Norman Watt Roy bassline - Rhythm Stick (slowed down)

[ljosha75]

isn´t the bass on this song tuned half step higher,

so you basically have E,C changes and penty of open string tones?

[jamersonshook]

No - the original is in F.

BTW - I read that Norman Watt Roy came up with the line soon after seeing Weather Report with Jaco, who inspired the line.

[ljosha75]

oh well :)

its hard not to be inspired after hearing Jaco.

thnx for the info m8.

Thanks a lot for publishing this. It took me right back to seeing the great man play this on the Tube in 1983 (in the studio, not on TV). It's inspired me to pick up the bass again after a bit of a break.

[jamersonshook]

[andowarc]

Well, as I met and know Norm a bit I would say it is not really accurate this bassline ;)

[jamersonshook]
