#Song: This Train Don't Stop There Anymore                                     #
#Artist: Elton John                                                            #
#Elton and Barry Turpin have come up with some gems over the years and this one# 
#is no exception. Elton John's bassist I think has been with him since the     #
#early days and he comes up with some great sh*t. The thing that caught me     #
#about this bassline is the taseful nature of it, which I guess is the kind of #
#playing style I'm trying to adopt as completly as possible. This is a great   #
#example of a bassline which is melodic and builds with an equal amount of     #
#emotional fury as the other insturments but holds the rhythm but adds in-     #
#valuably to the melody.                                                       #
#                                                                              #
#                               ENJOY                                          #
