Monster Bass Lines

[MacDaddy]

I defy any bass player, to learn [i]Earthquake [/i]by Graham Central Station (Larry, need I say more?) and not love it, and not love playing it!

Willy Weeks in Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy".



That's what I call bass playing.[/quote]

Macca + Wings. Denny Laine wrote and sings the song, meaning that Macca is "just" the bassplayer (+backing vocalist).

Yes mate, great tune indeed. I've started jammin this tune with a few mates in a casual funk thang although for RSI sake i want to do a shortened version
Do you, or anybody, know how to play the outro...i still haven't worked it out....probably mainly down to sheer laziness and lack of talent.

This is a heavy funk line and i still have this album on vinyl, one of the first albums i ever owned:

Live version [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8_oOQTNCzU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8_oOQTNCzU[/url]

Also check a tune called Bad tune...heavy...oh and Bad!

Love this classic too [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je5aTUS8DhU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je5aTUS8DhU[/url]
