Captain Bassman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Get Here by Oleta Adams. I doff my cap, with complete creative inferiority, to the mighty Mr Palladino... Also have to learn I Got You (It Bites) and Get The Funk Out (Extreme). Not for a gig but just for the sheer unadulterated pleasure of playing some funk/rock!!

[/quote] get the funk out is a great line, in fact most of that album (bar the croony stuff) has great basslines. trying to convince my band to cover GTFO but it's falling on deaf ears at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 After spending what seemed like an eternity working out Abba's 'Dancing Queen' for an unsuccessful local audition, where the band couldn't play it anyway, because they'd forgotten to bring along the backing track(?!) - thought I'd have a crack at 'Forget Me Nots' by Patrice Rushen. What a great, iconic bassline! I found surprisingly easy, considering I'm not really a slapper. My Ibby Blazer with steel rounds nails Freddie Washington's tone nicely.

OldGit Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've got a sax gig in a few weeks playing 20 classic funk tunes and about 8 I've never heard before so I'm learning them all on bass first to get the real feel before working out what I'll play on baritone sax ... "thank you for letting me be myself again" Shack up I got you (not learning that one, it's hard wired ) etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
