Recommended Posts

A chap i follow on youtube recently posted this video. Ive been a fan of the 100 guitar riffs, and can always watch it when im bored and enjoy it. And i was wondering if there was ever going to be a bass one. I dont think i managed to find one, but this chap Davie504 posted this up, and i think its excellent. He manages to nail them all spot on. Just thought id share really.

That was fun but: It shows how insignificant the later Jamiroquai bass lines are. And he gets the Super Freak bass line wrong and labels it 'U Can't Touch This'. Which is unforgivable. I haven't listened beyond that point.

Edit: I listened a bit further and realised he's learned a lot of these tunes from tab and not actually listened to the originals at all. Pretty poor. I wouldn't go as far as to chop his fingers off but if he put his fingers in front of me and begged me to do it I probably would. And he probably should.

I once learned 'Canned Heat' for an audition.
In my opinion the bass line is needlessly busy and complicated given its overall contribution to the song.

He has also changed the key to some of them although that doesnt seem to have made a difference. Apart from The Beatles "Rain" should be played at the 12th fret. :)

10th fret surely? :)
