This really takes me back. I remember learning this note for note from a record album in the first band I was in back in the early 80s. I was so proud of being able to play this and YYZ by Rush.
I truly believe that this is that ONE song that transcends all musical genres... this is a beautiful bass part that goes virtually unnoticed but is critical to the success of the song. Well done, Greg.
Tom Scholtz played bass on this. In fact, he played lead and rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, special guitar effects, bass, organ, clavinet, percussion, and was the producer and engineer.
Very cool, Greg! It is a great bass part and I really like seeing it written out. I saw them live in the last 70s and was really impressed as Franz Sheehan seemed to play every note as recorded. Not sure who played it on the studio recording, but man, Franz nailed it that night!
It's one of those bass lines, where you almost have to play it note for note. It's such a strong, melodic line. Lucky you to see them back in the day...very cool :)
Hello Greg ; fantastic job as always! I have challenging request for you. The song is "Get Ready"( LONG VERSION) by Rare Earth. It's about 20 minutes long. and to has anawesome bass solo in the song! 🙂

And so you should've been proud! :) Thanks!
Some 45 years later and I still get goosebumps listening to this album. Truly enjoyed your cover. Thanks for showing us how it's played. Cheers
The album was an instant classic. Amazing songs, perfectly recorded. Thanks very much Constantine :)

According to what I have found and in the Boston Bass book. Tom Scholz has full writing credit for words and music parts.
Yes, I figured so. He's very talented. Thanks!
Released; September 18, 1976.....Recorded; October 1975 - April 1976

Really thought he played drop D for this song, hitting the low D right after the guitar solo
Anyway amazing cover still🤘🏻
I don't think so? Thanks!

Hi Clarke, thanks very much. As for your challenge, I'm going to have to pass on the 20 minute song. I'll have a listen to it though...thanks :)
I don’t blame you😂
#92, the C chord prior to the end; only you could have transcribed that properly. That's real fun. Such a melodic bass line and so defines this song.
Thank you :) It's a very melodic bass line. Fun to play...thanks!
Could do "Boggie Down" by Al Jarreau
I'll check it out
Foreigner - Starrider PL!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll check it out. Thanks!
The bass sounds ever so slightly out of tune.
