    "that was just a rough take" ...better than 99% of "final" bass parts from other players.
    What a beast, what a pro.

      @jostonpowell1346 Před 8 lety +1

      +Produce Like A Pro I forgot to ask did you guys have to layer the tracks with his Bass? Since he has two outputs for different tones I wasn't sure if you did some kind of blending of them or not.

    • @DolganoFF
      @DolganoFF Před 8 lety +1

      +Joston Powell at least in these videos he's tracking with one cable (going to p pickup)

  • @andycsaxton
    @andycsaxton Před 8 lety +94

    Any virtuoso musicians should take a leaf out of Billy's book. He could play anyone one under the table and be a dick about it (like some guys i know) but instead he is 100% humble, listens to critique VERY well and adapts to suit the style. Less is more, and applying build up if the songs ramps up. A real session guy! someone i have always looked up to since i started bass in 1996

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  Před 7 lety +6

    • @corychang3901
      @corychang3901 Před 3 lety

      Exactly! I looked up to Billy since I started on bass in 1988. His attitude is all in his playing, not in his persona. Not only is he a great player, he is a great teacher and motivator. An all around class act!

    @aportman58 Před 6 lety +6

    Billy Sheehan absolute phenomenal bassist. I've played bass religiously for over 40 years and still the bass is my love! Over the years there are very few bass players that capture and hook and I look to as an iconic bassist. Billy Sheehan is one of few favorites that I admire tremendously. Tight, tasteful, technical, and impeccable playing skill.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks so much for taking us inside this session. I met Billy way back in '85, when I was at GIT. He was a really nice, humble guy. I have always respected his playing and work ethic. It's great to see him still kicking ass after all of these long years.

    Really impressed. I've never seen Billy recording before and I'm really impressed on how quickly he does it. Especially the bit where he is asked to do the small run to complement the fill and he's only able to pull it off in the recording and manages to nail it the first time.

    • @Producelikeapro

    Had the pleasure of meeting Billy in Australia, after a Vai gig. Was a very gracious, polite, and humble guy. He was genuinely excited to sign my old records of his that I had. When you have a rare chance to meet you heros, you can only hope that they are like Billy, a wonderful human being.

    Ya f*n badass.

  • @drasgum
    @drasgum Před 4 lety +7

    this video helps me a lot, and not in the "playing hability", but how you approach a recording session, always calm, always listening what other people are saying, taking care of what the music needs more than trying to be the "best ", and that mistakes are part of the process.
    thanks for the video and to billy for being an inspiration!

  • @TheRealReTox
    @TheRealReTox Před 7 lety +3

    Seriously impressed with Billy's playing and professionalism. No nonsense with those tracks, no time wasting, just slamming it down super tight but with feels. Some musicians are just on a whole other level. What a delight to watch.

  • @MarkoTica
    @MarkoTica Před 8 lety +6

    when someone as big as Billy says "I sit every day, plugged in....", whole that part about knowing your instrument and your fingers/tools really says/teaches a lot. Really nice. Awesome tone. Loving that Bae more and more.
    Nice job as always Warren.
    Cheers

    I love the way Billy makes no secret he plays purely by feel rather than by numbers. Great tone and incredibly talented guy. Great video, insightful and relaxed. Great to see how people work and record in the real world. He seems very passionate about his playing and his basses. Not had the privilege of meeting him but would love to spend time with the guy.
    This guy is one of the gods of bass playing.

    @cfdemarco2 Před 8 lety +8

    That was priceless! I met Billy in '83, in Albany NY. I just got out of the army.
    My gal at the time said, "You gotta see this band, Talas, they have the best bassist EVER!
    I was immediately smitten with envy (bass being my primary instrument, and she being "my gal" LOL!)
    So I went to Talas at a local club in Schenectady NY.
    He and the other two band mates walked down from the upstairs dressing room.
    He had this guitar Strap with blinking lights. The house lights were down.
    All I saw, moving in the darkness were blinking lights; I was intrigued and filled with anticipation.
    They hit the stage, with, I think, "High Speed On Ice." I was no longer jealous; but a fan.
    I met Billy two other times in Los Angeles. Awesome guy, great musician. Thanks for sharing.

    • @Producelikeapro

I have met him a few times and he is always super cool.He is so dedicated to the art of playing bass and it shows. Mucho respecto. The Talas live album Live Speed Avon Ice is one of 3 vinyl records that I still have.

    Great video guys. I've been listening to Billy's stuff since the eighties. A few of us met Billy last year at the London Bass Guitar Show and got to hang out with for hours with him after the show. The guy is not only a living legend, but a true gentleman. The folks that say never meet your heroes, you'll be disappointed....... are so blatantly wrong!!!!

    So good. Produce like a pro is probably the best show I've ever seen on recording. It's pure. It's simple. It's real. Totally my speed. So many other shows that take place in the studio focus on how cool the studio is (which it is - duh), but this show seems to focus more on where the rubber meets the road. Other shows are great too, but between the interviews, tracking and the walk-through how to's it's all yummy brain candy. Thank you so much. Only watched three segments snd I'm hooked.

  • @Jedizen07
    @Jedizen07 Před 6 lety +4

    Every time I've had the chance to ask Billy ( at his seminars ) on how he records his bass parts for songs, I seem to get passed over ( haha--can't blame others for " important " questions like " What was it like to tour with David Lee Roth? " ). But this video is AWESOME! It shows Billy getting into the mind set of a songwriter as opposed to, say, flying over the track with riffs and fills. He's clearly in the groove and locked in with the drums. And he's a great guy too!

  • @JohnLloydDavis
    @JohnLloydDavis Před 3 lety +2

    Awesome. I noticed how he's actually listening to the song as he's playing so he can make his part fit like it was meant to be that way. Great player.

  • @thebassrogue
    @thebassrogue Před 5 lety +2

    Before watching this video i hadn't realized how much Billy's playing influenced mine over the years. there are many fills and the high octaves that i do a LOT and never saw i picked it up from his style. also, Billy is such a chill dude... I wish someday i can meet him!

  • @SoundBoss5150
    @SoundBoss5150 Před 8 lety +6

    I need to show this to some of the bass players I know. Not just because Billy is such a phenomenal bass player, but he's humble and doesn't take critique personally. His whole "I'm putty in your hands" attitude makes everything just so much more smooth and productive than simply having chops and good tone could ever count for.. although those are sortof important too :-P

    Such an unexpected gem! I had two five hour drives this weekend and pretty much had myself a Huart marathon. I've learned so much it's truly marvelous. Wrapping up on Sheehan explaining that he finds new sounds and tones in his strings and fingers every day and that pedals and gizmos and everything else carry you away from that reinforced every lesson I devoured prior. Play it well, get the mic right, leaves the tricks off the table. Thank you both for sharing this. Sincerely thank you

    One of the best videos on youtube. Billy Sheehan, of course, is fantastic. But watching him talk about practicing and seeing his enthusiasm...there's the reason why he's so great. He could have stopped exploring his instrument a long time ago. Thanks Warren...very inspiring. Thank you also to Billy for being open enough to allow people to see mistakes, retakes, and have a peek in to the reality of a real working professional.

  • @professorhamamoto
    @professorhamamoto Před 8 lety +12

    Highly instructive. Billy Sheehan at work while also lending insight into the creative process, paying homage to influences such as Rocco Prestia, and providing amusing anecdotes such as the one that traces the genealogy of his signature Yamaha bass back the basic DNA of the Fender Precision. Question: If the Fender Precision Bass was named for its being fretted and hence more precisely in tune (for the benefit of reassigned guitar players), then would a fretless model be called the Fender "Imprecision" Bass or would it keep the original designation? Great interview, Gentlemen.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  Před 7 lety +1

    This vid is so awesome. I've noticed there are 100's of videos on micing guitar speakers but almost none regarding bass. I was wondering if you find yourself micing bass rigs in the future could you film it? Most vids out there cover direct and amp Sans/sans amp etc. I'd like to learn about close and room mics along with what to expect with 10, 12, 15 inch characteristics and dealing with the tweeter. My brother is a fantastic slap bass player so any advice on compression with different styles would also be appreciated. Cheers!

    This is just wonderful. Billy Sheehan is such an inspiration to people who enjoy playing bass. For me (as someone who has only played in pubs/bars and small demo recording sessions for the past 20 years) to watch a player of Billy's calibre still laughing, joking, making mistakes and genuinely enjoying the instrument is glorious. He is living proof that you can be a 'stadium level' rock star and a humble, down to earth human being at the same time. Legend.

    I met Billy back in 1981 when his band was playing at a local college. At the end of their set, I went up to Billy and said, "yeah, I play bass too" LOL (young and stupid LOL). I have to say, he was the most generous, passionate about music and just overall nice guys I have met. After seeing this video, it seems he's still that same great guy!! His playing...... AMAZING...... and has always been. You could hear that he spent hours a day plucking those 4 strings!!! Great guy, great video!!!
