ベースの採譜 （トランスクリプション）
若いころからベース等のトランスクリプションをする事が好きです。ですが、最近までHBの鉛筆と紙とよく使われている大規模な消しゴムを使っていました。とっても痛いんですが、大事なポイントをやっと分かりました。それは、僕の手書きの採譜は僕しか読めないです。（笑）ですので、しょうがなくFinaleの譜面のソフトウェアーで綺麗にレイアウトさせる事を決意しました。

ジミー・ジョンソン：「Panic Station」(米国のBass Player 09年10月号)
アラン・ホールズワースの『Metal Fatigue』から
Any discussion of Jimmy Johnson inevitably makes mention of his outstanding work on Allan Holdsworth's 1985 album Metal Fatigue, in particular the superlative bass solo on "Panic Station," which is generally held to be among Jimmy's finest musical moments.

トム・ジェンキンソン：「Iambic 5 Poetry」（米国のBass Player 09年12月号)
スクエアプッシャー の『Budakhan Mindphone』から
Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson, the grandmaster of no-holds-barred drum & bass, takes it down a notch or ten here with an atmospheric track that features two separate and distinct bass tracks! Though this song may be slightly atypical of his overall style, it nevertheless has become a classic -- both among his fans and in the world of electronica as a whole.

ビル・チャーチ：「Wild Night」(米国のBass Player 10年01月号)
ヴァン・モリソンの『Tupelo Honey』から
Unsung low-end hero Church made the quantum leap from the backing band of folk-jazz-soul meister Van Morrison to that of stadium rocker Sammy Hagar's. Check out his moves on this 1971 four-chord belter.

ビル・チャーチ：「Jackie Wilson Said」
ヴァン・モリソンの『St. Dominic's Preview』から
Church's hard-swingin' lines perfectly complement Morrison's homage to R&B legend Jackie Wilson (while also showing how to lay down a tasteful and melodic part that fits the song like a glove).

ロバート・トゥルージロ：「Therapy」(米国のBass Player 10年02月号)
インフェクシャス・グルーヴスの『The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move』から
Though Trujillo is perhaps more widely known as the king of modern-day metal bass, many people are unaware that he can also funk it up with the best of them... Check out any of his work with Infectious Grooves if you don't believe me! .

ビリー・コックス：「Izabella」(米国のBass Player 10年04月号)
ジミ・ヘンドリックスの『First Rays Of The New Rising Sun』から
Despite the maelstrom of fame and concomitant problems that enveloped Jimi Hendrix in the late 60s and into 1970―the year of his death―he never ceased pursuing new ideas and directions, and was working on material for his fourth studio album right up until his untimely demise at the age of 27. "Izabella" was among these tracks and features a series of killer riffs driven home by Band of Gypsys' bassist Billy Cox..

クリス・スクワイア：「Going For The One」
イエスの『Going For The One』から
"Going For The One" is a quintessential Chris Squire classic. His weaving contrapuntal lines and unerring sense of harmonic conviction serve as a spine-tingling master class in melodic inventiveness for bassists of all styles.

クリス・スクワイア：「Parallels」
イエスの『Going For The One』から
Unlike the contrapuntal creation permeating "Going For The One," in "Parallels," Chris Squire spends a lot of the time locked into a solid repeating groove with drummer Alan White rather than wandering off into his own harmonic world. Indeed, certain parts of "Parallels" are groovy enough to give Bootsy himself in-the-pocket palpitations.

ジェフ・バーリン：「Tears in Heaven」
ジェッフバーリンの『Lumpy Jazz』から
Superlative solo bass piece from controversial but always-on-the-money musical maestro. Break out your strongest coffee and prepare to start counting ledger lines! ;-)

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Billie's Bounce」

Live at 『Buddy's Place』から
A straight blues outing in which AJ delivers a fine solo while pulling off some of his trademark
harmonic twists and turns as he underpins Buddy Rich's
band.

ポール・チェンバース：「Giant Steps」
ジョン・コルトレーンの『Giant Steps』から
Just when you think you've had this tune in the bag for years, someone calls it near the end of a session - you know, after you've already had a few drinks - and you realize: A) It may well have been in your bag, but maybe the zipper wasn't done up as tightly as it should have been, and B) Maybe that fourth beer wasn't such a good idea...

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Clouds」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
Though Marcus Miller and Willie Weeks also feature on Naughty, it's Anthony Jackson who steals the show with his thundering low Cs and killer grooves.
AJ pushed bass playing into new territory on the six tracks he graces on this album, not least because he played several of the songs on a four-string Fender bass tuned down two whole steps - in effect paving the way for the 5- and 6-string electric basses that are around today.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Move Me No Mountain」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
Put simply, Naughty contains some of the finest and funkiest bass playing this side of the Horsehead Nebula. This track goes some way toward explaining why...

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Nothing's Gonna Take You Away」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
This tune is fine example of what a great rhythm section can do for a fairly standard medium-ballad number, with Anthony Jackson and Steve Ferrone working their collective magic to transform the song into a driving Latin-tinged pop classic.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Too Much Love」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
A lot of people think Anthony Jackson is the only bassist on Naughty, but this isn't quite true. There are three other bassists featured: Willie Weeks, Marcus Miller and Mark Stevens (Chaka's brother).
However, this song is the only track on the album to credit two bass players, both Anthony jackson and Mark Stevens. Strange indeed...

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「All Night's All Right」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
Jackson's rock-solid bass groove provides the foundation for this track, which showcases the band's hermetically tight rhythm section and some very interesting harmony.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Our Love's In Danger」
チャカ・カーンの『Naughty』から
Jackson's nuance-packed playing on this track once requires another detail-heavy transcription. Hey don't shoot the messenger! ;-)

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「What Cha' Gonna Do For Me」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
On this, the title track of Chaka Khan's third solo album, Anthony Jackson's bass part is doubled throughout by a Moog synth. In spite of this, there's no doubt as to who's driving the low-end show. And no, it's not the Moog player ;-)

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「I Know You, I Live You」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
This at-times rhythmically explosive number is one of the most memorable tracks on the What Cha album, thanks to Anthony Jackson's measured but powerful playing and Arif Mardin's punchy horn arrangement.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Any Old Sunday」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
On this track, Jackson once again demonstrates that groove and momentum need not be sacrificed when tackling a slower-paced track, in this case, a laid-back shuffle number.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「We Got Each Other」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
As well as deviating from standard pitch by a quarter-tone, this song is also notable in that the bass player and the rest of the band seem to be grooving in different, albeit related, keys...
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Night Moods」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
Thanks to Jackson's drivingly insistent lines, this atmospheric quasi-ballad number is shot through with a powerful sense of restrained energy, which merely serves to heighten the tension generated by Chaka's often low-register huskiness, the exotic #11-based harmony, and the otherworldly, delay-soaked flute.

アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Heed The Warning」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
As well as serving as a classic example of how a great riff can build a whole song, this track also demonstrates how tiny deviations from the norm can have a subtle, but significant effect. As an added bonus, "Heed The Warning" also
contains the finest bass-related moment on the whole of this album. (Well, I think so anyway!)
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Father He Said」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
Many bassists are so keen to show off their double-thump or 11-fingered tapping technique (often during a sensitive ballad) that they forget about their main function - to support the rest of the band while being sensitive to what's happening around them.On "Father He Said," Anthony Jackson shows exactly how it should be done.
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Fate」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
For the second album in a row, Chaka's slappin' poppin' sibling Mark Stevens muscles in on Jackson's low-frequency territory, overdubbing lines that perhaps reflect the era in which the album was produced, if not the needs of the song...
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「I Know You, I Live You (Reprise)」
チャカ・カーンの『What Cha' Gonna Do For Me』から
Although there's no fresh material to speak of in terms of the bass, reprising of one of the most musically upbeat songs on the album is a great way to wrap things up.
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Love Has Fallen On Me」
チャカ・カーンの『Chaka』から
As you'd expect, a song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber doesn't quite conform to the "norms" of pop songdom. As such, this track is a study in rhythmic twists and slight-of-hand harmonic turns, with the added bonus of featuring perhaps the first recorded example of AJ's detuned Fender bass.
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「Sleep On It」
チャカ・カーンの『Chaka』から
A mid-tempo soulful funk-tinged number that benefits greatly from the contrasts between sections artfully accentuated by the killer rhythm section of Anthony Jackson and Steve Ferrone. AJ also fires off several scintillating runs that light up the track like fireworks above a tropical beach at twilight...
採譜 | コメント／分析
アンソニー・ジャクソン：「I Was Made To Love Him」
チャカ・カーンの『Chaka』から
Chaka's cover of this Stevie Wonder classic gives Anthony Jackson the chance to show that he's his own man when it comes to interpreting a track that had already been turned into something special by his idol James Jamerson. Check out AJ's masterful use of chromaticism - something that continued to flourish until it became an integral part of his style.
