On a Street Life loop

[SpaceChick]

OMG!!! That song grooves!!!

Street life by Randy Crawford.... What a bloody awesome song!!

I was given it as homework in my last bass lesson, but with learning songs for my audition yesterday (which I got! ) and rehearsing hard for a set of gigs with my old band, I hadn't had time to look at it until today!

It's a real challenge to play, but I reckon I'm 75%-80% of the way there..... One of the things that makes it SOOOO hard is that it is a physical impossibility not to dance whilst playing it

So basschatters, any songs that you just can't stop playing, and any songs you just have to dance whilst playing them?

Is that the woman who sings with her eyes shut,and has loads of teeth? Sorry, but it brings back painful memories of '70s disco.
Glad you're enjoying it tho'

Been doing it all week Deb... I had early issues when it shifts to single notes from the a flat .... But got it mostly now .... Just a bit out of time for the second intro riff after the b flat, a flat, bflat bit... But making it to the end now in excess of 4 minutes.... Stuck a pop in there on the C after the 3 a flat notes :-)

Would be really interesting to send each other recordings, to see how we have interpreted it differently. I'm doing a few slides back down to the starting F . No pops in my version though, I pants at doing pops

Oops, that might not work..Mr Ace has me starting on C on the A string :-D

P!nk - Funhouse. Got a cover of it on youtube, and it was a challenge not to dance whilst recording it. That reminds me, i need to record some more covers.

The start start with the run is on the C on the A string, but then the funkiness starts on the F on the E string!

I always feel a bit guilty talking about our lessons with Mr Ace..... Almost feels like we are cheating on our homework
