Shockwave Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Hey guys. Another quick vid. Just learnt the two bass parts from Sister Sledges - Hes the Greatest dancer. One of Bernard Edwards finest moments. Of course i had to use a BC-Rich eagle like the man himself The tones nearly nailed, Though you couldnt tell from the Camera Mic! I believe Bernard at this point was playing Musicmans. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGxtQmlHmLo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGxtQmlHmLo[/url] let me know what you think! Rob.

stonecoldbass Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hey Rob, Great tune, nice tone as well. However, I would say that overall you're playing quite far behind the beat, especially on the 16th note runs. Good effort tho! I think that Bernard is probably one of the hardest bassists to emulate, his flowing lines are just so personal to his style. Lots to learn from his parts tho, especially about note length and rests. keep it up! craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The thing with Bernards playing is learning to play very far behind the beat which you've nailed pretty good, but when he plays fill ins or faster parts they tend to drive a bit. I guess in terms of feel you could say that when he wants to play with a lower profile he's more laid back and when he wants to attract a bit of attention he drives a bit. Not bad work though, I've heard a LOT worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_MaN Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Listening to the track it sounds like your playing it wrong. I think it should go - G-------------------------------------------------H--------- D----------------------------------------3--4--4-5--x------- A-------5------3--3--3----3--4--5-5-------------------5----- E--3-------6------------------------------------------------6--- For the first bit. The G after the F# as a hammer -on Edited July 17, 2008 by E_MaN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
