Lfalex v1.1 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Everyone focusses on rhythm! And rightly so, too! Few of us seem to consider guitar/bass interplay. I personally like the way some "String Sections" manage to avoid stepping on each others' toes, as it were. To wit; Dave Navarro / Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction) John Frusciante / Flea (RHCP) Andy Summers / Sting (The Police) Larry Lalonde / Les Claypool (Primus) Gary Sanford / Graham Maby (Joe Jackson) Note that I didn't include Navarro / Flea RHCP combo. They are both super in their own right, but fell all over each other on the "One Hot Minute" album. C'mon! Gimme some more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 80's, it was Phil Mitchell (no not him out of Eastenders!) Nowadays Wilko's bass player is of course-Norman Watt-Roy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Not that I claim to know anything in particular, but I like the way that Keith Strickland mixes his guitar with (nowdays session) bass players and keyboard bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnylager Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Tom Holliston / Rob Wright - Nomeansno, Hanson Brothers Bernie Torme / John McCoy - Gillan Blackmore / Glover - Deep Purple +1 for Larry & Les, even though Larry sounds like he's playing a solo to the wrong song half the time +1 Pete & John too.

Bilbo Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wayne and Jimmy Johnson (no relation) in the Wayne Johnson Trio. Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Berlin on 'Road Games' - the last decent thing JB did. John Scofield and Steve Swallow - play with the same guitarist for 30 years and see how good it sounds! Pat Metheny and Steve Rodby - Rodby is Metheny's nearly silent partner. His reticence is a perfect foil for the guitarist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Wishbone Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Justin Chancellor & Adam Jones - The interplay between these two is amazing. I love listening to them twist and morph riffs from one section to the next. Tim Commerford and Tom Morello - In total unison during their riff-tastic moments and each compliments the other's playing so well when they're both off doing their own thing. +1 for John Frusciante/ Flea and Dave Navarro/Eric Avery.

Alun Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Vai and Sheehan in the David Lee Roth days ( although not in Vai's solo band where it just didn't work for me) Joe Pass and Niels Henning Orsted Pederson or Ray Brown Jimmy Johnson and Allan Holdsworth Any Iron Maiden line up Cliff Burton and James Hetfield All the Motown and Stax variations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how it works with that 12-year-old VH relative playing though. Ralph Spight & Larry Boothroyd of Victim's Family. They are f***ing brilliant.
