Product Description
Lets Stay Together is a song by American singer, Al Green. It was released as a single in 1971 and later, as the first track of Al Green's 1972 album with the same title. Leroy Hodges recorded the bass, and it features similarities to James Jamerson style of playing. This transcription is based on the album version and arranged to be played on a 4-string bass with standard tuning.
This song is in the key of F major and is about 319" long. The tempo is at 102 bpm and suitable for an early-intermediate player. Do take note, at bar 16, 20, 32, 36, 54 and 58, you are required to let the F# note to ring (sustain) while playing the D note, resulting in an interval of major thirds apart, but an octave higher, which is a voicing in major tenth to be more precise. The song ends in a fade-out manner, so, I have transcribed similarly to let you to play along with the album version. If you are playing with a band, do listen to the live version for some idea on the ending.
This transcription includes 3 parts ; 1)both notation and TAB (4 pages) 2)notation-only (3 pages) 3)TAB-only (3 pages). I made these options available for any bassist with different preferences. I know we are unique, as I am a bassist as well.
