Happy Friday! We thought we’d close the week out with our monthly top 10 videos list.
Here are the No Treble reader favorite videos for the month of March.
Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing!
1. Sanne Verbogt: Microtonal Pop Bass
Last year we featured Sanne Verbogt’s awesome microtonal bass from Roks Instruments. Now she’s released a new video demonstrating it on a pop song. “In my study to explore the use of microtones in Western music I chose a pop/dance song to make an arrangement for microtonal (quartertone) bass guitar…
2. Stuart Clayton: “Hump de Bump” Bass Tutorial and Transcription
Stuart Clayton is one hard working bassist and educator. Here’s a new lesson he’s just released, covering how to play Flea’s bass line on Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Hump de Bump.” Check out the video and be sure to download the full transcription…
3. Al Green with Chicago: Tired of Being Alone
In 1973, Al Green performed his hit song “Tired of Being Alone” with Chicago on the TV special “Chicago in the Rockies.” This recording later made it on to the 2002 remastered version of Chicago VI. Look at how much fun Peter Cetera is having. No wonder, this one grooves!
4. The Fearless Flyers: Ace of Aces
Back in 2011, we featured the first Vulfpeck video. It was an instant hit here. Seven years later, the band has reached new heights. And now we have another band to follow as a result. Vulfpeck recently announced The Fearless Flyers, consisting of Vulfpeck members Joe Dart (bass) and Cory Wong (guitar)…
5. Derek Smalls: It Don’t Get Old
We’re still eagerly awaiting the release of the new Derek Smalls album, Smalls Change. Thankfully the Spinal Tap rock god has given us another tease with a music video for the song “It Don’t Get Old”…
6. YYNOT: The Spirit of Radio (Live)
YYNOT packed the house for a concert in Melbourne, Florida earlier this month. The band just shared this live clip of the event, with the band performing Rush’s “The Spirit of Radio.” Tim Starace handles the bass as always, as well as the foot-controlled keyboards (Geddy style!)
7. Pat Torpey and Billy Sheehan: Big Drums Jam
Last month we lost the great Mr. Big drummer, Pat Torpey, due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. His music, of course, will live on forever. Here’s an incredible jam taken from the drummer’s instructional video, Big Drums, featuring bandmate Billy Sheehan tearing it up…
Back in 2012, we featured what went on to be a very popular video by Evan Marien covering the Jaco Pastorius tune, “Havona.” (We later published the transcription for Evan’s arrangement.) Now Evan is back with a new version for 2018. This time around, he’s playing a Supro Huntington short scale bass…
9. Panagiotis Andreou and Federico Malaman: Quando quando quando
Two of our favorite bassists got together to jam. In this clip, Panagiotis Andreou and Federico Malaman perform and all-bass version of “Quando quando quando.” I had to look up the origin of the tune, which is an Italian pop song from the early ’60s. Turns out it was one of the best selling singles…
Karl Clews sent us his latest, and it is killer. Karl took Stanley Clarke’s classic “School Days” and turned it into an all-bass arrangement…
