A couple of days ago, we reported that Paul McCartney would be joining the surviving members of Nirvana for 121212: The Concert for Sandy Relief. It happened, and it was set up nicely by McCartney, who shared a little about his first jam session with the guys. “I finally understood I was in the middle of a Nirvana reunion,” he...

Bassist Fernando Molinari sent in this great video of his band No-Metric playing their tune “SOS.” Molinari kicks things off with a blistering slap riff to get the band in the groove. He also takes a beautiful solo after things cool off around the 3:30 mark.

Scott Ambush wows on this Spyro Gyra performance of “Deep End,” taken from the 2003 North Sea Jazz Festival. His whole solo is killer, but the note at 3:53 really just makes it for me.

Earlier this year, Uriah Duffy took part in a concert where each band was asked to take a song from an historic album and put their own spin on one of the tracks. The album of choice was Black Sabbath’s Paranoid. We’ll let Uriah explain in his own words: “This was so cool & every act was super unique, putting...

There’s no denying Flea’s influence on bassist Viaceslav Svedov. Here’s Viaceslav showing some love and playing through a number of Chili Pepper tunes. As always, this video comes with some great bass faces.

Here’s another gorgeous video from my favorite Argentinian duo, Willy González and Micaela Vita. Recorded April 20, 2011 at La Oreja Negra in Buenos Aires, the duo tackle “Romance de Barrio” with incredible sensitivity and passion. González is playing an acoustic 6-string made by luthier Paul Batan.

Here’s a sweet video of bassist Pete Griffin playing along with the track “Cornelius Drives a Truck.” The song comes from the debut album of Griffin’s band, Gryphon Labs. Griffin, who was a member of Zappa Plays Zappa and recently sat in with Dethklok, utilizes lots of cool techniques while keeping it musical. For the gear heads, the bass is...

Mastodon is one of my favorite bands to see live, mostly due to bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders’ incredible, raw energy and beastly tone. Here’s a great clip of the group on Later… with Jools Holland, performing “Black Tongue” from The Hunter.

Evan Marien brings the bass goodness once again with this soulful bass cover of Ellie Goulding’s “Lights”.

Andres Rotmistrovsky has shared one of his latest videos with us, where he teamed up with vocalist Angela Watson and performed this nifty arrangement of “Change The World”. (The tune, of course, is a cover of the one by Eric Clapton and Babyface). Andres’ bass is the perfect accompaniment to Angela’s vocals, proving yet again how incredible versatile our instrument...

Adam Nitti recently shared this video on his Facebook page from a concert with the Tom Hemby Band at Nashville’s Third & Lindsley. Nitti and drummer Keith Carlock add all the grease to the tune with a laid back yet compelling groove. The rest of the band is filled out by guitarist Hemby, saxophonist Mark Douthit and keyboardist Michael Whittaker.

Here’s a sweet jam from Warwick’s Fuss on the Buss 2012 DVD. Robert Trujillo and Steve Bailey set an interesting groove between Trujillo’s gnarly distorted bass and Bailey’s bell-like tone and lyricism on top. 311’s Aaron “P-Nut” Willis jumps in around the 3-minute mark to add some slap to fill the jam out.
