Great work on the cover @kerushlow , one of my favorite songs to play through. Those sixteenth triplets are tough to handle while staying on the beat, usually trip me up. Nice tone also.

Nice cover @kerushlow - and I dig all the comic book / Superman wall art!

That’s the toughest part of the song in my opinion, and then transferring back to riff from it. You would think it’s the fill, but no!

kerushlow · March 9, 2021, 4:19pm

Thanks! Yeah the timing on that one is tricky, especially on the 16th notes that suddenly drop in speed back to the riff. Covers have never been my thing, I always make my own riffs, improv, noodle, play my original songs. But I see value to it now, it’s good practice and helps you work on things like that. Playing to a track is weird too, I’ve only really ever played along with other musicians. I’ll try and do more of these though and hopefully will get better!

Thanks! It is my sons room…but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a big comic book nerd!

That was great, Kurt @kerushlow . . .

Cheers

Thank you! That is probably my favorite RATM bassline…and maybe song.

Great cover @kerushlow!

kerushlow · March 9, 2021, 7:35pm

Thanks Jerry! Commerford is one of my favorite bassists!

kerushlow · March 10, 2021, 10:35pm

Covered my own song…is that a cover?

Mike_NL · March 10, 2021, 11:15pm

So no

howard · March 10, 2021, 11:56pm

Good non-cover though

PamPurrs · March 11, 2021, 12:04am

Nice playing @kerushlow

booker_t · March 11, 2021, 12:44am

Well done bro. That is nice.

kerushlow · March 11, 2021, 1:05am

Thanks all! It’s a fun song to play!

JerryP · March 11, 2021, 2:01am

Great job @kerushlow!

Happy Friday everyone. Here’s my cover of the Sam & Dave classic, “Soul Man.” Originally recorded in 1967 at Stax Records in Memphis, TN featuring the Stax house band with Duck Dunn on bass. Some fun syncopation going on with this one.

Recorded direct to interface on a Fender P with flats and tone turned down. Bass is boosted in mix (used moises to remove bass from original).

In memory of Donald “Duck” Dunn 1941 - 2012

kerushlow · March 12, 2021, 11:06pm

You mixed that real well and got a great tone for it!

PamPurrs · March 12, 2021, 11:52pm

Very nicely done @bjams. Great song and you did the Duck justice with your tone and timing.
