Help with tabbing some songs

I've been messing around with some programs, stripping down FM songs to just the bass parts. I've been trying to tab out some songs by ear, but I just can't do it. If I put those stripped down, bass-only songs on The Ledge, would somebody be able to listen to them and help me and get these songs written out in tab?

Okay, just tried doing the intro to I Don't Want To know

G|-------------------------------|
D|----4-2--424----42--4----------|
A|-2-----------2--------2--------|
E|-------------------------------|

I'm not too sure about the second last note.

I will have a look at this soon, I play bass and I have reasonable ear for bass parts, BUT its 1:20 AM local time, not time to be trying anything LOL.

Here's what I have for the verses to IDWTK

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------4---2---------------------4---2---4----------------------|
A|--2-----------walking part--2----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------| x1

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------4---2---------------------4---2---4----------------------|
A|-02-----------walking part--2----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------| x3

I have yet to figure out the walking bass part.

This is what I've come up with so far;

Intro

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------4--2--4-2-4-----4--2--4--------------------------------|
A|-----2---------------2-----------------------------------------|
E|--2--------------------------------2-----------------------------|

"I dont want to know"

G|----------------------4--2--4----------------------------------|
D|-----4--2--4---------------------------------------------------|
A|--2---------4------2-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------2-4----------------2------------------------------|

"Fi -na-ly baby"

G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------2--4-4----------------2--4-4----------------------------|
A|--2-2-------------------2-2------------------------------------|
E|--------------2-2-2-----------------2-2-2----------------------|

Sounds good to me! Thanks for that! :thumbsup: Seriously, I'm so excited. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for FM bass tabs. I never found anything for my favourites, like Sisters of the Moon, I'm So Afraid, etc. so I tried transcribing them myself... and failed. :o

As a bassist, Fleetwood Mac is definitely one of my favorite bands to play along to. I mean does it get any better than the tag that leads in to the guitar solo in "The Chain"? John is not a "showy" bassist but I think that the steady parts he contributed were really what made some of the Mac's big hits. Can you imagine "Dreams" minus that pulsing bass line? Ok I need to stop with the hero worship but who wouldn't want to be John McVie?

If anyone has the tab for "Sisters of the Moon" or "Sara" I would be much obliged if they would post it.:thumbsup:

I've seen two different Sara tabs. Haven't really played them, so I don't know how accurate they are.

-----------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------|
----------5-7-77-77-77-2-3-33-33-3-5-55-55-5-7-------|
-3-33-33/5-------------------------------------5-7-3-|

And there's this one transcribed by a Finnish dude - AFAIK there are no FM songs called Jada; I'm guessing this is a translation error.

Do you guys ever look at the tabs of FM songs that have been published professionally over the years?

All of the ones I've seen only include guitar and/or piano.

I cant understand that jada one at all :D
doesnt seem to bear any similarity to sara.

i tend to make it up as i go along on sara. I would play on the verses:

"Drowning ..."..............."in the sea of love"..............."where everyone".............."would love to drown"

Code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------0-3-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--3--1--1-1--1-1--1-0-1--3--3-3--3-3---

----1--1-1--1-1---1--1-3-------------------------------------------------------------

I've looked at several of the songs that have been transcribed professionally over the years. Usually they are just piano, guitar and vocal. It would be awesome if they would include the bass part though.

Thanks for the "Sara" tabs. I love that song. I sing it to my sister, Sarah, all the time and it annoys her to no end. I've always wanted my band to do it but we've never gotten around to it. Oh well, maybe someday....

I'd love to see one for I'm So Afraid, Sisters of the Moon, Oh Daddy.. and for pre-Rumours: The Ghost, Jewel Eyed Judy, Hypnotized... ah... :distress:

I have searched the world for a bass tab of Hypnotized! My friend and I were digging through some old records one day and put on Mystery to Me. When Hypnotized came on we were absolutely blown away. I download the MP3 and we must have listened to that 80 times that day. Good Times...:)

Hah, yeah, I'm trying to figure out what song it's supposed to be! :shrug:

Just finished playing some IDWTK; here's how I play the entire song:

Chorus
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----4--2--4----------4--2--4----------------------------------|
A|--2---------4------2-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------2-4---------------2-------------------------------|

And sometimes I change it to:

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----4--2--4----------4--2--4----------------------------------|
A|---2---------4------2------------------------------------------|
E|-0-------------2-4-------------2-------------------------------|

Verse/Finally baby...
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------2--4-4~---------------2--4-4----------------------------|
A|--2-2-------------------2-2------------------------------------|
E|--------------2-2-2-----------------2-2-2----------------------|
