Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere In Summertime Bass Cover

[lovealien43]

Hurray, I finally managed to reverse engineer your baseline! I think I got it pretty close.

I learnt a lot from the effort. The approach I used deserves its own video, let me see if get it done (never edited oneself before).

Hope this will lead me to decipher the guitar parts (especially the brilliant SSIS guitar intro) as well in the near future.

It would be nice if someone with better listening skills than me could comment how close it is to the original song's baseline.

@lovealien43 Sorry, i meant bassline - Safari is interfering. Sigh.

@lovealien43 Cool stuff. Let me know how you get on. I might be able to ask Derek if you can comment on the bassline but I know he is busy with his radio show and other stuff.

[lovealien43]

@Linus27 I got the first version of the video done!

I posted it as video answer to this video. Otherwise search for "Reverse Engineering Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) by Simple Minds".

I wanted to a add a voice comment, but had not enough time this weekend. I will upload a new version soon, also need to correct some minor errors.

Very good. Wish i could buy the sheet music somewhere. Only found the guitar songbook so far.

This is a very well played, Any idea of any more minds songs you are going to do? I can't stop listening to your phil collins easy lover, quiality song & playing.

[Linus27]

Thanks Dan. Really pleased you like the Phil Collins cover. Took me a while to get it right :)

Probably going to do Hunter and the Hunted next. The only problem is I Have never played slap and he does the odd bit in it. After that, then Love Song, Promised You A Miracle, I Travel, Street Fighting Years and maybe Glittering Prize. Just a few to learn :):) How about you?

I've got a list about about 30 other songs I want to cover so I think I am going to be busy.

[danthewelshy]

Umm 1 or 2 RHCP songs i've almost finished working them out, along with a jamiroquai cover.

And im currently on the look out for another SM song to do, ill let you know when i've done one.

Make sure you remind me when you've got your next cover up as ill be sure to watch it.
