I was not ready Prestia is a monster With most of these old funk players as I’ve found, they have it inside them. They probably never played it the same twice live. Just jump in, get the vibe, basics and let the fingers go wild 😄 Edited May 1, 2022 by Bunion 1 Quote
Piers_Williamson Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 I watched this yesterday, went back to the 'Shadows of Motown' score, and my jaw dropped, particularly with the bridge section. what an astonishing phenomenon Jamerson was, and Julia Hofer is a pretty understated player that covers some great tunes too. 1 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 God save the Queen (no, not the Pistols version). We have a street party to play on the 4th and thought it would be cool to play the national anthem. Hopefully it will be a good sing along, although not a floor filler 😁 Full orchestral presets (inc Timps) sound very grand on this one. Quote
bass_dinger Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 YMCA. To get the gallop rhythm in the chorus, I have had to learn a completely different approach to playing bass - using my thumb and two fingers, and not just two fingers. I am struggling with the octave chromatic runs too. I don't yet have the dexterity to fit them all in where they should be. And look - 6 flats! So, this is a challenging piece for me, but terrific fun. 2 Quote

Noogat11 Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 I now learn the song Billie Eilish - No Time To Die, it just fell into my heart, and I wonder how it will sound in the male version) And what song do you learn now? Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 Errol Gardner's 'Misty'. I've been at it for over forty years, now. One day, though; one day... 1 Quote
Bunion Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Had the old smoothie out and loving it. Keeping in spirit with Musicman I thought I’d learn a few chic tracks as I’ve always overlooked them. Some good fun to be had there, especially liked this one 1 Quote
