The greatest bass players (imo) are composers who happen to have solid bass technique and mastery over their sound. There are a ton of great players out there, but this separates the good from the great. What an amazing opportunity to watch a master at work!
Well done Jeff. I can relate to every aspect you pointed out. And the biggest point was play whats best for the music not your ego. Especially in the studio and for songs. It's so important for any bassist to know the role you play in an ensemble of any type. Attitude of gratitude . God Bless
Sound advice (lesson 4) that goes for the whole spectrum of instruments both live and in the studio, I think - when we were looking for a drummer we explained that what we really wanted was someone who could play songs on the drums, not someone who could "just" play drums. The first guy we auditioned just played the drums....
I've been on both sides of that issue... I remember trying to play Jaco licks over "Brown Eyed Girl" at one of my first wedding gigs. Thank God I got called back. 🤣Big part of being a musician is learning. 🎶
If you could choose to see anyone record - who would it be? I would love to see D'Angelo record!

I agree - coming up with a "great part" is a very different skill set than "playing." Pino is one of the best at both!

I love Pino Palladino = phenomenal bass player, humble & killer basslines. oNe LovE from NYC
Hey Michael, I agree 100%. They say "never meet your heroes," but when it comes to Pino I don't think anyone would be disappointed.
@@tastybasslicks He is "All Class"
@@michael_caz_nyc and "Top of the Class" 😀
Such great insight. So well explained. This is becoming my favorite bass channel.
Nice !!
I've wanted a channel like this for bass, forever. Amazing breakdown. Thank you!!
Great video man. And amen to playing for the song. 💪💪💪
Thank you, bro! I've got another coming out soon about my session with Freddie Washington!

@@tastybasslicks Difficult bassline to improve!
Excellent video!
My takeaway is “have an ego about the total song, not your individual part.”
Thanks for stopping by, I've definitely seen your videos before!
@@tastybasslicks your videos look much, much nicer than mine!😊
@@Below-Average_Joe Well, thank you. If you have any questions about how I get the shots, lighting, whatever email me at tastybasslicks@gmail.
@@tastybasslicks Thank you!
Could you post this video of Pino playing?

Hey Bruno, I will forward the request to Alain's team.
@@tastybasslicksYes. Thank you. I will follow your channel. If he sends it to you, will you put it on your channel?
@@brunonunes2065 yes!
