| Ever play a song for a number of years only to find out you were off by a few notes on the solo or basic pattern? It happened to me, been playing One Way Out, The Allman Bros. version since 1972. Some one showed me the basic riff (wrong). Always thought it sound slightly off, but played it any way. Just learned the real riff. Now I am training the fingers to play the correct notes. Live and learn I guess. H

| It's funny how songs will morph in your mind over the years. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time covering material that I had never heard, or had only heard once or twice. I was playing bass, and the guitar player would show me the tunes. I got the 'benefit' of all his mistakes and misinterpretations, and later transferred them to my own 6 string, where I was able to add several more. Some of those songs I've re-learned, and some have fallen by the wayside, but these days I do all of my own transcribing. SG
Hey - Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

| I know what you mean SG. A bass player should never show a guitar player how to play a tune unless the bass player wrote it. Even when I wrote a song I always gave the guitar player the freedom to embellish. Bass players only have to worry about whether a note is a G, C, sharp or flat. We don't have to be concerned with majors, minors, 7ths, etc. Guitar players on the other hand make good bass teachers. { other than playing with a pick} HA, HA, just kidding.  A guitar player taught me many tricks and basics.

| Being self taught on the guitar a friend of mine who plays bass that I used to jam with drove home the Circle of Fifths to me. 
So bass players are very useful to guitar players don't sell yourself short. Blzman

| Yes Bill I am with you. I just remembered it was a Bass player who taught me the Circle of 5ths also. And it was another Bass player that turned me on to ZZ Top before they hit the main stream.
