COMPLETE Transcription note-for-note of Bassline by Demis Roussos with the PROG/Space Rock band from the 70s 'APHRODITE'S CHILD' from their great album LP, '666', released in June 1972.
Demis Roussos played bass finger style and this video focuses on playing with a pick.
***Tuning: the bass is tuned: D - A - D - G , so the low D in measures 29 and 33 are played properly.
I listened to this bassline very carefully at slow speed to get all the *notes and nuances as played by Demis Roussos and created a three (3) page transcription by ear 'from scratch' that is being 'sightread' note-for-note in this video. In fact, I tuned the low E to D, and then went back to the transcription and "transposed up a major second ALL the notes played on the low D" in such way that all I had to to was read the transcription and play the notes as written -- which would, as it were, sound correct! I must add, that with the temperature at 88 degrees with 88% humidity it was not possible to read this all correctly the first few times! LOL Anyway, enjoy the listen!
Note: I first heard this song and this magnificent album on underground radio station CJOM broadcast from Windsor, Canada in 1972 -- still LOVE this song!
*****A big thanks to legendary JEFF BERLIN, whose BASS MASTERY sight-reading practice packages I often use to maintain competency at sight-reading standard notation. (Even though I've been reading music for 52 years, it is still important to "practice" sightreading.)
