Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday | James Jamerson bass cover and transcription

Motown was a huge influence on me, and probably many others due to the fantastic bass, mostly created by James Jamerson.

There is a book all about Jamerson, with many transcriptions, albeit some have errors. I purchased this book with accompanying cassette tapes. It now has CDs, or even a link to mp3s. I decided to try and transcribe a track not in the book. There are parts where its quite difficult to hear quite what note is being played. Bar 7 is the one is this track. There is a drum hit which obscures the notes. It was bars 34/5 and 54/5 that made me want to transcribe the track.
