Here's a perfect example.........


I used to play with this Top 40 band here in Nashville.  The bass player is one of the baddest in town.  He can do it all, but he plays very tastefully.  Anyway, the lead singer's father was a bass player as well, and he came through one night.  He wound up sitting in with the band on a couple of songs.  Now He was probably in his late 50's or early 60's at that time.  Old school to the fullest.  My man got on that staged and grooved the place like crazy.  He turned it out with just the groove.  Sure he threw a lick in here and there, but that groove got  the crowd.  It was not due to his age, or his son being the singer.  This man was just a cold bassist period.  Proving once again that less in more.

The key to becoming a complete musician is knowing when to play for the song and not for yourself. It should not be the bass players intention to draw attention to himself! If you have the gig, it already means everyone knows you can play! Laying in the pocket and grooving seems to be a thing of the past and I'll be honest and say it annoys us 'older, experienced' cats a bit. Yeah, I'm amazed at the skills of you younger players but why do you have to show it at every opportunity. Gigs are not 'Sheds' and it's inappropriate to 'shed' at a gig. Just my humble opinion.

It is cool to be disappointed with music. some people think just because its main stream or that it is a big gig its awesome. thatz not tru...sometimes simple is pretty wack. over hype things get the most criticism.

So, now you supposed to be seeking glory and recognition from other people?  What a shame.

that is the revelation you got from that bro thatz a shame. what chump lives for man glory after your first real fight thatz out the window..anyone can have ones opinion on any thing whether someone thinks its awesome or not. especially if it comes with a price tag.


Huh?


i think he was trying to say that just because ur a top artist or renowned that u cant have a corny song. which is true, its your opinion. and we all know its to the glory of the Lord, but who can honestly say that they feel every single song thats put out? some things are overhyped and some may feel the song is not 'all that' but just because people say what they say doesnt mean ur supposed to be seeking recognition or glory from other people. no, these people put out what they like. but u cant get mad if the people who purchased it say whether they liked it or not.

now i do know that being in the pocket gets gigs and all that neat stuff (not into gigging right now), but indeed there are many ways to play a song and still be in the pocket. i've gotten my hands on songs where the bass player killed just playing roots and 5ths and im blown away because theres a different approach to something so basic and i got a better understanding. if i feel i cant take away something from this listening to enhance my playing (more than just learning a new song) then i do feel disappointed, but that has never happened on the scope of an album, just individual songs.
For my God... let "Golden Axe" prevail.

THIS IS JUST A RANT!!!


a perfect example is marvin sapps thirsty its a GREAT  cd the whole band is killin very tasteful i listen to it all the time (for keys and drums) i feel as if swol could have did a much better job on that cd i understand the bass player is supposed to  b solid but that doesnt mean u cant have any feel, its so plain and boring.

I would look at some of the live youtube performances of marvin sapp. His bass player was getting off! He did a lot of pocket work too, but his runs and riffs were awesome. Im studying two of the songs now, and I felt he could have done better too, until I broke these songs done. That cat really laid it down.




I guess my take is that on this CD is that the basslines are open to your own interpretation and really allows you to make these lines your own when you  play. ;D ;D

That's the main point right there, many people just listen and think more could be added.  It's when u sit down with it and really analyze what's being played that u find out what's really going on.
