firebird7 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Anyone got the tab to this, I'm struggling, love Japan, is it my age! RIP Mick Karn Quote
mentalextra Posted December 1, 2012 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. [/sub][/size] Edited December 1, 2012 by mentalextra Quote
martthebass Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Like many I got into Fretless thru Mr Karn. Still cant play any of his stuff tho. I'll stick to Talk Talk..... Quote
YouMa Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I like mick Karn,i love quiet life. but I cant get away with sylvians voice. Does anyone think it sounds like someone taking the piss out of bryan ferry on spitting image? Quote
mentalextra Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Try the "post Japan" work of Micks, he got better and better. A tragic loss! Quote
