Anyone got tab for Flight of the Bumblebee (E9 or C6)? My band would like to use it as a warm-up tune and I'm feelin' too lazy to transcribe it.

Jim, that’s not really the version you want. What you want is the Bumble Boogie.

Here’s the original version of that: Bumble Boogie original

Here’s a version with liberties, but that really swings: Swinging Bumble Boogie

And of course, the incomparable: Liberace Bumble Boogie

I actually have the sheet music to this in my piano bench. My Dad, the Mississippi Methodist Preacher, could play it at speed. At my peak, I could stumble through it haltingly at half speed.

I’m working on the tab for you, but the first version will be for uni. Then I’ll work out your D10 version. You will play the bass line on C6 and get the high stuff simultaneously on E9. If you get tired of waiting, come on over and finish it yourself. Shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

I'm thinking this is to fiddlers on the pops classics circuit what "Arnge Blossom Spacial" is to fiddlers on the bluegrass circuit.

Jeff, thanks for the link, but that one's in Japanese. I can't play in Japanese.
