MINUTE BY MINUTE-(Bass Cover) Michael McDonald | Tiran Porter’s Basslines

1️⃣ 🎸 0:00 The first half of the video has the bass track with light compression and flanger.
2️⃣ 🎸 1:25 The second half is the same take, but only the D.I. track w/no FX.

1️⃣ 🎶 0:00
The 1st transcription with the music, has corrections on screen. The added Grace notes at the top with the (*) above them, are grace-notes that I added while I was playing the track and are not on the original studio recording. 

2️⃣ 🎶 1:25
The 2nd DI track has the updated bass clef notation.


There’s not much I can say about this BEAUTIFUL Michael McDonald classic, that you probably don’t already know.
—✨I must however admit that I’m NOT positive that the bass part was indeed played with a pic, but I do know that Mr. Porter frequently dawned a plectrum as in this video’s thumbnail pictur of him, and many Doobie Brothers tracks sound very much as if the bass guitar was played with a pic.

💬Feel free to let me know what ya think.
