Nice job @Liffguard I had that song on my list of covers to do, but I don’t think I could do it any better than you did it. I only wish I could have heard a little more volume on the backing track, but otherwise it was splendid.
Hey @MattHinchliffe Matthew there’s nothing wrong with just doing a slide show with your cover. You sounded great and the timing was great. You stayed in the groove the entire song, and that’s the most important thing.
Nice job @terb. I don’t normally like your choice of music, but this was quite enjoyable. I really liked the song and your bass line. You always do such a magnificent job of laying down a great groove. I’m still amazed at how well you to this while sitting down LOL. I couldn’t do it.
That tone is perfect for this song, I like Greenie rolled off like that. I like where the bass is sitting in the mix too.
Technique-wise you are demonstrating very good form in the video too, some serious pinky reach there
It kind of sounds like the bass is getting some very light phasing at times in the sustain, not sure where that is coming from - might just be some killer color that the bass just has. I love it.
Another great cover @terb Laurent! I liked the song, it kind of reminded me of some James Taylor material back in his early years. Great tone out of Greenie.
You have a very good ear for finding what is needed to totally support the song without being in the way. You are good at focusing in on what is essential. I myself would just be itching to play a flourish high up on the neck or some run down to the root every now and then…
Aloha BassBuzzers!
Before I leave Hawaii for the Land of the Rising Sun, I recorded a quick cover to take advantage of the locale for the video. Nothing special about the song, it was a tune I’ve been playing for a while but hadn’t recorded it.
Mahalo for watching.
Quick question: Not a critique at all, but just curiosity. I notice your thumb is atop the neck rather than behind it. Is that for muting purposes? Again, nothing wrong with your style, I’m just curious.
What can I say, Jerry! This is one of those covers that would have been juuuuuuuust fine without the video I mean, it’s below freezing, crusty snow is clinging to every surface here… swaying palms is the last thing I need to see right now
Well done, though! Have a safe trip further west to get to the Far East
Thanks Howard. It’s not a guarantee that I’ll be allowed in. Japan has a policy of a pre-flight negative COVID test before boarding. SOFA (Status of Force Agreement) members are exempt from pre-flight testing. I’m hoping that the gate agents are aware of the exemption.
