need help with a bass part 2006-03-10 16:05:39


i'm tryin' ta transcribe the bass and drums for thriller by micheal jackson 'cause i wanna do a metal cover of it. but that dam bridge before the third verse is insane and i can't get the bass anywhere near right. would anybody mind doin' if for me? i'll give you credit for sure and transcriptions of midis don't help either 'cause i tried to see if it would. damn micheal jackson and his insane bass parts of musical genius!

do you want the music in note form, like a tab?
