Marcelo Yakko: King of Pain

Our friend Marcelo Yakko sent us his latest video, and it is a great take on one of his favorite songs.

Marcelo covers The Police’s “King of Pain” using three basses to create a spectacular all-bass arrangement.

“The first does the rhythm with the addition of harmonics, the second makes the melodic section and a small solo, and the third reinforces some accents and doubles the melodies of the chorus,” Marcelo shared.
