edhunter Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hey folks. Not a regular here. I'm one of the final few at CP. Just wanted to share something before these sites are all gone. This is a collection of Rush bass transcriptions I've done over the years. I need to scan the most recent ones in from SnA and CA. They're in standard notation, and if anyone is really interested, let me know. There's a type of shorthand I developed when doing these. When I first started them in '91, I never imagined that they'd be shared like this. But they're here for anyone who'd like them. Enjoy!http://email.photobucket.com/wf/click?upn=5GL2awLZDqSOiR9AAMJZiBqTutFaoFQXIB-2BPjPxV3V8cmiU7ZV6svxCIIk927lrbcBoJUCqIE-2BfGT7H8g7qK9feFGz3eW235LW-2Fs1VqxQYUwCMv9iptRMbVYLsGfjGUNuvnA-2FVt9cHrPYjiduntTiA-3D-3D_yvBkuk0fYyRmrNYfZvwL0W1KGNI3O-2FNoILrmPtTEsIGHzUdqhVvXMV9VuBHNwi1tVFPXgalJmOq4U7nK4swe9gJ6lCaaGQRZs0I4tIdGIHhjtPN1E8HDgPC-2FJhEYDsEE2K-2Bf3N3osROQjYsyAMyx6R2NdnMRdWsUzwllVg2N-2BRV1BjoeAfB1E8-2FrIa3BhngAyVDnQzicJPSinar-2BkXeTfcdXffphe6iWiE3jn7hVXbHfzmoLyeHBTBuyh-2FDwKZJ-2F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this place about 8-10 years ago. I don't remember the particular mod, but they were awfully thin-skinned. He suspended me for a week because I asked if he was from San Francisco.

edhunter Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 I give CP a year at most. FJ is getting grumpier and grumpier. The whole geddysmoog shitfest pissed off a lot of people, some of whom haven't come back. Add that to the folks who never came back after the last crash and it's definitely twilight over there.

Lucas Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 EH, welcome back I'm not a bass player, but I can appreciate all the time you must have put into those transcripts . . On the whole, this is a great forum ( .. and that coming from someone who has a minimal interest in online social interaction ) Besides, we can never have enough Maiden fans here ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 In the beginning, a 5-minute song would take about 3 hours to transcribe. Eventually I developed a shorthand method to save the time of rewriting 16 or 32 bars of script just because Geddy played a note or 2 differently from verse to verse. I distinctly remember Hemispheres taking alllllll dayyyyyy. Most of these were done using cassettes as the source material. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to do something with it. My musical training was limited to high school band. I would like to learn more music theory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wow, fantastic work. I'm not musically-inclined but I can still tell that so much effort was put into these. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Looks like a labor of love for sure. What really hit home was "before these sites are all gone." I'm not too naive to think that is not possible or likely but it is a shame to think about. As far as CP I don't think I was able to ever sign back in after the really big crash a few years back.
