ambient Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I’m a longtime admirer of Andrew’s playing. Here, he’s taking Chaka Khan’s two hits to another level completely. I guess he’s able to do this because: a) he has total mastery of his instrument and tremendous chops. and b) he’s so familiar and at ease with the harmony in the two songs. I have to learn these two songs for a new band I’m playing for. I play a 6 string bass, I’m definitely watching these for inspiration. He detunes his bass by a tone by the way. I have a transcription of these two tunes from a Chaka Khan concert. Edited August 2, 2023 by ambient 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass phrasing with the vocal at 04:34...terrific stuff! Thanks for posting. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 He's a fantastic player. I bought the AG1000 signature amp because I do love his sound. I have to say though - his solo stuff is a bit pants compared to the legendary tunes like CK's one in the vid. I was a bit disappointed in his solo album. Fine playing - just in desperate need of a tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It's a cracking amp. I'm very pleased with it. The dynamic range is massive. Really responsive. As I swap a lot between fingers, slap, and pick I always use a compressor just to sort that out a bit. Otherwise that little slap lick in the middle of a fingerstyle tune has a habit of waking the dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded great except on the really low notes on the B string, and I'm listening through decent headphones so it shouldn't be an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
