  1. why bother with the english language at all ,, ??
  2. as long as it does not land on clown world head ;D
  3. yeah , flamenco players are perhaps the most under estimated players out there ,, tho its not my job to surf millions of videos ,its your job guys , i found one from 1968 ,, its right, in terms of the history event, fashion etc,, the key to the blog is,,, no one really takes any notice of slap until 1980 ,, its 1980ish when we 1st see videos explaining the method ,, thus people who do not remember the 1970s & 1960s (even the 1980s possibly 1990s) have distorted view, they think Larry Graham & Louis Johnson were household names & everybody knew about slap ,, the 2nd key to the blog is,, obviously jagger is showcasing the slap method ,, a method that came from the streets,, dark corners ,, but yet today it is taught alongside classical music ,, the history of slap is not easy ,, thanks
  4. the blog is not on who invented slap ,, 1362 sounds great ,, the blog is to find the earliest movie / film footage ,, ps i hope you have a license for that hot dog stand ;D thanks
  5. yet the above video of larry "explaining" how to slap is from 1980 ,,, in fact there are no videos of any funk "bass lessons" before that date of 1980 ,, some 20 years after larry 1st did it its one of the reasons why i am doing this binary blog ,, eg there isn't even really any significant footage of larry slapping at woodstock in 1969 its not who played it ,, we all know larry invented it ,,, its when was it 1st recorded visually so far its 1968 ,, checkmate ,, thanks
  6. yep ,, this tune is quoted by many ,, nevertheless am certain it was recorded some years after 1968 ,, thanks
  7. yes ,, think most know about double bass slap ,, tho admit i do wear my jealous hat ,, when i see some of those rocker billys slap ,, still 1968 ,, yet a great video from 1955 ,,, amazing guitarist ,,, he did everything but pop & slap
  8. not sure ,, the above guy called musicbassman called out the name ,, i just took it for granted , forgetting louis johnson got most of the MJ gigs ,, thanks for putting the train back on the track
  9. nice video ,, 1 million % truly amazing guitarist ,, tho not actually popping nor thumbing ,, ;D 10 out of 10 for trying ,, thanks
  10. its a meme ,,, if you find the raw video of Performance ,, the movie, & listen to Jagger ,, who plays some blues tune from the abyss ,, you will note & hear Jagger clearly slaps & pops the guitar ,, its 1968 12 years before Level42 & Shakatak ,, its right,, the mission is to find anything earlier,? if not 1968 is the earliest possible year where slap was recorded visually so far , i put MJ music as a mod con over the top because that's how "the meme" materialized cheers
  11. after watching the movie i couldn't get the sound & vision out of my mind ,, when learning & uploading the above said MJ joint ,, with your extra detailed info of who recorded the bass line ( i am jamming over the top of the steve lukather bassling btw ) i had to do a meme ,, the point is Jagger is clearly slap & popping the guitar in the movie, its some kind of dark blues thing ,, yet we see the slap pop in sight the right way ,, the mission is to find any earlier footage ,, if not ,, then 1968 is the earliest slap recorded visually so far ,, cheers
  12. Decided to share out this early 1960s footage of Slap , tho not on Bass its actually on guitar , this footage goes back to 1968 from the movie Performance ,, Question ? can anyone find any earlier footage without going into rockabilly upright concert bass , cheers " B970 https://youtu.be/jJ6AjE3Gcw8
  13. think i will stay low key , bearing peeps chuck toys on the mention of level 42 & early UK slappers ,my recent post on youtube delves into the bass line good times by Chic as there are roughly 3 completely different ways Bernard Edwards could have played the tune ,thanks
  14. i do not do tabs , smoked weed once ,, but not tabs ,, if you Smoke tabs they become addictive ,, its why you get so many meth heads 😁,,, sound strange , yet the " meth head" of this madness is to remind players ,, many tab scores & notation scores are often not exact ,, they are in many cases transcripts designed by the host ,,, the only people who know the Exact bass line are the bass player of any such band the producer & engineer etc ,, they then sell a contrived score to the publishers ,,, anyway pushing that a side, The Word Girl is very subtle joint ,, going over an array of chord changes D,A.D.G tuning insures you get right onto The Beat ,,, my bass jam goes slightly beyond the bass line of the song, if you want myself to show you how i play this tune (my way ) , you now have the chance , cheers
  15. After going to the LBGS 2019 , i managed to get my 1st set of pro macus miller strings ,, stainless steel ,, more expensive than alloy , MM pro strings stainless steel less than half price i have mainly used rotosound ,, so checking these strings out was exciting ,, rotosound give you a direct sound ,, what ever you hit , you get ,, i still say a great string ,, you get a 1 to 1 ratio ,, flat steel so when i got the MM DRs i was not used to the extra dynamic ,, almost like a phantom mic sound / 1st time using a condenser mic ?? , you get a much richer sound from the strings changing the harmony of the bass ,, means i am taking longer learning bass jams because the strings lend your ear to extend the harmony in a different richer way ,, where with rotosound being a flat 1 to 1 ratio the harmony stops earlier ,, MM DRs strings makes my bass sound more dangerous than it already is ,,,, but in other bench mark tests ,,, unless i wait until the strings get older ,, do not have that flatter street funk one note sound ,, we need Marcus Miller Funk Monster strings ; D ,, eg Marcus Miller Street Jam Strings ,, all the dynamics of MM DRs ,, with just a touch of that One Note rotosound flat steel know how ??
  16. i did not make any B line to JPs circle ,, i herd he was in the public crowd early on , on Saturday ,, i stayed away ,, just in case things got too funky ; D I always say the same thing about JP when i 1st herd JP i thought he was a guitarist ,, yet JP is in fact a True bass player a master player who makes it clear in many of his lass lectures he respects the sound of street bass players a lot ,, after all slap pop and tickle was never invented in a college , finally , think some peeps on bass chat were so negative about going to LBGS ,, telling folks not to go etc ,, when i went , i completely forgot my lines ,; D , from nerves ; D eg , we should have all started jamming "On The Corner" guys ; even " Another One Bites The Dust , ( possible book marked easy bass line & guitar jam for next year) fantastic art work & lacquer on The Brain May Stand , my pick of 2019 LBGS , thanks guys
  17. i could battle the guitarist ,, i had a band it was a bit like this , i used to walk round like miles davis with the bass pointing to the floor and sounded like a working digging the road up ; D
  18. i never knew that, and i never herd ,, i guess the chat on bass chats site was so negative Before the bash ,, we all forgot our lines when we Went ;D well, i never saw any events at the bash ,, unless its TM Stevens eg someone who wears the same pockets , paul turner ? , i let them do their own thing ,, it must have been a slightly bigger gig for gales tho ,, to know people who were round at the same time & place as hendrix ,, were in the bass corner ; D ,, i guess gales could feel it # maybe he could do with a touch of the funk monsters in his world # ps Gallien-Krueger and Warrick had it all sewn up guys thanks
  19. never stayed for the pub bash ,, just in case poachers were hiding behind the stage ,,, bearing in mind when it happened at the jazz cafe ( being attacked on stage ) they were waiting & hiding back stage ( behind the curtains ) if people want to see me on bass The LBGS is a safer environment thanks guys
  20. the brian may stand ,, it includes a brian may bass ?? ,, yeah it a marketing bash for music / musicians like yourself ,,
  21. oh right a bit ,, well ? i have just got back from The LBGS it was ,,,,,,, ??? drum roll ,,,,,,, just like the previous bashes ,, with less pressure on noise due to it being in a large beautiful victorian building ,, 100% sad not to see Rotosound there tho ,, i still say they do the best strings ,,,, i met one of the bass chat organizers in "The Bass corner" with a few bigger name bass players ,, so thumbs up ,, the guitarists never stood a chance l )) not so many ott weird expensive basses on the stands this year ,, i thought the " Brian May " stand stood out ,, fantastic guitars ,, and with bass " Oliver Lang " Anaconda " and a small Dutch stand " Roks " it was getting funky in that area of the bash ,, quote by a bass chat host ,, as the bass corner Gallien Krueger had it all sewn up and Warrickt too ,, the warrick stand was on the other side ,,, & finally Fender was back but only for guitars ,, fender gives you the official bash vibe , And" Dave Swift was there ; D ,, great guy ps he was the guy who told me about the LBGS bash way back in 2010 ? thanks guys
  22. ; D Breaking News mildland bass player Pulls out of the quote " norf landan " bash and wants to know what its like before going ,,,, ?? ?? are you jasper carrot ; or Dave Swift ; D ,, a bit ,,, ?? ; D ps if you are Lenny Henry ,, you would probably have to wait until the pub bash gets going ,, before anyone wants to hear you sing ,, thanks man
  23. that is how / why i joined Bass Chat ,, i always see the hosts at the LBGS ,, really nice people ,, great levels of details on the show / Bass / Music , they asked me numerous years to join their site after getting a Bass Chat tag holder ,i joined ; )
  24. sorry to hear it ,, tho i guess i would be the same if it was say, a jam session bash ,, cool feet ,, stage fright ?? ,,, i call it stage sickness = after 3 mins i get bored " even tho i don't believe in boredom ,, yes i live so close i could take a long morning walk to get there ,, well ? we will report back in a few hours ,, a thumbs up thumbs down report as this could be The last LBGS ,, maybe the 1st LBGS in its new format ,, ; ) ps with all those long hair guitarist turning up ,, i am taking Flea Spray
