R.I.P. The Night Tripper
Up until pretty recently, my ear never even heard basslines in music. All this time - just the vocals and the lead guitar, maybe some drums if I payed attention. But wow, now, taking this course, I can pick them out, sometimes even start counting 1 2 3 4 now too! I just heard this song on the radio yesterday - for me, marks the 1st time I can now tune out the treble sounds and vocals, and really just hear the bass - huge aha moment - really falling in love with this instrument!
Ooh that track kills @Chris! Havenât heard that Dr. John album. Killer rhythm section.
Thatâs awesome Vik!
Hereâs my Friday music share, because Iâm going to Flecktones show TONIGHT!
Original lineup! Howard Levy demolished it, did some freaky intricate playing with two harmonicas at once at one point. Everyone else was great too!
Funky Friday
Funkeeeeee - thanks, @Chris! You beat me to itâŠ
I was gonna share a real Friday feelgood tune this time that is fairly âinnocuousâ, but has a real snazzy arrangement featuring the Snarky Puppy horn section.
Enjoy!
Nice ones @Chris and @joergkutter! This is what I was listening to yesterday while working on a new blues lessonâŠ
Nice, Josh
Thanks for sharing this, @Chris! I havenât really listened to it yet - got a very stuffy head right now thanks to the very unfortunate combination of a cold and not being able to equalize the pressure in my ears through two flights yesterday. Everything sounds like it is coming through a yard of cotton or so⊠Thus, no contribution to this thread from me this week.
But, keep it coming guys⊠and Happy Friday!
The 90âs Seattle band that should have been as popular as Nirvana but that youâve probably never heard ofâŠ
I guess Iâll share, whether itâs good or not is up to youâŠ
Whoa, I havenât thought of Y&T in a long time. Thanks for sharing that!
@joergkutter ah crap, hope your feeling better soon
@Korrigan nice. The Strokes instantly came to mind when I heard that first track
Thanks, @Chris - it took two days to get all the cotton out of my head
Thanks again for that Max Moran share - the whole piece is just so percussive.
And, thanks also to @Korrigan and @funplumbin1 - hadnât heard of either of these bands before in my life - I guess that shows you how much more there is to explore out there, or perhaps how âprotectedâ my upbringing was
