Joe Walsh Rocky Mountain Way Bass Cover with Notes & Tab

Link to download the bass score: tinyurl.com/yy...
The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get is the second album by Joe Walsh and his band Barnstorm, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music), although the album's front cover (right) credits only Walsh. It proved to be his commercial breakthrough, largely on the strength of the Top 40 hit single, "Rocky Mountain Way", which helped propel the album into the Top 10.
On this album, Walsh shares the vocals and songwriting with the other three members of Barnstorm, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Vitale, bassist Kenny Passarelli, and the new member, keyboardist Rocke Grace. As a result, a variety of styles are explored on this album. There are elements of blues, jazz, folk, pop, and even Caribbean music. Source Wikipedia

Great tune to transcribe. I've always wanted this chart but was just too lazy to do it. Thanks, Constantine!

Mark Chyna Your very welcome

[@MegaMelander]

So True Sarah. If Gaffney knew the bass to such a simple song, why is he even looking it up.

[@dustintaunton3344]

Thanks again my friend.

[@zanzoloz]

Great job!

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

You're killing brother Great job

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

That should have said you're killing it brother. You always do an awesome job. I really like when you add down loadable sheet music. Keep shredding

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Thanks a bunch. cheers

[@yossarianbombardier6823]

Hey Big Fella, Love your covers and tabs and the effort you've put in to make it easy for the rest of us. I was nearly going to complain about the music notation for this, you had a G# written in the staff but it was already in the Key, but the G natural before the G# would have cancelled the sharp, so well done for making me use my brain a bit more. Thanks.

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Thanks for the feedback. Cheers

[@RandyFrierson]

@@ConstantineBassCovers isn't the key of E noted by 4 sharps?

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

@@RandyFrierson I was taught, Good Dogs Always Eat for the 4 sharps, giving me Key of E. I'm going back some 45 years ago since grade 9 music :)

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Sorry, did not finish, Good Dogs Always Eat Bones For Christmas, was the saying for key signatures for #'s Fat Boys Eat Apple Dumplings Going Crazy for b's

[@RandyFrierson]

@@ConstantineBassCovers I agree, just wasn't sure why the chart with the link shows 3 sharps.

[@marandadawnbarker943]

Pretty damn good!

[@tubetea]

Really like playing along with you , thanks, wish I could have had your help a long time ago. By the way, could you dig into the Nazareth albums and play the songs that never got air play.? "Let Me Be Your Dog", " God Save The South" , "Jet Lag", ...love all the old Nazareth stuff, especially the deep cuts.

[@CorySmart]

Ever tried Life’s Been Good? I’m looking for that one and it doesn’t look like anybody’s posted any bass to that one yet

[@tubetea]

Please do some of the deep cut Nazareth songs for bass, I love your videos, thanks so much for all the help you've given me while I try to learn to play. "God Save The South" off of the Boogaloo album by Nazareth " Jet Lag" off of their "Rampant" album , the deep cut Nazareth songs are the best.

[@eastportland]

Some requests for stuff I'd like to see you cover, please and thank you sooo much (and make tabs): Cars - Candy O, Godsmack - Voodoo, Tool - Ænema, Primus - Jerry Was a Race Car Driver, yea?

[@thegorg007]

Hey Constantine, great Job, I do enjoy your work. I would like to understand your setup there too if you are inclined to share. Also could you please share the TAB for this, as you have the score available, but unfortunately no Tab that I can find. again Thanks.

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Sorry George. I only worked with the notes. I did not write this out or tabbed it out. I did find this link: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/joe-walsh/rocky-mountain-way-bass-636152 take care Constantine

[@thegorg007]

@@ConstantineBassCovers Hi again, a big thanks. I have a friend who love to play this (lead Guitar) and I wanted to get it right for him. be safe.

[@jdmarino]

You notated this in 12/8 with a rest in the middle of the triplets. Could this also be thought of as swung 8ths in 4/4?

[@chrishorgan5860]

Good job Problem with tracks like this is the subtle changes g g# for example and keeping the groove going The bass is almost non existent in this track but without it the track would fall apart Nice one

[@damnyankeex1]

Thanks. Can always count on you to show us how it’s done. Check out Joe rockin it live on KZbin “Live From Daryl’s House”

[@alanbruce7]

Sorry man. The notes at the 55 sec mark are incorrect. its not interpretation. The run back down to the open E is A - G - E, not Ab as you have shown. Not a criticism, just thought viewers would like to get it right. Thanks

[@quevicular]

correct

[@BayouKid]

The score is in E major hence the 3 # symbols so Ab would be the 3rd so go Constantine

[@cheezyridr]

tell all the hater kids to kiss off, man. you did just fine.

[@c130avn]

in the pocket

[@lancecohen9950]

no tab????

[@cjtrouble]

I don't get it... No one else see's this is wrong?

[@bobgaffney9592]

Wrong....guess I'll have to put up my own video......and points are deducted....Steinberegers suck
