  • Hello :)
    This is the requested transcription I did of The Doobie Brothers song "Listen to the Music" from their 1972 album "Toulouse Street". The bass player on this track was Tiran Porter.
    This transcription can be found at www.muzento.com under Intermediate - Learning Songs subject.
    Tune Down 10 Cents
    This is a feel good song and I've always liked Tiran Porter's bass lines, so I was more than happy to do this one. I was a little surprised at how difficult it is to keep that rhythm so consistent like he does. It sounds like a nice easy going feel, but by the end of the song, my heart rate was definitely up! It takes some stamina to get through this one.
    I was also surprised at the note length. Until I started playing along with it, I never realized how short the notes were in the chorus were before. I think it's important to play them short, otherwise it looses the "snap" and could start to drag...and we don't want that! :)
    It's fun to play along with, I hope you enjoy it :)

    Always loved that little fill at 1:28. Tiran Porter very underrated. Another classic cover !

      Hey Gary, I like that lick too. Variations of it have been used in so many songs...and there's so many ways to play it. Thanks!

    Great video. One of my favorite bands. I like seeing the written notes in action and your fingers corresponding to them. I never knew how complicated bass is until I started watching this young gal : Ellen plays Bass on You Tube. She is quite the prodigy.

    Nice! Nice patterns I didn't notice before. Tiran Porter did sneaky and subtle Bass playing that was valuable to the songs. Playful Bass....

    Awesome. I love it, but just starting out with bass, so will probably be a while until I can manage it. I would love to see a cover with the transcription/tabs of Rock Your Baby by George McCrea, but I'm not sure if it's challenging or cool enough for anyone to bother with.
