Great, another reason to drop the Sky subscription

I've got to the end of the first section (page 20-ish onwards), and it kind of feels like I'm playing endless almost-chromatic lines, missing out the odd note for a whole note step here and there. Anyone else?

If it helps you as a seller I'd buy the Bruce Thomas if I had to buy one (hypothetically of course)

Turns out the answer is on page 21. We're in the key of C now and the ii-V pattern is Dm7-G7. Same thing is happening though, we're descending through the ii and there's no space for a passing tone between beat 3 of the ii chord and beat 1 of the V chord. (This time it's C and B, previously it was Bb and A). GW says "you can see the direction has to be interrupted since a passing note is not possible between C and B", and he plays D Db C Bb, then B A G Gb as the first four beats of the V chord. So back to my original question, there's no space for a passing tone between the Bb of the Cm7 (the ii chord) descending to the A of the F7 (the V chord), so the descending pattern has to be interrupted. So the answer is Ab - I'd play Eb C Bb Ab, then A F A Bb.

Thanks, what I meant was specifically about Cm7 to F7, starting on the m3 of the Cm7 and descending with three chord tones then a passing tone. Eb, C, Bb, then what? (carrying on the descending motion to a chord tone of F7)

Question for the nascent GW students (or indeed those more experienced). I'm doing the lesson on page 13, Passing Tones, playing three chord tones then a passing tone to the next chord tone of the following chord (looping around Cm7 - F7). Say I'm starting on the third of the minor 7 chord, then descending. So that's Eb, C, Bb. What's my next move? Either 1. another Bb then A on the downbeat (although the Bb is "wasted" to borrow from the terminology on page 14), or 2. G (which is another chord tone of Cm7, so no passing note here) then down to F for the downbeat? I imagine the answer is "whatever sounds good" or "it depends". Curious as to your feelings about it though.

Luminol is great (instrumentally anyway - I find the lyrics a bit cringe). It's as if SW was doing a Bond theme.

Did someone mention Chuck Sher's Bass Soloing Concepts here? My copy of that arrived today. Now that'll be 2023 before it gets much of a look-in.

I'm on page 13 already!

What an awesome email harvesting set-up! (i'm in) Does each one come with a free bottle of Groslsch btw?

Did anyone mention that SW's "No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun" has a jaunty 21/8 time sig? Have some Marco. And everyone else in the best line-up of this band... (edit: oh wait soz, no Guthrie)

I wish I had the money to buy one (and then buy something else)

Olias is more Yes than a lot of Yes tbh

Loved it! Looks a bit dated now though.

The other tracks - probably on youtube - with Jon Anderson are great too - Roundabout, State Of Independence (my favourite of the bunch), Heart Of The Sunrise, Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Banjo player name of Steve Hackett appears at some point as well.

Thanks! Well done for guessing, no one else got her. Distinctive basses was the order of the day, and she fit the bill perfectly. Actually, tonefact - I met her once at a friends house party. A highlight of the evening was her organisation of a ladies rugby scrum demonstration in the kitchen.

Mohini Dey - definitely a Mayones, although she's been seen with a Comodous Classic more recently ( https://mayones.com/page/mohini-dey-ind/) Anthony Jackson - I think it's the Fodera Presentation II pictured ( https://www.fodera.com/anthony-jackson-presentation-ii/ ) Joe Dart - Music Man Joe Dart signature bass ( https://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/joe-dart ) Debbie Googe - First Act Delgada ( https://equipboard.com/pros/debbie-googe ) Geddy Lee - custom build seafoam green Fender Jazz, if http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/80373-basses-used-on-clockwork-angels/ is to be believed - any more info on this one? Mike Gordon - Visionary Instruments Moiré bass ( https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/26924-mike-gordon-hooks-bass-lines-and-thinkers ) Pino Palladino - Music Man Stingray Fretless (probably this one https://thebassgallery.com/products/music-man-stingray-fretless-1979-ex-pino-palladino ) Lauren Tahiel - Music Man Stingray HH 5 string ( https://australianmusician.com.au/lauren-taneil-lt-in-the-key-of-bey/ ) Jimmy Haslip - Roscoe LG-3006 ( http://www.roscoeguitars.com/endorsers/endorsers.html - see below for youtube link) Billy Sheehan - Yamaha Custom Shop Attitude Double Neck ( https://www.billysheehan.com/gear/instruments_09.html) Sting - fretless 8-string Hamer Explorer ( https://www.fretlessbass.com/stings-8-string-hamer-explorer-fretless-bass-the-police/ ) Ida Nielsen - Sandberg California VM4 Hardcore Aged (http://www.idanielsenbass.com/signature-bass/) Stu Hamm - Fender Urge custom bass - one of many in an ongoing series Jack Casady - Epiphone Jack Casady LP Signature Bass ( https://www.epiphone.com/Guitar/EPI8IY78/Jack-Casady-Bass/Metallic-Gold ) Chris Wolstenholme - Status Kitara Doubleneck ( https://www.musewiki.org/Status_Kitara_Doubleneck_Bass )

Ding ding, we have a full set. Good work team! Top row is Mohini Dey, Anthony Jackson, Joe Dart. Then Debbie Googe, Geddy Lee, Mike Gordon Pino, Lauren Taniel, Jimmy Haslip Billy Sheehan, Sting, Ida Nielsen Stuart Hamm, Jack Casady, Chris Wolstenholme Bit of controversy around Lauren Taniel. Search for Divinity Roxx and you'll find the picture I originally used, and indeed same pic can be found on DivRx's Discogs page (https://www.discogs.com/artist/3018244-Divinity-Roxx). It is definitely Lauren Taniel of up and coming starlet Beyonce Knowles band. Well done everyone!

Yesshows > Yessongs if you ask me (I know you weren't but anyway)

Get Relayer if you want to hear something awesome Avoid Topographic Oceans. Well, maybe except one time.

All of them are none of John Entwistle, James Jamerson, Kim Gordon/Deal

Badly

He can be a bit careless in that respect.
