Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (September 2022)

We recently shared a video from the archives of Faces performing “Stay with Me.” Richard Tofts and Steve Boisen recommended we check out the isolated bass and drums clip from the tune. Here’s Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones great work on the tune.

Kinga Glyk’s “Tears in Heaven” video has been viewed nearly 3 million times in the six years since she first shared it. She just posted a new version, which is slowed down from the original but just as beautiful.

Julia Hofer is back with a new video. In this one, she breaks down the excellent bass line by Kelsey Gonzalez on John Legend’s new tune, “Strawberry Blush.” The transcription is included, so grab your bass and follow along.

Martin Miller has a new video out, and this time the band is joined by guitarist Lari Basilio for a cover of Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla.” Bassist Ben Jud kicks off the vocals before the tune kicks into higher gear.

I’ve been spinning Lari Basilio’s “Your Love” quite a bit lately. Here’s the video for “All To You,” which features Leland Sklar’s tasty bass lines backing up the band that also includes Vinnie Colaiuta and Ester Na.

Stuart Clayton published “The Plectrum Bass Book” earlier this year. Yesterday, he dropped this video of him playing along to Sly Stone’s “I Get High on You” - one of the earliest recordings by the great Bobby Vega.

Swatkins once again joins Scary Pockets for a funky cover. And while I’m digging the work of bassist Nick Campbell on this one, I’m also digging the horns. Here’s the group doing their thing on The Bee Gees tune, “How Deep Is Your Love.”

The wait is almost over. Snarky Puppy’s “Empire Central” is coming at the end of the month, and the band has just shared a new video from the session. “Belmont” was written by bassist/bandleader Michael League.

From “Live from the Dome part IV,” here’s The Main Squeeze performing the Jimi Hendrix tune, “Little Wing.” Rob Walker is rocking the double bass on this one to kick this one off before switching to bass guitar (and then taking a sweet solo).

I love every video Cory Wong puts out, but this one might be one of my favorites. Check out Cory (and others) getting blown away by Sonny T’s work. Sonny does it all.
