Baretta's Theme
- Thread starter Joe Garage
- Start date
Yea, great stuff!
Most TV shows form the 70's had great theme music.
If they had the money they got great writers and band directors like Mancini and also got great studio ace's to play these themes. It was their bread and butter.
Economics and technology kind of killed that.
EDIT: What, Hennery Mancini and no Peter Gunn?? they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Found it under a 60's theme though.
Cool site!

Never heard of Abraham before. Is there any thing else he's done that's worth checking out?
I didnt even know bassists used tapping in the 70's.
I have bought a lot of 70s soundtracks Chunk-O-Funk, and yes it's a shame that the film studios later became so greedy that they replaced the musicians with drum machines and keyboards.

The guy simply is a monster on bass. He is one of those studio ace's that have been on hundreds of tracks, check out his web site and look at his credits and you will know what I mean.

DAMN! I remember watching Blake years ago & memorizing the words! LOL! Killer playing, never realized how much was going on in that tune! Claypool totally "copped" some of his style from that!

Thanks! To bad none of the video lessons or the audio links at his site worked.
