Title: New Sound Cloud - the Beatles' Come Together arranged for solo bass
Post by: karl on March 06, 2012, 02:22:31 PM
Hi guys,
 
Here's an arrangement of The Beatles' classic, 'Come Together', that I did for funky solo bass. That's my Stanley Clarke Deluxe you can hear there! Hope you like it!

Nice version..makes me want to record some more but I can't program drums to save my life, will most probably use set sequences
Again, nice and funky!

Very nice karl. Great to hear 'slap' technique being used musically instead of the usual percussive noise we're used to down at the local guitar shop.

Have listened to this a few times...it is outstanding!
what about a list of tunes that we could record as solo pieces..anyone giving any suggestions..I am thinking of some right now..
Pity it couldn't be a tongue in cheek competition with a small prize..just a thought

I'm psyched that people are posting in the Alembic Players soundcloud group!
 
Just a note, though, that soundcloud is clear that copyrighted material needs the proper permissions. It's probably kind of a gray area, but I prefer to upload 100% original material.

Hello Harry,  that is important information . Thanks!  
Therefore  to my understanding of your statement uploading cover tunes is____    non-compliant or a grey area____without permission. Do I understand correctly?

Hey Wolf, I got your message but haven't been able to respond - it's been a long couple of days!

Just a note, in no way am I putting down the cover performances that have been posted - in fact they are amazing! Just a heads-up on the potential copyright issue.

Thanks for the comments, guys - much appreciated. And thanks for the copyright info. To be honest, I did wonder about this when I put the clip up there, but I did a few searches and realised there are millions of other such violations up there - I'm pretty sure I spotted a few uploads that were rips of the original audio, which I can understand is blatant disregard of copyright - suggesting that Soundcloud doesn't police this stuff as strongly as they seem to imply. Anyway, I figured that since I'm not making money off the recording, and I'm not making it available as a download, it was probably OK. I'll happily take it down if the Beatles' label or Soundcloud ask me to. As a recording artist myself (albeit not in the same league as the Beatles!) I would be flattered if I saw other artists posting up arrangements of my work like this. In any case, I bought a download of the Beatles' original (ashamed to say I didn't have any Beatles tracks in my record collection!) in order to listen to it and work out how I could re-arrange it. And hopefully my recording will remind people what a funky little number Come Together is and go buy the original version for themselves!
 
Now how does all this work on Youtube? I put up a video of the same performance on Youtube (http://youtu.be/i9NNfDbxjP4 (http://youtu.be/i9NNfDbxjP4)), so am I likely to get into trouble for that, or does Youtube have some other system in place whereby they pay the royalties owed to record labels in these cases? The sheer number of videos of folks in their bedrooms explaining 'This is how you play (insert copyrighted song name here)' is mindboggling - difficult to imagine that Youtube are accounting for all of these!
