| | | Geezer taugh me the importance of the Penatonic scale in rock music.  Sometimes I think he played bass to much like a guitar though. Still an awesome player though. |

Geezer was one of my primary influences. His style is (well, really WAS) just so damned cool.

Alot of bass players in the 60's and 70's either followed the guitar player or really didn't stand out in the mix, Geez was never one of them.

One of the first bass lines I ever learned was "Paranoid". I used to play along with the first three albums... I knew all the songs. I didn't memorize all the vamping Geezer did in songs like War Pigs, but I think I can still play the solo before "N.I.B." note for note. "Mob Rules" was also a killer album. |

I love Geezer's playing too. I am amazed at the way he plucks the strings with two fingers, using a "scooping" motion. |

Geezer Butler has been one of my primary influences since I started playing bass. It seems kinda funny that he was the guy who bought a bass for the band cuz no one else wanted to play. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
