Brandon Shaw: 8 Funky Bass Lines to Impress at Soundcheck
Brandon Shaw has a cool YouTube channel called Digging The Greats, and he just shared a fun video for bassists. He plays through eight songs that make for good lines for soundcheck, including deeper cuts by artists like Anderson .Paak, Bernard Wright, Earth Wind & Fire, and Mac Miller.
“Is this an incredibly vain idea for a video? Yes,” Shaw admits. “Is this something we ALL subconsciously do? Come on, I can’t be the only one who does this.”
Whether or not you play these at your next soundcheck, they’re great bass lines, and Shaw gives a little background on each of them.
