funkgod Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1371258938' post='2111932'] The band was average at the best. [/quote] no, Holly had a great voice, no doubt. Mark O'Toole was a very good bass player and good guitarist as well ped was solid tight drummer. marks lines on WTTPD are well played and just CLASSIC, They loved music, loved playing live, young, arrogant, self opinionated, crass, careless, looked good fresh powerfull and positively buzzing with vibrance all the ingredients for a great band. as a band i thought they were epic, i cant even imagine what music they would be doing now if they had stayed together, but im sure it would have had a massive impact on music direction.

toneknob Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1371299727' post='2112280'] Funny you have posted this track - I have been trying to play this bassline and getting it wrong for nearly thirty years now . It's harder than it first appears . Great line from as very capable player . I once heard Trevor Horn say that Mark O'Toole was a clever player , and this track really shows that . [/quote] The main groove is transcribed here: [url="http://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=31"]http://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=31[/url] - looks good to me. And yes it's harder than it sounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
