Bari Licks in Doctorfunk

[chsbarisaxy]

Can anyone transcribe the Bari Licks in Doctorfunks "Can't Fight the Funk" right after the vocalist says "Can't fight the funk" for the first time? How about the one in "Livin' in Bump City, the one that is repeated and then layered over?

Hey - I play bari in Doctorfunk (although I'm not the guy on the CD), so hopefully, I can answer your question :) I'm working from memory, but here goes nothing:

I'll use 0 to denote the lower octave, and 1 to denote the higher octave

Can't fight the funk:
A0 A0 A1 A0 C0 B0 A0

Bump City:
B1 B0 B0 B1 B0...B0 B0 B1 Bb1 B1 Eb0 E0....(B0) E0 G#0 A0 Bb0 (repeat)

The note in parenthesis is not on the CD, but it's how I play it.

Thank You bari much, you totally made my day! Maybe even my week, or my month! Thank you again. You walk on water. 8-)

The line from Livin' In Bump City is from Tower's Funkifize...

Sometimes it's fun to hear how Doc changes some of his lines of the years... compare the original studio with the live albums, especially somewhat recent "Soul Vaccination"

In fact on DoctorfunK's "Living in Bump City" all of the horn lines are from drifferent Tower tunes, I have still yet to figure them all out...
