Ad[/quote] Hey, these are not at all bad!! Really good, in fact. I love the tight groove on chameleon, and your Chicken solo is very musical. I hardly dare criticise people obviously better than me, but in a spirit of being constructive: I don't know what you think but the main Chameleon bass riff feels like it works best with fingers rather than slap as at the start. Also your bari player will get better with experience but enormous respect to him for giving a great effort on a very difficult instrument! Also...again I don't know what you think but at various points the band sound feels a bit bare and then a bit busy...this may be the effect you're after? Its easy to say all of this from my living room of course - it's 1000 times harder on stage and these two videos are of a smashingly high general standard I would have said. Cheers! Brightened up my day those have... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamWoodBass Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Very kind words man, thank you! On the points you made I do very much agree The keys player asked me if I would try a slap line in the tune, I wasn't sure about it either and after watching this back I probably wont do it again as I too think its way better finger style. The bari player hasn't been playing that long if I'm not mistaken so massive kudos to him for having a go, he's used to notated stuff so jamming is a totally new concept to him. He's definately got the lungs to get some decent notes out of that thing though! The business of the band being too busy or too bare is basically what happens in every jam situation where you have a lot of musicians who dont know each other that well and are all of varying ability. A few of us from the jam are setting up a fusion type band which will be cool, we'll be tackling some Weather Report and Chick Corea classics and we'll also be doing some of our own stuff. It's still in concept stages at the moment, should be getting off the ground in the next month or so when everyone's free to get into it! Hopefully we'll be able to get in the studio with it fairly soon! Thanks again for the encouraging words mate! Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
