Okay, just kidding. No political comment please in response to this post, we seem to be able to get some great arguments going here even without it. ;)

(Repeats for the fiftieth time) Play nicely, guys. :)

Music related discussion question - what are you guys listening to right this second? I'm chilling to "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by Cher. Cool arrangement and a real example of how to mix a record with class. Jeff, you have some sounds on at home now?

This is a link of me recording over different II V I's only on chordtones. I did this because a fellow on another thread showed me his playing and I offered to show him how I would play over these chords. These are purely chordtones that i recorded and played for academic purposes. If this stimulates any questions or discussion, let me know.

I will certainly check that out later this evening. At the moment, I'm trying to sort out a set for a big party gig I have coming up (three of my friends are 50, all in the same week). Hence the unstructured wander through my mp3 collection. I currently have "Nightshift" by the Commodores. Very cool song.

Any suggestions for essential songs welcome. I guess it's okay for me to wander off topic in this particular thread a bit, Jeff? As long as it's all about music, I mean.

This is the drag of me showing you guys this stuff. Most teachers don't know how to teach it. Only the top guys can really make the apprenticeship perion a short one. There really isn't material around that I am aware of that can show you guys how to acquire this skill. P.S. It is actually quyite simple to acquire. It just takes a couple of weeks to get into it.

I know how and what to do to get guys to learn lots of this and other stuff, but I suspect that someone will go after me for trying to sell something to you guys. Talkbass is a tough town!!!

Very interesting stuff, I could see this approach being very useful. :)

The more I play, the more I dig Jamerson. He invented more or less single-handedly what most of us do now.

JJ was absolutely amazing. What talent.

Jamerson didn't just Help those tunes - he Carried lots of them, right on his shoulders.

If you ever want a treat, go find these tracks on the internet that have Jamerson's lines solo'd. It's amazing. Those lines Were the tunes.

Not only is it usefull, but it is bass playing improving methodology. What one practices is way different than what one plays. My demonstration of soloing only on chordtones was a stretch of the artful use of them. Nobody actually solos this way. But it is a great way to identify the chords and represent them perfectly. Bass players generally can't do this because they haven't learned how.

I'm on it...

Also, on a related theme - Bob Babbitt's bassline on 'Touch me in the Morning'. An amazing and beautiful piece of work.
