|-------------------------|------------11--|------------------------|| I transcribed this track because I think it puts to rest all claims that Manring is purly a techician. The playng on this track is some of the most lyrical work I've heard on any instrument. There are very few techically difficult parts, but the note choice is inspired, and some of the intervals truly educational. I think of this track as a Jaco tribute (c.f. "A remark you made"). I'd be interested if anyone could confirm or drefuteny this interpretation. Notes 1) The first verse is pretty easy. The main thing that requires comment is the slide at the end of the 7th bar. As I've been playing this on fretted I've notated it as a ghost bend - fret 19, and bend it to 20 before sounding the note, then drop it down and back again. Note that in the decending phrase (13-14 and 27-28) the trill on the D string is different the second time. 2) The chorus is trivial, but illustrates some interesting inversions. 3) The second verse is by far the hardest section. Appologies for the poor notation of phrasing here - carefull analysis of the album is a must. 4) The outro section is straight forwards. The bass shifts to the solo after the second time through the theme. Again phrasing is critical. The only dificult phrase is the run in the 5th bar (any corrections to this would be appreciated). The second half of the outro is notated 1 octave down, to fit on a standard bass. Hope you enjoy this transcription... Ian ian@ohm.york.ac.uk
