i always have mtv 80s on the tv in the background, for the last 2 years. Thats when i started hearing a band called duran duran, i realised i knew girls on film, and thought it was a bassline worth learning. I have never came upon a bassline with that level of syncopation and like, staccato muting. idk what too call it. it led me down a pipeline i havent escaped. Then, i heard rio.
That bassline.
its the bassline i have played consistently for the longest. and that sax/bass solo, my god! i had to look up as many of this basslines as i could. i had to learn how he played.
the newest bassline of him ive found it tel aviv (air studio). And i am incredibly proud to boast i have it figured out. most basslines would prefer to use the 5th of the chord, but what i find so shaging class, is the way he used the 3rd. in the precourse, over an F chord, he plays a lick using the notes F A B, the shaging bastard! and its so good. Its so melodic, theres a part in the sorta prog rock section where he plays over an Am chord with the root 5th minor 7th and octave, and its excellent, sensual. oh and then when the song comes back home, over an Am chord, he plays such a nice rhythm, wiht the root 3rd and 4th. and the onto the G chord a simple but lovely lick, he does hammer on from 7th to octave, then in the same pulse the root, repeat once. Then to the F chord, he plays an F, A, B, D and E, why does it have to work. then to the Em, root hammer on 7th-octave-5th(not hammer on for 5th)
This turned from me appreciating john taylor to talking about the tel aviv bassline, i accidently listened to it on the bus once, and im so glad.
Plus, new religion, thats brilliant, planet earth, like a galloping horse, american science, just a favourite of mine
The 5th 6th octave lick he uses is unreal
Gotta check him out
