Pino’s playing on Barely Breathing

My previous cover band used to do this one. I tried my best to copy Pino's part. Fun tune to play.

Duncan Sheik never captured chart success like this again, but he went on to be a successful composer and won a Tony award in 2007.
Yeah. That was Duncan’s chart high water mark. The rest of his debut was so so. :meh: Glad he went on and achieved other successes.

I did this in a cover band, too. Loved playing the bass part (never knew it was Pino until this thread).
 
Oh man, I revisited this one recently and yeah, the song and Pino's line are fantastic. Great bridge on this one!

I went through some live performances and there's one from an awards show that they just absolutely crush - him and his band were tight (and the bass player nailed Pino's line note for note)

Duncan is one of my favorite artists. That was a great bassline in one song, but it's kind of like listening to Joni Mitchell because of Big Yellow Taxi. Yeah, it's one big "hit" but SO MUCH of the rest of the artist's catalog is at least as good as the hit, if not BETTER. "Humming" from 1998 is a MASTERFUL album, and probably one of my top 10 albums of all time.

Good song. I remember that song and others from good bands like Toad The Wet Sprocket were in some setlists in the mid-90's. Kinda right before Pino started his change over to P-bass with flats for sessions.
