Duran Duran Bass Tabs

I've been using Audacity (freeware from SourceForge.net for sound editing) to help with figuring out a bass line for about two years now. For me, it has really helped in two ways: I can slow down a song without changing pitch (using Change Tempo under the Effects tab) and I can make the bass line more easily heard (using the Low Pass Filter under the Effects tab). In fast passages with lots of notes, being able to slow the song down has allowed me to figure out the notes much, much faster (and more correctly), and attenuating the frequencies above what the bass produces makes the bass line stand out. There are more things you can do to get better or faster at figuring out a bass line: develop a bit of understanding of musical theory (scales, relationship among scales, common ear-pleasing intervals); research the song (have a look at other tabs for the song if there are any - helpful even if only part of the song or partially correct); and especially, check for sheet music. For some songs, you can have a free look on- line at the first page of the sheet music, from which you can learn what scale the song is (careful here - often different versions in different keys) in as well as timing signature, what notes are played, and how they are arranged in measures. Starting from scratch, when there is no sheet music or tab to work from, this is the part (figuring out what key the song is in, the timing signature, and division into measures) that really eats a chunk of time, at least for me. Another thing that is sometimes helpful (but not always) is letting your tuner 'listen' to the song. It can help in figuring out what is being played.
