JamesPrestonUK's Workshop

[JamesPrestonUK]

Currently in production - "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" by The Temptations and the bassline for "Piece of my Heart" by Janis Joplin. I'd had "Piece" half done for a while now, but as the guitar version has appeared, I thought it only fair to provide the bass version too.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Unless anyone gets there before me, I've got "Every Kinda People" by Robert Plant ready for testing, and there might just be "Speed of Life" by David Bowie if everything goes well.

[JamesPrestonUK]

This week I've discovered that Bat Out Of Hell isn't as impossible as I'd thought. Watch this space.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Bat Out Of Hell was 95% synced, and then Go Playalong crashed! I was not impressed, I can tell you. Still, at least it's looking like I'll have it finished this weekend now.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Right, that's all the Grace Jones tracks I'd got in mind done. Next is something by the wonderful Sundays which those of you who remember the catchphrase "that's you, that is" should know.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Pull Up To The Bumper by Grace Jones has been requested. Unfortunately the only tab I can find is hopelessly wrong, so this is going to be another one I have to do by ear. Luckily it's not that complicated so let's see what happens in the coming days...

[JamesPrestonUK]

Yay! I finally found a decent looking tab for "No Such Thing" by John Mayer. All current production has been stopped :-)

[JamesPrestonUK]

Just completed Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. There was a version of this uploaded here, but it wasn't very accurate and as it has gone, I thought I'd finish the version I'd been working on before I was beaten to it. There's a couple of dodgy notes in it, and as I know that some players get upset if customs aren't 100% spot on accurate, I'll find them and fix them in due course. 

[JamesPrestonUK]

Inspired by @@Elara's posting of An Emotional Fish's "Celebrate", I'm working on something from the same era now. This should be ready for release sometime over the weekend.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Ok - Wild Sunshine by Spitfire is up. I've had another look at the ending to Pull Up To The Bumper, but it's still as mental as I remember it. Fingers crossed for some inspiration to chart it in the coming days/weeks/months.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Julian Cope's World Shut Your Mouth is custom #312. Check out my WIP page here for what's coming up.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Sister Moon by Sting and Dear Miss Lonely Hearts by Philip Lynott added.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Added two Mock Turtles tracks yesterday, and have just posted "I'll Fly For You" by Spandau Ballet. Let's see how long it is before someone comes along, nicks the customs without asking or providing any feedback, "improves" them and then uploads a duplicate copy....

[JamesPrestonUK]

Added Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & The Pips. Next up if it works out is Love Is The Law by The Seahorses.

[JamesPrestonUK]

"Born of Frustration" by James and "Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde" by The Damned added.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Coming soon... oh hang on I need approval first!

[JamesPrestonUK]

Whilst I wait - I'm not even sure I did the video thing right anyway, I'm working on Visions of You by Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart (featuring Sinead O'Connor). If you aren't familiar with the tune, here it is: 

[JamesPrestonUK]

Someone has requested the bass part for "Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag. Let's give it a go!

[JamesPrestonUK]

New additions:

 

Duran Duran - Lonely In Your Nightmare

Japan - Quiet Life

Japan - Halloween

Japan - Swing

[JamesPrestonUK]

Simply Red - Sad Old Red added. Money's Too Tight (To Mention) on the way I hope.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Simply Red - Money's Too Tight (To Mention) added

[JamesPrestonUK]

Japan - Sons Of Pioneers  added. This needs work on the harmonics all the way though, so given enough interest I'll sort this out. To be honest it's a bit of a yawn (7 minutes of the same riff) but as practice on fretless, it's not bad.

[JamesPrestonUK]

Deacon Blue - Fergus Sings The Blues  and Traffic - Paper Sun added. Not sure what to do next. A bit of Duran Duran? Some Marc Almond? Hmmm. Decisions, decisions....

[JamesPrestonUK]

Marc Almond won - here's Tears Run Rings

[JamesPrestonUK]

Two more Police tracks added - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and Hungry For You.

 

Almost completed Murder By Numbers. Just got the mad bit at the end to work out.
