Can’t get enough of this one @Barney! Didn’t see it coming for sure… Perfect!

It definitely shows, and totally agree, it seems like every genre is fun to play on the bass. I never felt this was the case with guitar.

Same goes for sax man.
I love it, but it sure aint as fun as bass, 100% that!

When I did Skynyard’s Call Me The Breeze I could not belive how damn fun it was to play it.

Greetings boys & girls!
I was thinking that I hadn’t done a Tijuana Brass song in a long time so I chose this to have some fun with. There was no tab available so I made up my own bass line (mostly root/fifths).
Hey, you never know, burlesque might make a comeback.

Comments welcomed.

Great cover @JerryP and definitely not the version I know.
I hurriedly read the post and was blown away that you were doing a cover of this……

Thanks @Mac !
I wasn’t familiar with Tygers Of Pan Tang until now. I like their version too.

It should (and is in NYC, a few cool places to see it).

Great job as always. Nice cool groove and you played nice and laid back as should be done.

Ha, I was thinking @John_E would like that. Great cover @JerryP, you are getting your money out of that bass.

Burlesque IS sax music, it’s so fitting, sexy. So fitting. I really like the bari line throughout the whole song too. Burlesque clubs used to be one of the main ways Sax guys came up or learned when they were a thing.

I… did not even know… Spleeter was a thing. That is super effing cool. It’s definitely not perfect, but for where I’m at now that will be a great addition for me.

Well done on the cover, by the way.

Very nice and classy. Sounds great too. I dig the root/fifth approach.

The… Tygers of Pan Tang? I’d never heard of them before. Pan Tang is a fictional nation from the Young Kingdoms, the setting of Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melnibone saga. I dig references like that. :slight_smile:

Awesome band from the NWOBHM vein. I listened to them for years when I lived in SoCal in the 80’s. These guys, Budgie, Mercyful Fate, Venom, Lizzie Borden and several others. Great stuff!

Been a very long time since I did a cover. Here is my rendition of The Sweet: Ballroom Blitz. Sorry/not sorry for the cheesy dancing

Well done @Old_WannaBe
One of my most favorite tunes!
The few tuning issues were greatly outweighed by the exceptional dancing!!

Tough song, stamina needed for sure.
Nice!
