Thunes![/quote] I thank 'ee Not at all difficult technically, but if you can play it with the sheer power, grace and musicality that Thunes did, you are a bass hero in my book. Quote
MythSte Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I'm not the only one that will recommend you go through the Steely Dan back catalogue, im sure Quote

Doddy Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 'Valley Girl' by Zappa is a great track-Scott Thunes' tone is awesome. How about something like 'Everyday People' by Sly and the Family Stone? Larry Graham only plays one note,but it's a bugger to make groove hard. Or try 'If you want me to stay' again by Sly and the Family Stone,but with Rusty Allen on Bass. What about some old Michael Jackson? 'I want you back' (Wilton Felder) and 'Rock with you' (Bobby Watson) spring to mind. Quote
HoweDy Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Cool I'll check them out, I learnt larry graham - Pow! A long time ago, crazy song Quote
