Lately I've been catching up on the episodes of "Rockonteurs", and enjoying them. It sounds like you and Gary also have a good time chatting with each guest.
Sumptuous!!!!!! Thank YOU!!!!!! So enjoying all of your vids - even though we havent had to lock down much here in NZ, hardly at all really - but no matter - I dont need an excuse to crash on the couch and binge on these, as I've only just found them.
I didn’t know this song, it’s super cool! Thanks for sharing your talent with us, can’t wait to see you play live with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, unfortunately not this summer but when it happens it will be a great joy!
Love this! Current favourite bassline. Whilst I was aware of "Ain't No Doubt", I'd never listened to the full album - which is superb. Thank you for the introduction!
Great to see you back! Maybe 6 months for the full cure as they say with glue.... Sounding and looking great to me. You got it for sure. Do what you need. I do love these. Very informative, whatever one does....
Wow! Fabulous note choices and rhythms. Love when the bass is a melodic partner with the main tune whether sung or played. Thanks for the heads up about the singer. Amazing voice.
Love the sound of that bass... nice and creative bass line, as usual. I'm so happy with my OC3, true, how could I ever played without it all these years?
Jimmy Nail 👍🏼 . Rockonteurs so good-John Bon Jovi was great-I was not a massive fan in the past but I’ll shall listen with new ears. He had great Power Station stories.
Thanks man & Greetings from Norway! Because of your sessions I went out and bought me a new bass, haven't been playing for 30 years, you're the greatest inspiration, now as then !!! Thank you so much! Now I would love you to talk a bit about your dubbish friends The Orb, Transit Kings and the ambient music you been on/into, would you like to share a bit of that? Bless!
@@guypratt7104 Understand that very well! But a little 2 minutes on how you do those things how you do, in dub, the harmonics, fx, rythms, would be much appreciated.. Even just a funny fluffy Alex comment would have been fun. Anyway, you answered me, thanks! Incredible, my life is complete now, LOVE!
That was great,a much underrated album. Jimmy was in a very productive period in his life,I like the TV series, Crocodile Shoes ( I think) he made. Great bass playing,I agree with others that in the chorus,one expects Steely Dan to take over. Loving the Rockonteurs too,Guy,even though I don't tell you and Gary. All the best to you as always.
Nice to see you again Guy and what a great bass line that is. Really been enjoying the Rockonteurs and loved the Toy Matinee film on Tim Pierce's guitar channel!
Thanks for helping keep us sane during these strange times! Have popped on some Jimmy Nail which is making me smile during this afternoon's work. Would you consider doing anything from the Michael Hutchence album? All four (if I'm right?) tracks you played on are really varied styles, but I've always like Let Me Show You as an opener and love the bass playing on it.
Glad to have you back! Contrats on the epic Toy Matinee overview video with Tim Pierce. A great piece of music history for the greatest band to never to do a single gig (at least in the recording lineup). How about a go at "Things She Said?" You and Tim both do amazing work on that one.
Thanks for putting this out there Guy! I have never heard of Jimmy Nail (until Aint No Doubt), but this song is fabulous. I notice that you alternate between playing close to the bridge and the neck during the chorus. That prompted me to do some experimentation with that technique. Anxiously awaiting your next video...
Not my type of music and I only know Jimmy as an actor. However, I enjoy the bass work as usual. Glad you've had the jab. Still waiting for mine but I'm glad I'm in Australia and we're juste about virus-free anyway. Rockonteurs is still maintaining a high standard and is a continuing joy 🤙❤️
great to see Ellen O'Reilly from the London Bass Guitar show doing an interview recently ,, will be hopefully doing some talking videos on bass soon ,, from the "street funk" side of GB bass ,, the scotts bass lessons etc & JKs keen to see what we say ,, solid bass playing on the disco bass lines guy man , i was surprised, & you recorded some great brit pop tracks ,, Jimmy Nail Ain't No Doubt, its nice (bookmarked) ,, Emily Play was decent too ,, ;D no irony intended,, thanks man
Great video and good to see you again! I find the bass sound has improved quite a bit and really cuts through - the playing is great as always. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks for another great bassline - I hope you'll find time to continue the series when lockdown is over. I also really enjoyed your contributions to Tim Pierce's Toy Matinee retrospective! P.S. Please keep Icehouse's The Flame in mind for a future LDL (or, if that's too long, Too Late Now).
@@guypratt7104 The bassline sounds great to me - it's a shame the song was relegated to b-side status, as it would be have been a great addition to Measure For Measure.
Hello Guy, I hope you're doing well and I am glad you have had your vaccin. Hope everything is fine with you, family and friends! When I started out on bass (I was 15, in 1986 or so) there were some issues out of Bass Player magazine which had a CD delivered with them. On one of these CD's there was a track by you called Bonny. The song starts out with with a nice melodic/rhytmic figure using overtones. The melody line is played on a fretless bass. I simply love that song and it inspired me to play fretless and develop my melodic skills. When was the song written, and how did you come up with the idea. Would you like to share the story behind the song with us and, of course, show us the way you played it? I would appreciate it very much! Kind regards, and have a wonderful weekend! Nico.
@@guypratt7104 Cool! And I see that it looks like you have an SSL2+. Lee Sklar picked up one of those and mentioned that he did on his channel. I decided to pick up one here in Canada as I needed something like that. Great device. You happy with yours?
Hi Guy, recently i watched on you tube the gig of Yet Another Movie from DSOT remastered edition. I personally think that this is a great song. What i find most amazing is the performing of the bass line, a genuine masterchief and very complex to play as well. I was wondering if you could post an episode where you play the bass line of Yet Another Movie and you explain the technique osed on it. Thanks and best wishes for all.
Welcome back Guy! Loving it and also the podcast, as it keeps getting better! PS: I know you don't like P basses very much, but have you got any tune you fancy on which you played a Precision? I bet Eliza is feeling left out 😂
‘Channeling Norman Watt-Roy’ would make excellent advice to any bassist.
I would've liked to have seen the Blockheads gigs when Guy dep'd for Norman Watt-Roy. What a band the Blockheads are.
Godamn. Thats epic.
Also think you’re channeling some Donald Fagan in that chorus feel. Loving those double stops too. Really excellent bass groove.
Jimmy Nail one of my all time favourites as a actor and a singer song writer
I loved spender just wish someone would repeat it . Good work guy
Jimmy Nail is a seriously underrated singer. Pure Northern Soul. Thanks for this.
Lately I've been catching up on the episodes of "Rockonteurs", and enjoying them. It sounds like you and Gary also have a good time chatting with each guest.
instablaster...
Love your bass playing Guy, really makes every song shine you’re recorded on
I learnt a lot from transcribing this lp back in the day. Some of your best work on this record Guy. 🙏🏼
That was so much fun.... and Betsy sounds better than ever! ...and the Travis reference hit the spot.
Welcome back. That was an excellent lesson. Thank you 👍
Love all of JImmy's stuff and love this tune... Thanks so much for a great peek behind the scenes....!!! Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.
Thank you so much for sharing your talents and knowledge with us! Watching your videos have been a real bright spot in the last year for me.

Waffles! I love waffles! Oh yeah and the bass thing too...
Loving Toy Matinee, I’m one of the people you’ve turned onto them. Awesome album and awesome playing by you and Tim Pierce 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Very nice bassline, man! I never even thought about leaving a note ringing, while moving onto the next bar on an open string. Very clever!
Hi Guy, just the other night I watched the zoom meeting you did with Tim Peirce and the Matinee guys. Very cool. Keep well fella.
Howdy Guy! Howdy Betsy! Thanks for the smiles!
Love this! Current favourite bassline. Whilst I was aware of "Ain't No Doubt", I'd never listened to the full album - which is superb. Thank you for the introduction!
Great to see you back!
Maybe 6 months for the full cure as they say with glue....
Sounding and looking great to me. You got it for sure. Do what you need.
I do love these. Very informative, whatever one does....
Very tasty bass line! Love it . Will tune in more often . Thanks Guy
Love the Podcast too!
WOW great song, how come I missed this? (Loved Aint No Doubt)
7:33 - "One thing, the real rain's gonna come" - Tell us more!
Great bass line which I'd not heard before 😊 👍
Welcome back waffle guy!!
This is the greatest bass line I've ever heard!!
Wow! Fabulous note choices and rhythms. Love when the bass is a melodic partner with the main tune whether sung or played. Thanks for the heads up about the singer. Amazing voice.
Great tune and a lovely bass part. Nice to hear it again after such a long time.
thanks for playing this one guy..my personal favourite tune of yours
Yeah man! Great tune and bass playing. Thanks for sharing and introducing it to me. Cheers!
Love the sound of that bass... nice and creative bass line, as usual. I'm so happy with my OC3, true, how could I ever played without it all these years?
Great song, and a lovely bass part, Guy. Thanks for sharing it.
The Rockonteurs is great Guy, one of my favourite podcasts
I watched the Knebworth '90 gig today (I was lucky enough to be there), and I couldn't get over how young Betsy looked!
Yay, welcome back! :-) That's a cool bass part! :-O
Great to see a new ep of lock down licks, thanks Guy, love these :)
So had you’re back and posting on CZcams! Your amazing and tasteful Bass work is inspirational.
What a beautifully composed bass part!
this line is unbelievably beautiful!
Jimmy Nail 👍🏼 . Rockonteurs so good-John Bon Jovi was great-I was not a massive fan in the past but I’ll shall listen with new ears. He had great Power Station stories.
fantastic bass line
What a great line!!!!
Fantastic job man you nailed it . Was looking everywhere for this tune !
Hi Guy, it's always great to see and hear the wonderful Betsy.
hope you're doing well. I can't wait to see you live again. bye, Max
Nice! Hope the shoulder is doing fine. Great to see you back.
Thanks man & Greetings from Norway!

They're really long songs with very simple repetitive basslines, not really great viewing for this channel..

@@stianwrenskjold8219 sorry I’m not seeing it..
@@guypratt7104 Thats ok, I love the videos you put out anyway! It's a lot of light shining through to us in a strange locked up time! Thanks!
Great video as always, thank you! Ashamed to say I didn’t know the song (until just now).
That was great,a much underrated album. Jimmy was in a very productive period in his life,I like the TV series, Crocodile Shoes ( I think) he made. Great bass playing,I agree with others that in the chorus,one expects Steely Dan to take over.

Yay Sir is back 🙌🙌🙌 missed you. Nice to see you round 💕💕💕
Welcome from Roma ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the best bassist the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video Guy. Thanks again.
10:32 reminds me of Empty Spaces by... some band
Nice. Getting a little Billy Idol 'Flesh For Fantasy' vibe here and there.
Cool bassy vid, cheers Mr P.
Voice and musicwise, Jimmy Nail reminds me of Fee Waybil from the Tubes. It's all good.
Thanks for helping keep us sane during these strange times! Have popped on some Jimmy Nail which is making me smile during this afternoon's work.

I can't help but gaze at that 4001 in the corner!
Hi Guy ! Really happy to see you again ! Great bassline !
Btw, I love the Rockonteurs podcast, perfect for my way to work ! 👌🏻
Really fun track - might actually start drumming this one.. Like it!
Brillant. Thank you 😊
This is pretty good, Jimmy Nail very nice.
Welcome back! I'm a fan of your work at Pink Floyd. 😉
Hey wow look who's back! Good to see you Guy.
This is really great, thanks Guy!
Excellant, glad you're back! :-)

Good work Guy.I voted for the right song.
Welcome back Mr Waffle and Betsy :-) Looking well !
Not my type of music and I only know Jimmy as an actor. However, I enjoy the bass work as usual.
Glad you've had the jab.
Still waiting for mine but I'm glad I'm in Australia and we're juste about virus-free anyway.
Rockonteurs is still maintaining a high standard and is a continuing joy 🤙❤️
this is fantastic
Such imagination in that bass line :)
great to see Ellen O'Reilly from the London Bass Guitar show doing an interview recently ,, will be hopefully doing some talking videos on bass soon ,, from the "street funk" side of GB bass ,, the scotts bass lessons etc & JKs keen to see what we say ,,
solid bass playing on the disco bass lines guy man , i was surprised, & you recorded some great brit pop tracks ,, Jimmy Nail Ain't No Doubt, its nice (bookmarked) ,, Emily Play was decent too ,, ;D no irony intended,, thanks man
Amazing !
Great video and good to see you again! I find the bass sound has improved quite a bit and really cuts through - the playing is great as always. Cheers from Canada.
Sweet base line, I likes it.
It's spelled 'bass' :)
Thanks for another great bassline - I hope you'll find time to continue the series when lockdown is over. I also really enjoyed your contributions to Tim Pierce's Toy Matinee retrospective! P.S. Please keep Icehouse's The Flame in mind for a future LDL (or, if that's too long, Too Late Now).
The Flame maybe, Too late now is hardly a notable bassline.
@@guypratt7104 The bassline sounds great to me - it's a shame the song was relegated to b-side status, as it would be have been a great addition to Measure For Measure.
Actually, listening again, you're right - it's really just the choruses where the bass comes to life.
Recently taken ownership of my own Bass Collection “Betsy” strangely, I haven’t inherited your abilities Guy! Great bass though! 👍
Hello Guy,
I hope you're doing well and I am glad you have had your vaccin. Hope everything is fine with you, family and friends!

It's back great Guy
Amazing bass part! Never really took Jimmy Nail seriously as a singer back in the day. My bad, cos this this is a great track.
Nice one guv'nor.
The song isn't on youtube! wtf, world?
Nice. Can you ask dave to start a channel like this one too?
Lovely stuff Guy. Perhaps any Icehouse- Measure for Measure stuff? Such an underrated album. Came out in the middle of my teenage years. Cheers.
Wow!
Welcome back Guy!! Glad to see you again! How about a rig rundown?! Cheers and stay safe!!
it's an Ashdown preamp into a Cali 1176 compressor and a TC sub and up pedal.
@@guypratt7104 Cool! And I see that it looks like you have an SSL2+. Lee Sklar picked up one of those and mentioned that he did on his channel. I decided to pick up one here in Canada as I needed something like that. Great device. You happy with yours?
@@whodder06 Love it.
very creative
Thanks.
just amazing idea, stories and music, thank You so MUCH!

@@guypratt7104 🤣
A dab of chorus in there Guy..? Or is that just Betsy being utterly melodious? :-)
Welcome back Guy! Loving it and also the podcast, as it keeps getting better!
PS: I know you don't like P basses very much, but have you got any tune you fancy on which you played a Precision? I bet Eliza is feeling left out 😂
good shoutout to Norman
A big LOL to your video editor and his "..... some time later......" drop in
Ha, good job you didn't fluff the pedal change on stage :)
Your bass sound great in the vid. Is there a bit of drive or compression added?1
Lots of compression.
