Bilbo Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 [quote name='The Funk' date='Jun 18 2008, 03:53 AM' post='221071'] Miroslav Vitous is a great bassist, when he's at home (in the Czech Republic I believe) or anywhere else. Wasn't he in Weather Report before Alphonso Johnson and Jaco? /quote] Vitous was the first bass player in WR - he is known primarily as a double bass player but he did tinker with the electric for a while. And, yes, your role does count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 re. Steve Harris, I've read interviews where he says he writes the main guitar parts on his songs too.....which would explain why so many Iron maiden songs are stuck in that same C, D, Eminor progression with the twin harmony guitars over it.....

SteveO Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Me You thought it was hard teaching a guitarist how to play a riff propperly? try getting 25 different people to play what [i]you [/i]want instead of what they [i]think [/i]you want (or what [i]they [/i]want) Although you do get to put on a sarcastic voice and ask them to play what's on the page, if it's not too much trouble [edit] I write orchestral music if it isn't obvious [end edit] Edited June 18, 2008 by SteveO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey D Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Bilbo...no Steve Swallow! Shame on you. Also: Gary Willis (programs and writes a lot of the parts especially on albums like Actual Fiction) Jean Baudin (For solo bass composition) Wasn't Sammy Nestico originally a bassist?! He's probably composed more than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
