Brian Wroten: David Bowie’s “Lazarus” Bass Play-Along and Transcription
When I first heard David Bowie’s Blackstar, I ended up repeating the third track (“Lazarus”) more than a couple of times. I was so drawn to Tim Lefebvre’s terrific bass line on the tune.
If you agree, then Brian Wroten did us all a favor by transcribing it for us.
Follow along with the video below and Brian’s transcription.
Brian has a ton of other transcriptions available on his website too.
Dig the harmonics at the end!
Believe it or not, the “Guitar” at the beginning is Tim Lefebvre. And this whole thing is incredibly played with a pick. A buddy of mine in Orlando is friend’s with Lefebvre. Such an amazing bassist.
