This is a detailed note-for-note transcription of Jeff Berlin’s fusion arrangement of “Tears in Heaven” – even including the little vocal part near the end. While this piece of bass extravaganza sounds daunting, it is surprisingly easy to learn most of the basic arrangement, and it will most likely teach any bass player new options for chord voicings all over the fretboard. Enjoy!
