Burns-bass Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Wish he’d do that for Spectrum. The grooves he finds on that record is absolutely incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a jolly good job that his beard is long enough to cover his parts, I can tell you from experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Jale Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks. Very interesting to hear his timing so closely... very relaxed, never ever pushing, very much on the back of the beat. Bloody pros eh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Great playing again. Notice how the strings hardly move when Lee plucks/strokes them. Also good advice. . . . . . . "We never did anything exactly like the record." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Lovely. I knew he was a wizard...just look at the red and gold hats below his right elbow in a box😏 Think he'd use a better a camera, all the frets are distorted and sloping at the dirty end.....

Those Sklar Dingwall's are made just for that kind of technique. They have banjo frets on them and they play effortlessly. Really wish I hadn't sold mine. The only issue I had with it was the pick-up placement which they have now solved with the Sklar II - 3 x Super Fatty's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks for posting these daily Noirbass. I'd like to thank Mr Sklar but I don't have an account with YT. It's like being in the room with him. Great clips, simple and to the point. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandypjb Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 What a man and what a player. Lovely to see a pro stuff up too. Makes me feel ever-slightly-better about my own playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickJ Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I love that he forked up and left it in the video. Never knew much about Leland before now but I'm really enjoying getting to know him through this series of videos.

stewblack Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just watched the first video up at the top of the thread there 👆. You could show that to anyone learning bass to illustrate how to support the song, to play well without the need for flashy fills. It's a beautiful illustration and a wake up call for me. I'm nowhere near as bad as I was 35 years ago but I am still guilty of playing way too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
