Atlanta Quest Bass 2023 Transcription - “Language Arts”

This video is from Atlanta Quest’s 2023 Bassline and I tried to transcribe it as best as I could. The original video isn’t mine, but the transcription is.

Here’s the link to the sheets:

Really humbled to have someone transcribe this. You're a real one. Btw I'm bass 1 and I wrote this along with the rest of BAQ😊

[rlx_phoenix]

the 4 and 5 5-let hand to hand thing makes me want to do unspeakable things. it's so freaking good!

[JBMayton]

BAQ has seen this and says close attempt! 8/10

[BlaineKleinMusic]

So cool! It's got groove and chops. Nicely done.

[TylerDunphy]

This was insane to hear in person. Blew my mind that a bassline can make sounds like this

[rinzfxp]

the buzz roll gave me PERMANENT STANK FACE

[JackofCubes]

AYO! My school bought these uniforms for our 2024 season lol thats so cool. I was bass 6 Mars Indoor Percussion. Yall should look up our show it was pretty cool last year.

The + of count 3 in measure 18 should be bottom bass, not top but aside from that it’s a great transcription

[thisriceiswhite]

1:27 I believed I would never hear anything like that 5-let.

[Tacotasty]

Something about measure 32-39 that really tickles my brain

[evanconnelly]

I always wondered how they did the stick trick at the end, how in the world do they rotate the mallet around one finger?

[Inspadave]

Is writing the bass parts (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) out A-C-E-G-B instead of F-A-C-E-G what is done these days?

[THEnelsonbruhs]

you didn't mark the muted notes







ANGERY

[DirtyUnisons]

0:35 Imagine playing a unison so poorly that some kid thinks its a buhguhduh HOLY

[MikhailFederov]

All that effort just to be inaudible against the rest of the band
