la bam Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Great videos. An honesty about them I like. Not a polished presenter, but that's a good thing. Also, some class lines ..... Including "to get the lyric ..... I had to go to the Bahamas...!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 He’s a great player but I find his presentation style a bit like Roger Moore playing 007. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusee pee Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Sadly the last one. A View To A Kill. I always thought there was some plectrum palm-muting on this but no mention. Good discussion of the song though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew he played one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 My favourite bit in these videos is when he explains and then demonstrates syncopation in the Rio video and then says "well I could listen to that all day". Speaks for generations of bass players in that moment I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintoid Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Really enjoyed watching through those, thanks for sharing them. Duran were OK by me at the time, although I was suspicious that such a focus on image must surely mean the music and/or playing was being curated heavily by the record company. I was already heavily into bass when Planet Earth came out, and couldn't argue with the groove. I do think John Taylor was underrated. I remember trying to produce my own basslines in a similar style, and it always seemed the lines were too complicated. Somehow his were always perfect.

Couldn't help but chuckle when he talked about adding an effect for the verse.You don't need an effect for that, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
