Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (August 2023)

Nina DiGregorio is best known for pioneering the electric rock violin, but she’s also an accomplished bassist. DiGregorio teamed up with multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Brody Dolyniuk for this killer cover of Rush’s “Limelight.”

In this episode of "Best of Bass Lines," Julia Hofer breaks down Sting’s incredible bass line on The Police’s “Spirits In The Material World” before playing along with the notation.

Marcus Miller is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of bass players, and his arrangements are always something fresh. That is on full display in this clip. Playing the classic Miles Davis tune “Tutu,” Marcus put on yet another masterclass!

On July 4th, Nate Smith, Cory Wong, and Victor Wooten performed at Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Here’s a great clip of the trio during that performance (with an extended drum solo by Smith).

Ellen Alaverdyan is back with another cover, and like all of her previous ones, her skills and enthusiasm are on full display. Here she is taking on “Darling Dear” in dedication to James Jamerson.

Antoine Baril always knocks me out with his impressive skill on multiple instruments. In this video, he kicks things up a notch with a “One Man ELP” performance. Baril performed this using Keith Emerson’s rig!

In 2016, Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer teamed up for a live performance at the Hollywood Bowl to celebrate Beck’s 50-year musical career. Here they are performing “Star Cycle” with Rhonda Smith on bass.

Tedeschi Trucks Band took the stage at Red Rocks on July 29th, and cameras were rolling. Here’s the band, anchored by Brandon Boone, performing “Anyhow” and “Statesboro Blues.”

The Playing For Change Band paid tribute to Robbie Robertson with a special performance of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.” Robertson passed away on August 9, 2023.
