Bassist: Kelly Groucutt
Year: 1979
Album: Discovery
Playstyle: pick | All vids show picks

So, this song isn't too hard to play, but I do really enjoy it. It's another one of those I've heard a lot on the radio here in Houston, and so covering it brings me another step closer to being able to just play along to the radio (one of my several dreams that I have with the bass). Recording it wasn't so easy. I had tons of issues. First off, I start to record it, and then I get a good take, only to find out that the recording didn't even start. Then, I did a few more, got one I liked, only to find out that the song recorded and the bass didn't! So then I did a few more, and recorded it, but I realized my E string had gone slightly out of tune, so I retuned and did a few more takes, only to realize as I was putting it together I had a couple mistakes in my tab. I fix those and then finally get the performance that you see in front of you. Lots of silly little things that usually aren't an issue, but sometimes you just have one of those days.

I had a hard time finding any shows that show Kelly. The music video shows 3,5,7, but the third video linked below shows an open A for 3-0-2. Because of the difficulty level of the song, I'm taking the liberty to use the open A string in my tab throughout the song

The gallop pattern is where I've tabbed it. If you listen to the the song, you don't hear the octave lower that everyone likes to do (but feel free to do it)

   • Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me ...  
0:42 - not open string

   • ELO - Don't Bring Me Down Live 1986 Stereo...  
throughout seems to show not an open string
2:27 - downstrokes, and 5 on E. This is not Groucutt though

   • JEFF  LYNNE'S & ELECTRIC  LIGHT ORCHESTRA-...  
1:09 - 5 slide 7
3:13 - closed, not open A?

   • "Don't Bring Me Down"  Jeff Lynne's ELO Li...  
0:25 - shows open. Hand is in position for closed right before like previous vid.
2:23 - "don't bring me down" section as a slide

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)
