Of course, you can play the bass parts on a regular guitar- fretting and tuning is the same- its just one octave lower on a bass. I kept having trouble finding the right key for the vocal. Start on a 'd'. Here's the melody for the first line: d c b b d c b b d c b b a b g Take off my shield carry my sword I won't need it any more Any comments/improvements, etc. welcome. Now go find yourself a bass player! Nic Nic.Boulton@mercury.co.uk
