@@thevisorsusa I hadn’t heard that, but who knows?!

@@robsnapz thanks very much!

Cheers Steven, they felt right for this.

@@travisreed5965 cheers man!

@@terrygrady8413 🤣 show us how it’s done Terry!

@@GregsBassShed What a strange reply. I don't make videos of me playing. But here is an example of how it should be done. No talking necessary. And, a real epic bass line. ruclips.net/video/_d49aSzJAcE/видео.html

@@ticsbassplace thanks 🙏

@@ticsbassplace 🤣 yes!

@@Tracer9GTRider8 love it! It was fun to jam with these two masters of the Blues!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Jack Bruce was a monster player!

More to come! Good suggestion with some Buddy Guy.

@@GregsBassShed You're so great! Thank you 👍🏼🎸🎶

Thanks!

@@robsnapz thank-you!

@@alextinsley9117 great to hear!

@@jeffpaul6351 good idea. I have compared this Albert King version of Born Under A Bad Sign with the Robyn Ford version in my ‘Walk The Blues’ course!

@@stevep3757 no worries, glad you liked it.

@@gretelstonebridge2323 it’s really worth watching!

No, regular tuning but I used my own backing track in E for this lesson.

i hate that it is in Eb. when practicing i dont want to retune for any one song, i want all standard tuning.

@@kevan8910 use a program like ‘Anytune’ to change the key of a song by a click of a button. Makes it easy to practice to songs in Eb without retuning.

I pretty much feel the same way about this session and Gus Thornton's playing. It's a great gig!

@@GregsBassShed Good luck tomorrow down at Upton on Severn, unfortunately I am not going to make it this year, so hopefully next year.

@@mickymondo7463 thanks, just on my way now! We’ll have more gigs in the autumn. Cheers.

Cheers Rog!

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

Nice! This is the original isn't it?

Check out my 'Bass Beginners Series' ruclips.net/p/PL8NuE6bwYMXb5OZydYoTe91AtVV6c_koZ

Glad it was helpful. Regular practice with reading really helps.

Cheers Frank. I really love this tune!

Glad you like it Ruth, it's a favourite of mine! Thanks for the coffee

Good choice!

I would use it as a study piece then to dip in and out of, one section at a time.

He's great isn't he!

Thank-you very much!

@@mpc79 thanks very much. Great bass line isn’t it!

Thanks 🙏

@@Kram62 what an epic to cover for a school competition. I remember our band playing Crossroads st our school competition in the late 80’s and I struggled with trying to work out what Jack Bruce played !

Interesting, I really liked the Fender Mustang that I tried a while back and I'm looking to get either a Dano or Mustang. I love that pick Dano sound and good if the Mustang can get near to it. I think that Brian came to favour Carol Kaye later as he certainly said he favoured her in his interviews. But possibly at the time he just used whoever was free and Carol played 6-string guitar on some tracks so that may be a reason why he changed up who was playing electric bass . I guess this stuff is hard to remember all these years later!

​@@GregsBassShed I know Ray Pohlman became music director of Shindig! (where the Beach Boys played a number of times on TV), from September 64 to January 66 so Carol is prominent on their 1965 work. The instrumentals for the three 1965 begun Pet Sounds tracks (Sloop John B, You Still Believe in Me and title track Pet Sounds) all feature Carol (and Lyle Ritz on upright bass) . Excluding That's Not Me as it's mainly the Beach Boys, the other 9 tracks have a pretty even split of fender P bass with Ray playing 5 and Carol 4. Ray does play 6 string dano bass on Wouldn't It Be Nice for instance where Carol is playing P Bass (3 basses on that track!). Funny enough Carol is playing 12 string guitar on God Only Knows when Ray is on P Bass and Caroline No (where she overdubbed Dano to go with the upright in addition to her guitar). Brian ended up not using any of takes of Good Vibrations that feature Carol despite her being there for many of the sessions later in 66 (and her thinking she played on it). In the end it was Ray Pohlman's P Bass for the Verses and first Bridge, Bill Pitman (who mainly played guitar) doing the Dano VI for the first bridge, third bridge and Chorus fade, Arthur Wright for the P Bass in the 3rd bridge and chorus fade and Lyle Ritz on upright bass for the verses and second bridge and P Bass for the choruses. This is a extra long fan mix that uses a lot more of the sessions including parts cut where Carl Wilson, Carol Kaye and Bill Pittman play a variety of basses in addition to the players mentioned above for the song. ruclips.net/video/olZgT9I9-eA/видео.html I would love to have a Dano as the Fender VI is a bit of a different beast. RUclipsr Joshilyn Hoisington who makes great breakdowns of Beach Boys tracks did a little short documentary about the Beach Boys and the Danelectro VI here too that is worth checking out if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/AzJP0WoxvDI/видео.html

@@Blend42 cheers. It’s all interesting stuff. Who truly knows what went on in those sessions! Fun to try and work it out though! The main problem I see, is that different players laid down tracks and they then didn’t know which ones were used in the final mixes. Obviously in most cases you can recognise who the player is, but not always. Ultimately , it’s about the end result in the end and Pet Sounds is a great and groundbreaking album!

@@GregsBassShed We do know a fair bit about what went on. Pretty much the whole session tapes of most of their 60's work was leaked in the late 70's/ early 80's and massively bootlegged. So we have a ton of rehearsals/ takes, Brian giving instructions to the Wrecking Crew for instrumental sessions and to the Beach Boys for vocal sessions and making changes. We also have the contracts and know who got paid for each session (and therefore should have been in attendance). This channel used some of those recordings for mini documentaries about many Pet Sounds tracks. Here is one for Sloop John B ruclips.net/video/h9iu65sot1E/видео.htmlsi=L1hdIBO4khuuQg9G

It's easy to do this! Simplicity often wins with bass lines though 😀

Definitely more Southern Rock coming on the channel. I'm always impressed by the high level of musicianship when I look at this genre. Great music!

Good suggestion!

Glad you enjoyed it Mike and good comparison. I really rate Greg T Walker and love his bass lines.

Cheers!
