Alun Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi all. Here's a quick clip of myself playing with the great jazz bassist [url="http://www.toddjohnsonmusic.com"]Todd Johnson[/url] at his masterclass in Cardiff in March 2008. My attempts at embedding it have failed miserably so the link is [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9nJNY7Ok44"]HERE[/url]. Cheers Alun PS If a passing mod can embed it, I'd be muchly appreciative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I really enjoyed your solo (I thought it was better than his so I had to go on his website to figure out which one you were). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modulusq6 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, some really nice playing there. I was looking on his talkbass 'ask the experts' section, and he's got a book coming out soon with his chord voicings in, that'd be a good book to buy.

paul, the Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Oohh +1 to the above. I preferred your tone too. Lovely playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Fantastic playing Alun. Lovely tone, superb choice of notes and. like urb said, great phrasing. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thank you gentlemen Mike - yes, I think I owe him a month's wages now! Paul & Rumble - thanks for the comments on the tone. I think I got lucky as I was using the 10watt Sound City amp I had with my first bass in 1988. I'm amazed it still works, let alone sounds half decent.
