    Thanks! Spend some time on it & you’ll be fine.

    Spot on! He’s so humble in that interview is he. What an awesome musician.

    I’ve made a video about Pino’s sublime fretless bass line on the intro to Paul Young’s, Wherever I Lay My Hat. Pino quotes an interesting source for part of the melody. Anyone know who that source is?

    Quite possible there are some more C#s in there as it is the third of the chord. Well spotted if so!

    I understand this, I often just play my own thing when playing covers! Glad you enjoyed the video.

    In this video I break down the bass line from ‘Already Gone’ by The Eagles. This song is classic Country Rock and features Randy Meisner on bass. There is the classic country root/5th feel in the verse & a Blues type riff in the chorus. As usual you can download a free PDF with standard notation or Tab. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/kIQa8xIYORw

    Thanks for all your comments, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I now have a massive list of new Blues bass players to check out which is great. if anyone else reads this thread, then please let me know other Blues bass players that might have been left off the list. cheers

    Thanks, great stuff.

    Oh yes! I did use to listen to that album a lot at one time. Again I had completely forgotten about it. I agree that Pino should go down as one of the greats. He is so versatile and class in every genre he plays.
  11. greghagger
    Agreed!!

    Interesting point there. Maybe the bass players were better known from the live scene rather than albums.

    He’s playing more notes than the guitarist 😂

    Thanks for those @Steve Browning

    Love Danny Thompson too, wasn’t aware of Russel Jackson by name so that’s one for me to research.

    Excellent, thanks I had forgotten about Roscoe. Saw him in the mid 90s with Robben Ford and I loved that gig.

    @chris_b @Jean-Luc PickguardGreat thanks. Been looking at a Willie Dixon documentary from 1977 which I found really interesting.

    Hi bass-chatters I’m really interested in hearing who your favourite blues bass player is. Bass players often get overlooked for the more famous guitarists or singers in Blues so it would be great if any one can come up with the lesser known ones as well. I am planning a bass video course with a mixture of history and how to play Blues, and am interested in bass players right back from the upright players of the Chicago scene onwards. Thanks in advanced for your feedback and if there is anything aside from the obvious that might be good in the course then please let me know.

    I’ve been experimenting with bass overdrive for a while now and I thought I’d share my demo of the Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Pedal. This Boss pedal is one of the popular choices out there for bass distortion. In my video demo I explain the controls and play through the pedal with different settings. I also have a collection of gear reviews and bass lessons in my Youtube Gear Reviews Playlist that you might also want to check out. Hope it’s useful. https://youtu.be/kJ9uvBpaFAA

    How good is your understanding of rhythm? If you want help, read on...... This is the first video lesson in my YouTube Rhythm Series where I tackle note/rest lengths and time signatures. I also give you five rhythmic patterns to work on and drum loops to practice these with. A free PDF worksheet is available in the video description on YouTube. Any questions, then please ask, and please leave a comment if there is anything in particular with rhythm that you would like to see in future videos. https://youtu.be/HVlvc6LH3UA

    In this lesson I show you how to develop an accurate alternate picking technique on the bass. This technique is vital if you want to play properly with a plectrum. The five exercises will help you to target this area of your playing and give you the ability to pick faster bass lines. There is a free PDF with the video lesson. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/rGCz7FEuhww

    Some of you may have heard of Duck Dunn from the Blues Brothers Movie. He also played on 1000’s of classic hits for Stax Records with artists such as Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Albert King, Sam & Dave, Eric Clapton, and many more. Learn Five Classic Duck Dunn Bass Lines in this video lesson, and pick up the free PDF in the video description on YouTube. https://youtu.be/kzJ6TpeJOjA

    Along with the major scale which I covered a few weeks ago, the minor scale is just as important to know if you want to understand the basics of music theory. Knowledge of these scales will help you understand harmony, construct intervals, learn chord tones and venture into modes. This week I look at the natural minor scale. You can download the free PDF in the video description on YouTube. https://youtu.be/VtGknyYLzlU
