mentalextra Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) [size=5][sub]I think Mr Karn is a marmite player. Personally I like what he did and his bass lines. I like the way he wanted his bass to be an upfront instrument. He admitted never having any formal training and that would explain his unique style. And there is the problem. For those of us brought up on learning scales and following a more traditional path of accomplishment his lines are odd and quirky. Not difficult but fiddly and your fingers are doing things they are not used to, if that makes sense!

But, like all of Micks stuff you have to do all the extra little bits to make it sound right and come alive.

mentalextra Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Try the "post Japan" work of Micks, he got better and better. A tragic loss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
