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!
Hope you had a great concert, @JoshFossgreen! Who was in the lineup?
Awesome, thanks for the share, @howard!
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!
Holy crap thatâs cool @Chris! That drum groove = hot.
@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
