  • The Who. Clapton. John Mayer. Erykah Badu. Elton John. Melissa Etheridge. NIN. Pino Palladino has provided memorable bass work for all of these artists, and so many more (it's honestly easier to name those he hasn't work with than those he has.) Today, Jake is walking through some classic Palladino lines played during his time with the Soulquarians (among them José James, Questlove, Badu & D'Angelo.)

    When I was seventeen I was asked by a mate who played really good rhythm guitar to "operate" the lights for a band which was called Dr. Hywel Ffiaidd. A Welsh language band in Wales who were doing a couple of nights in Swansea in August '79. They had called my mate in to play with the band. I ended up in a basement studio in Cardiff dockland (then rough as hell) watching the rehearsals. There I met Mr. Paladino. Being up close to such talent was very humbling. Great guy - really laid back but his talent was awesome. Was not shocked to see him play with other Welsh bands for a year or so before he went on and I picked him out on the radio straight away when Paul Young pulled him in with Wherever I Lay My Hat. Spent three or four days tagging along for the band's gig - don't think he actually spoke to me directly and I was too respectful to try and tune in with him and the rest of the band. Just listened to the grown ups and sat there with my mate!

    Pino is a Beast. Love his playing. Super humble, Extremely Talented and so UnderRated. If you enjoy his bass playing, you might also appreciate: Paul S. Denman from: Sade Band, Maxwell, Cottonbelly and Sweetback ( 4 great projects & Killer Grooves ). This was really informative and well done. Thanks for Sharing.

    • @kkgleed

      @@ramzahnY I read it was from setting up his bass with LaBella heavy gauge strings (popularized by James Jamerson) but being wary of the amount of tension those strings have on a bass neck when tuned to standard. Playing with those heavy strings with that much tension requires a lot of strength and endurance. So I think not only being a work around to achieve lower tones but also playability with those heavy strings.

    Yea for the stuff Pino played with D'Angelo he definitely added his own flavor but D'Angelo wrote most of those basslines. "Send It On" in particular was a Kool and the Gang interpolation. czcams.com/video/86VMYJVdNUg/video.html

    • @sunsp.t
      @sunsp.t Před 6 lety +2

      Yeah, D'angelo wrote a lot of the basslines on Rhodes - you can hear on songs like One Mo Gin they're both playing the bassline. Using Really Love as an example, they say that Pino can mimic D'angelo's feel so precisely, they sometimes can't tell who played the bassline. But the flavor and melodic direction that Pino adds keeps you coming back again and again.
