Hello :) This is the requested transcription I did of The Moody Blues song "Your Wildest Dreams" from their 1986 album "The Other Side of Life". The bass player for the Moody Blues is John Lodge, but I'm sure this is a synth bass part, so I'm not sure if he played it or not?. This transcription can be found at https://www.muzento.com under Intermediate - Songs. I couldn't decide if the rhythm in the verse was a half note or two quarters with the last note being short. As you can see in the transcription, I went with two quarter notes. It adds energy and really helps give that feel for the Carlton Banks dance :) With the two quarter notes, I then had to try to to not play the short note as an accented note. I tried to keep it the same volume and intensity as the note before, just shorter. I could imagine this being a good song to play in a live band. I tried to match the note duration of what I was hearing from the synth on this video, but In a live situation I wouldn't worry too much about it. This is fun to play along with, I hope you enjoy it too :) Don't forget to like and subscribe and thanks for watching :) -------------- If you appreciate what I do and or find it helpful, I hope you might consider supporting me through the following: GregsTranscripts - https://www.gregstranscripts.com/ ** Signup to the mailing list and get notified every time there's a new transcription! https://gregstranscripts.com/#subscribe Muzento - https://www.muzento.com Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/gregfairweather or you can make a donation through PayPal at - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=W82MTF63NL3TN ------------------- Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
