gregordog Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Does anyone have an accurate transcription of the bass intro to "You're So Vain", (by Carly Simon w/ bassist Klaus Voorman) they'd be willing to share? Tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregordog Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Didn't know there were so many versions around. I was referring to original Carly Simon version w/ bassist Klaus Voorman. He uses a kind of rasqueado technique. Tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I don't have a recording of this song (any version of it). If I can find it, I'll take a listen tonight and see about putting together a quick transcription. I'm in a 'caring and sharing' sort of mood today for some reason.

gregordog Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 With all the talent in this forum there must be someone who has a reasonable transcription of the intro to the Carly Simon song, "You're So Vain"? It was played by Klaus Voorman and has a kinda triplet thing - almost flamenco guitar thing going on in the bass. I would almsost pay to see it written out!

jeremy c Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 This is what I hear. http://home.jps.net/~jeremy/vain.jpg Except that it's played looser (or you could say sloppier) than it's written here. Send me a check! Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me a check! Beat me to it. I actually downloaded the song last night and listened to it. Sounds like the bassist is using a pick to get that 'looser' feel (see: sloppy execution). Maybe also hitting the E in there occasionally when switching between the octave A's by mistake(?) or just as a grace note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I downloaded it, too. That's pretty much what I heard also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
