Bill Wyman. 'The Quiet One' documentary.

I'm still mystified by some of his early playing with the Rolling Stones. He does some unusual octaves and things.

 

First I'd heard of this. Bill played some great licks, I'll check it out if I get the chance.

 

Wyman knew what was what: "I started to focus on playing like Duck Dunn. That's who I learned my basics from. The way to play. To leave spaces, don't be busy, don't fill it up, you're not a F**kin lead guitarist, you're a bass player. Focus on what the drummer's doing, and play, exactly, with the drums. So you've got a strong foundation there."

 

I really enjoyed the show, it really fit his personality and told his story with the band very well.
Everything doesn't have to be a F&F movie starring the Rock after all.

I do look forward to watching the Wyman doc.

 

I thought it was pretty decent. I loved some of his footage. It's on Hulu right now if anyone is interested.

 

People are [self-censored]. You do know that already, right?
I just watched it. It's on Youtube.
I think they hit exactly the mood that they intended.
I learned a little too.
Thanks for the thread.

 

I just went and watched it. I thought it was great. I had no idea that's who he was.

 

Added to 'My Stuff's... thanks!

 

I thought it was good. Definitely worth watching.

 

Thanks Corigan for the heads up. I'm watching it now.

 

I liked it and thought it was well done. More poignant now.

 

Not to mention accented notes off the beat and syncopation. (Miss You, for example) The Stones' rhythm section was solid.
