JJTee Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Gotta love Rick. He is absolutely spot on about the quality of the bass in the chorus: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Yep, a classic bassline that I heartily enjoy playing. So good that it was copied in Belinda Carlisle's 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'.... Edited January 19, 2022 by cetera 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Rick is always spot on 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great to hear his analysis and praise of the session bassist. I like Rick, he has the enthusiasm of an amateur Youtuber type but then he deconstructs the music very technically (but in a way even I can understand) and replays it perfectly on any instrument. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilebodgers Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This is a cracking episode. I really enjoyed it. The thing that gets me about Rick B is that when he plays along he syncs exactly with the track so it sounds like he is on it. I wish I could do that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great he singled out the bassline as a fantastic hook. I’m going to stick my neck out here and say it was played noticeably less than perfect but we know that’s not necessarily what music is about. What got me was the backing vocals, crazy good especially after the key change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let out a quiet, internal “whoop” when he got to the bit about the bass in the chorus being the star part (along with the vocal harmonies). It’d always caught my ear and it’s such a simple but effective line that gives loads of character to the tune - it could have been so much more mundane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the guitarist quotes the bassline for the solo you know you’re onto something! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I watch loads of Rick, as and when I can. I never ever tire of him in the slightest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling the guys in my 80’s band this very fact recently as it’s been suggested as one of our new tunes to learn/play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
