Diana - Bryan Adams - Bass Cover - Request
Hello :)
This is the transcription I did of the Bryan Adams song "Diana". It was released on the B side of his single "Heaven" from 1983. I think the bass player on this track was Dave Taylor?
This transcription can be found at www.muzento.com under Intermediate - Learning Songs subject.
I'm going to see Bryan Adams in concert next week. It should be fun :) It seemed fitting to cover one of his songs. And since I've always been a sucker for a catchy pop/rock song I enjoyed doing this one. Plus it's got a couple licks in it that I've always liked but never taken the time to learn.
This seems like a straight ahead rock tune, but there's a little more going on than just pumping the 8th notes. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a little more involved than what I first thought.
With that said, it's still a rock song. You want to get a big sound, make it drive, keep the notes fairly long, and play it like you wrote it :)
I hope you enjoy it :)

    You may have listed this in the "beginner" category but that was a a virtuoso demonstration and lesson on playing with precision and feel. There is a lot to be learned by playing relatively simple bass lines just right, and this was a great illustration/lesson. I was not in the least bit bummed out! Thank you!

I’ve been watching your channel for new bass tabs for a couple of years now, you always have the tabs down really well, better than other channels do! 👍 I am planning on creating my own bass tab channel eventually and I was wondering how you personally get your tabs right on with your cover video? I know how to play the bass precisely on rhythm with a given song, but how does one get tabs precisely synced or precisely on rhythm with a song?
