found this while trawling through the underbelly of that great white whale we call the world wide web:

its an archive of guitar and bass "tabs" for all you budding smurfs out there!

Hey there, thanks for posting this! I've no idea *when* you posted - my browser says 1970, which, while amusing, is likely inaccurate. But here I am, in the murky etherweb netting, finding it today and enjoying it.

Cheers, B

Welcome Benderina.

Funnily enough I've never seen this before. Cheers Boss.

That sounds like the outcome of a mass update command

That's where you learned all your bass parts wasn't it?

Many thanks for the link, QB, (although I've seen it before iwhile trawling the underbelly of the great white and red whale we call this forum )
I've attempted both FALAA and VT and while the tabs for these are great starting points, they don't seem to be 100% accurate. Or I'm just not yet as musically competent as I'd like to be...

Whilst I'll never profess to be a good bass player, I'd say 50-60% of the songs we covered or were planning to cover were learnt by ear. It may account for the odd wrong riff here-and-there, but no-one seemed to notice so let's not tell anyone, eh?

Driven Like The Snow was a definate tabber. Burn, Lucretia, FALAA, Fix, Valentine and Alice were most definately not.

Have T'Men recruited a new singer yet ? Or are they departed or gone ?

As someone once said - Undead, Undead, Undead

Hi! Finally i've discovered a forum about a Sisters of mercy!

Someone knows the bass and guitar tabs of the wonderful On the wire?

Thanks!
dud

If you've got some sequencing software you could view a midi file of the song and work out the parts from that.
On the Wire is on this page http://www.reocities.com/SunsetStrip/Ba ... sismid.htm

e - A lot of them are crap though, whoever did that Floorshow midi needs shooting.

Welcome here, dud ... ... afaik, no tab for On The Wire does exist as yet ...

If anybody should make one, we could store it among these ...

Brilliant, cheers. Have just taken up the bass at the tender age of 48. I can play Emma and Lucretia thus far (fairly sure I've worked out Fix as well). This'll be a great aid. Thanks.

Good ones to start out on. Try Burn, Alice or Marian next.

Thanks Norm. Will give them a go. I picked up the other three pretty quickly - mind you, they're not exactly taxing. I am a complete starter though, so chuffed to be able to play anything that resembles a tune. I can also play a couple of Joy Division numbers and Public Image. Not bothered about being brilliant but I want to get to the stage where I'm confident jamming with other musicians asap.

LUFC fan? Me too. Depressing at the minute with this current sociopath running things, eh?

Does your band ever play down Laandon way?

Sadly, The Marching Men split nearly two years ago, now. The furthest south we made was Nottingham (and we have our passports stamped to prove it). Amazingly, we still get the odd new Like on our Facebook page.

Good luck with the bass, whilst I'll never profess to be a decent player (I wasn't even the best bassist in TMM), I enjoyed it for what it was - you sound the same. JD basslines are so different from TSoM in that they're at complete different ends of the neck Take the intro to Ceremony for example! You may also want to speed Emma up a bit to get... Transmission.

Good luck - any help or tips, just ask!


p.s. LUFC is the joke that keeps on giving MOT

Ah, shame the MM folded. Would have liked to have seen you play some time.
Thanks mate. There is definitely a slow, gradual improvement. I'm finding the one finger per fret rule very hard though. Need to keep practicing.

Yep, LUFC is comedy gold for anyone that doesn't support us.

That will come with time, as you build strength in your fretting hand.

Yes you bloody were

The Smurphs should be crawling out of the crypt at some point, I don't doubt
