Do you know the song? Daryll Hall of Hall and Oates wrote it, but the Paul Young recording with the great Pino Palladino on bass seems to be the definitive version.

I'm learning it. What is the last chord before the chorus?
I've only seen one chord chart for this song. It's in the wrong key (charted in C, Paul Young version is in F) and that line is/was totally wrong.

I believe the root is B, maybe in a Bdim or half dim and surprisingly, I think that's all Pino is playing there. The line seems to be walking up from the A, and a Bdim or Bmin(b5) would easily resolve to the F which starts the chorus.

Haven't played it a lot, but that's what it sounds like on a quick listen. Good luck on all those fills, especially the ones with the octave on.

I just got thru pluggin in my headphones/CD to my Bassman amp, and yes the B is right. It goes to the A, Bb, then B before going back to the 1 (F) for the chorus.

Actually it's not as hard as I thought - other than some of those fills. I think a lot of those ocatve thing are pretty simple it's the quick filss back to the 1 that are tough.

sorry to dig up this old thread but i didn't want to start a new one for my question.
i really got into pino recently and his work for paul young was fantastic, he really gave those songs a special touch.

now my question is quite simple, as it's only theory-based. yet i haven't been able to figure it out myself.

what is that lick at 1.00? it sounds like an arpeggio but i can't figure out the chord. it's somehow dissonant yet fitting perfectly at the same.
here is a bass cover

the same lick is at 1.15 but i'm not sure if it's completely accurate.

if somehow could explain me what he's playing there, i'd really appreciate it. thank you.
