dave noted and enhanced, JPG files print cleaner than a PDF will...

I think patman is just saying he'd like it more readable for sight reading. Something like this might help:

No personal experience with it though.
