Viktor L?rincz: Solo Bass Rock and Roll
Viktor L?rincz is one of those bassists who don’t seem to need anyone to help him put together some super enjoyable music. He just shared one of his new videos with us where he plays a fun old school rock tune. Enjoy (and dig that ring!)
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals: “Say You Will” – Live
During one of the Bass Bass events during NAMM last month, Juan Nelson showed up. I went over to talk to him, mostly to ask him about the news about Ben Harper reuniting with the Innocent Criminals. Juan was pretty excited, but I believe I may have been even more. Here’s Ben & the Innocent Criminals performing live in at...
Lily Burns: If You’re Tired
This is bassist/vocalist Lily Burns fronting a band and performing her original tune “If You’re Tired”, live at Berklee’s David Friend Recital Hall. The song takes many interesting twists and turns along the way, matched by some equally fun camera work. We’ve just discovered Lily and her music. We’ll be keeping our ears open for more.
Jesús Rico Pérez: Wandering
Jesús Rico Pérez shared his latest – and impressive – solo bass performance a few days ago. Enjoy “Wandering” – a composition featuring some sweet fretless tone, and harmonics.
Steel Pulse: “Biko’s Kindred Lament”, Live (1979)
I’ve been checking out a lot of reggae lately, but one album always sticks with me: Steel Pulse’s Tribute to the Martyrs. My friend John gave it to me years ago and I still play it regularly, thanks in large part to the heavy bass grooves emitted by Ronald “Stepper” McQueen. As the title suggests, the album focuses on political...
Tower of Power: “Soul With a Capital S”, Live (2008)
Bass legend Francis “Rocco” Prestia shared this video on his Facebook page the other day, and I can only imagine that thousands of people around the world started moving in their seats. This clip of “Soul With a Capital S” is taken from the band’s 40th Anniversary at the Fillmore West. Most bass players dream of being able to play...
Royal Blood Covers The Police’s “Roxanne”
Mitch (host of Groove here on NT) sent me this video of Royal Blood performing a cover of The Police’s “Roxanne”. It has been a while since we’ve shared a Royal Blood video, so it was great timing. After the video, be sure to check out our interview with Mike Kerr – the bassist/vocalist in the band who handles everything...
Mike Poggione and Tyler McDaniel: Serocs “And When The Sky Was Opened” Playthrough
Here’s another great metal playthrough featuring bassist Mike Poggione and guitarist Tyler McDaniel of Serocs demonstrating the song “And When The Sky Was Opened.” The clip comes from the Blakhart Guitar booth at the 2015 Winter NAMM show. Poggione is rocking a 7-string bass and some wicked right hand technique to tear through the 7-minute song.
Alessandro Corsi: Solo Bass Arrangement of “Don’t Stop Me Now”
Alessandro Corsi has taken things to a new level with his latest solo bass arrangement. The bassist covers Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” with an infectious amount of charisma.
Simon Fitzpatrick: “Rosanna” Solo Bass Arrangement
Simon Fitzpatrick is back with a new solo bass arrangement. This is Toto’s “Rosanna”, which once again showcases both his incredible musicianship and technique. I forgot how many things go on in this tune, and Simon nails them all. In case you’re wondering, Simon is playing a Sei Bass Flamboyant 6.
Virgil Donati with Hadrien Feraud: Paradise Variations
Hadrien Feraud is one of my favorite players, and it’s always fascinating to watch him play. Our friend Charles Robitaille sent in this video of Feraud playing “Paradise Variations” with drummer Virgil Donati, and my jaw hit the floor. The clip features several variations on Donati’s “Paradise Lost” from his album In This Life. Feraud’s bass playing is matched with...
Stevie Wonder with Nate Watts: “I Wish” and “Isn’t She Lovely” Live 2009
Stevie Wonder has had a legendary career, and for over 40 years he’s been backed by the one and only Nate Watts. Here’s a great video of two fantastic bass lines with “I Wish” and “Isn’t She Lovely.” The clip comes from a live 2009 performance in London. Even after playing these songs for four decades, you can tell Watts...
