Sting - Englishman In New York (Bass cover with tabs)

#basstranscription #basscoverwithtabs
From the 1987 album "Nothing Like The Sun" Sting wrote the song about the famous eccentric and gay icon Quentin Crisp.
In late 1986, Sting visited Crisp not long after he had moved from London to an apartment in the Bowery in Manhattan. Crisptold him what life had been like for a homosexual man in the largely homophobic Great Britain of the 1920s to the 1960s. Sting was both shocked and fascinated and decided to write the song. It includes the lines:
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile,
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Sting says, "Well, it's partly about me and partly about Quentin. Again, I was looking for a metaphor. Quentin is a hero of mine, someone I know very well. He is gay and he was gay at a time in history when it was dangerous to be so. He had people beating up on him on a daily basis, largely with the consent of the public."

Thanks a lot for this.
Finally got the solo downpacked. The missing piece. Such a satisfying piece to play.

Play this at 0,5% speed and you got yourself a really nice semi reggea groove :)

Good tabs but the bass is waaaay to quiet. Tutorial was not very helpful

[@snapshot79]

What kind of tutorial do you need in addition to the tabs? I mean it‘s not like there are any complicated techniques in it 😅

[@arjunghai2513]

Get your ears checked brah 😂

[@CleAnMa]

Waaaaaay too quiet

[@CleAnMa]

​@@snapshot79what kind of tutorial mute the instrument meant for the tutorial? Does not make any sense.
