- After many years playing this cool song with my students, i really needed to do a bass cover video and the transcription of this iconic bass line, as recorded by the great John Deacon in 1979.
I tried to respect the original fingering position, but i can't be 100% sure about all the song. I personally loved the use of the major thirds with slide on the main verse bass riff, it gives so much r'n'r style to the song, a perfect choice that fits very well in this tune. Chords changes are a bit crazy in the bridge, and those triplets at the end of the bridge are the main reason why i think of this song more as a "medium" level song than an "easy" one. But just try to count in the right way and pay attention to the drums and you'll pursue it with no problem.
I hope you enjoyed it, and if you liked the video, you can BUY THIS TAB/SHEET here: mymusic.st/BassTunes/104032

Nicely done. John Deacon was a genius with his iconic bass lines. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I'm a new bassist, and my goal is to be able to play this someday.
one of the very best covers of this song
New on our setlist and you're my teacher. Many thanks......it's a beauty
that's quality 👌
thank you very much!
Deacy was a master. Great cover!
Nice
Yo what's up bro, thanks very much for this lesson and tab. I had to learn this song for a project I just joined, this video made it super enjoyable to learn. Any chance you have a video for immigration song?
so.. basically blues scale?
No, i don't think so. The main riff is triad chords+major 6th, classic in R'n'r bass lines. Or you can think about it as pentatonic major scale without the 2nd (R-3-5-6).
But to be a blues scale you need blue notes (minor third on a major pentatonic scale or augmented 4th on minor pentatonic scale), and here you are not playing any blue note.
Blue notes are usually easy to find if you look on the sheet part, mainly because they're basically chromaticisms, so if you don't see accidental notes (sharp-flat notes) you can deduce that there are no blue notes there. Even so, you can find some accidentals notes on this song, but they came from modal exchanges in my opinion.
I hope this can help, if you have any doubt let me know ;-)
I often wonder if John still has a tinkle
Sorry to be a smart ass, but bars 55-56 should be D-F#-D-A-A, D-F#-D-A-D. Please consider this as constructive criticism. No harm meant ...
Hey buddy, no need to say sorry. If your criticism is constructive, is welcome on this channel! Still, i have to say that i do not agree. I'm listening right now to the isolated bass track, and passed the track through "auto-tune" program, and i'm quite sure that those bars are right.
If still i can't convince you, if you give me an email i can send you the isolated bass track and a capture of the notes as you can see in the program that tells you which notes are being played on that track.
Thanks for the comment and for the honesty, i appreciate that.
@MassimilianoGentilini ... Hi again and thanks for the reply! I now listened to the isolated track as well and I must say: we both are wrong...partially at least 😉 To my ears the line goes like D-A-D-G-G, D-A-D-A-D ...what do you reckon?
Hi again! As i told you before, my analysis of the line is based not just on my ear, but putting the isolated track on a program that recognize which notes are being played. Is like auto-tune, it's called "Variaudio", it comes with Cubase. But there are a lot of softwares that can do this. Our ear can fail, but with this method is hard to fail because it's just maths on a pc. If you want, I can send you a capture of the notes on the program.
Thanks for the reply
@@MassimilianoGentilini Hi mate. Seems we have an issue here ☺Frankly, I trust my ears more than any software tool. I don´t use Cubase. I have Logic Pro. I assume Variaudio is also based on transforming monophonic audio into Midi. That´s prone to failure if the audio signal isn´t 100% pure. Just slow down the isolated track and give it a re-listen. The high C you play on the G-string isn´t there. It´s a D (7th fret G-String). In bar 56 the last note is not a quarter note A, it´s rather two eights, A and D.
Let's just say we agree we disagree 😂 I was thinking that it'll be interesting if we send an email to mr. Deacon, and ask him if he remember what he played here.
Let me say i work a lot as a transcriber since many years and what i learned is that transcribing is not a perfect science, you can find mistakes even on "official" books.... That's why i try to use all the tools i have to be as sure as possible, when my ears hesitate. But still, i can't be 100% sure either that you're wrong, so i will not insist.
On logic you can do exactly the same with flex pitch, if you want to give it a try.
Thanks for the discussion, i love to talk about this kind of details, i had a similar conversation about the transcription of James Brown's "I feel good", and i find this debates very useful to see things in a different way. You know, nowadays on social network is not easy to have a genuine debate, specially about art..... is like war on comments! Thanks for being polite and express your opinion with respect.
Be well and never let the music stop, whatever notes you play 😉🤘
