Allan Holdsworth / Jeff Berlin: "Three Sheets to the Wind" Bass Cover

Details

Description

I first heard this song about 30 years ago and told myself "someday I'll be able to play this." Well, that someday is finally here.

This song is extremely difficult to perform. There ARE mistakes in this performance. I could probably do 20 more takes and I'd get 20 different errors. If I was in the studio, I'd just punch a couple of things and call it good, but I don't have that luxury, nor do I have the time or patience to keep doing takes until it's "perfect."

During the last time through the A chord pedal section, I add in some chord tones that fit the chords nicely. These are not in the original recording, but they work, and sound nice.

I will be making the transcription of this bass line available on my "transcription" website in the near future, as well as a second tutorial video for the bridge section, which does not appear in any transcription.
