A friend of mine dragged me along to a couple of pink Floyd concerts when I was about 16, I’d only been playing bass for around a year, I enjoyed it but wish I’d paid more attention as I didn’t really appreciate just how good they were
Apart from the occasional private reggae party or studio get together I’ve got no intentions of joining any bands, I’ve had 2 offers lately but declined, I just can’t commit or be bothered to lug my stuff around London, I’m happy enough just doing what I’m doing these days 🙂
I’m not great at it but I do like the theory side of bass , I’ve found the modes/ scales helpful to my playing and understanding what I’m playing, pentatonics are my favourites, they are used a lot in reggae so working on those was and is beneficial to me 🙂
Dropping a couple of oldies tonight, first up is Dennis Brown from around 1973
and next is Al Campbell , take a ride, we’ve had this before but this is the studio 1 , good quality
