mentalextra Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I watched a few of Guy’s videos and found them entertaining, especially the anecdotes. I’m not sure he’s in competition with Pino as much as he feels he is? Really surprised he got the MJ gig, not that Guy isn’t up to the job of course. I’m also amazed at some of his output. Plus I’m sure he’s writing skills and affable nature help. Sad to hear that he had a hard time on this forum, that’s very disappointing. I wish that the amazing John Giblin would do a ‘lockdown licks’ channel. His back catalogue is truly epic! Edited July 17, 2020 by mentalextra 1 Quote
ezbass Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) The B string on that Streamline is rather good. EDIT: correct model name added, thanks @Deedee Edited August 19, 2020 by ezbass 1 Quote

dave_bass5 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Nice plug for those replica basses as well. Sounded really nice. Quote

ezbass Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Disappointed by that, not by Guy, but by the choice of song, which was a popular request. As a bass part (as with most PF) it’s a bit dull IMO. I wonder what GP’s having done to his shoulder, rotator cuff perhaps? Bummer for a stringed instrument player, bummer for anyone really. Quote

There are always going to be orders of magnitudes more PF fans than any of the other groups. I do think that any of the PF songs should be easy enough to work out, although I still keep trying noto get the original bass line of One Slip to sound right Edited November 22, 2020 by Woodinblack 1 Quote
dmccombe7 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 For me Learning to Fly was interesting to hear only because of Guys fills thru the song live. He does seem to manage amazing little ad-lib fills when playing live. Dave 1 Quote
Misdee Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 I have really enjoyed all of these GP YT vids. Long may they continue! I remember seeing GP on tv for years back in the 1980's playing bass for various acts before I ever knew his name. Guy's anecdotes and insights are fascinating to me. Love his playing style, too. 1 Quote

Jonathan Noyce is the bassist on the main show, but if I recall correctly there are some bonus tracks of another year's show with Guy Pratt on bass. I think! Quote
Mickeyboro Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Much as I enjoy the series, I found this rather undistinguished... 1 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I didn’t know he played on that GM album. Just had a listen to it. Not a fan of GM’s singing. Never have been. The track above feels like it should have had Jimmy Nail singing it (I’m aware of the connection). 1 Quote
fleabag Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Also didnt know GP played with GM, and while i also cant stand GM's voice, he was a hell of an axe murderer Edited January 12, 2021 by fleabag 1 Quote

I looked up the gig he mentioned in the video on YT, are there are various performances from different years. Quote
