Post your covers! (2019-2022)

Hi @juli0r,
You play through the verse and the chorus twice then play the solo and where it has the d: S al coda written below the coda you go back up and play 8 bars and then chorus again through to coda and then drop down to last 4 bars to end.
If you listen to the original recording you can follow it pretty easy.
Did you try the other song Green Limousine by the Badloves ?
All my songs were written by my old music teacher who was the bass player in the Badloves.
He wrote and played it on the album, if you like it the album is called “ get on board”.
He has a nice melodic style.
He has played with artists here in Australia like
Joe Camaleri and the black sorrows, Daryl Braithwaite, Weddings parties anything, and a great female artist named Cyndi Boste. The album he plays on with her is called foothill dandy and I have a lot of those songs charted.
If you listen to her stuff and like it I can send you some of her charted songs.
Cheers

Hi @terb,
I wish I could write as good as that.
The chart was done by my old music teacher.
It looks like artwork, I love the way he writes the charts.
Cheers

Been a long time since I’ve been able to get online… Things easing up a little bit here in The Peach State and was able to upload a small Bass Cover Video last evening! Gonna go back to work on another original with my old Navy buddy now that we can swap tracks a little easier then the last few weeks…

The link will take you to my bass website, and all the information regarding the song and video are on that page.

“I’ll Take You There” by The Staple Singers. 1972 Stax Records.

The bass line (Although prominent and upfront) is very monotonous except for the middle of the song where bassist David Hood throws in a high octave change out… Because of that octave change, I was unable to filter out those frequencies without loosing the rest of the songs midrange - as such, it’s a bit dirty in that part. Keeping perfect time to a 4:44 minute long song with a repetitive bass line riff can be a bit challenging…
