The bass player (Paul Jackson) was playing something else on the high frets. While we are talking about jazz, I never get tired of playing the bassline for All Blues. Free download of my cd!.

butcherNburn Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 If I had to pick only one.... Black Sabbath - NIB This is one of the songs (along with "Sunshine of your Love") that made me realize I was a bass player. Long before I picked up a string instrument. After that it would be one of Willy Dixon's blues classics (made famous by someone else). If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

jeremy c Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Amos Moses has a wonderful guitar part. I guess I missed the bass part, I haven't heard it in years. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONUT Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Yeah- I like the super funky country stuff. It also helps that the song makes me crack up everytime I hear it. A band I used to be in played Amos Moses and Eastbound and Down back to back. I used to wear one of those big foam cowboy hats when we played that stuff.

Raven Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Oh man.... there are so many..... one that I've always loved from the first time I heard it is Good Times, Bad Times by Led Zepplin. After that, pretty much anything John Paul Jones played.... BCR's homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Originally poated by jeremyc: John Paul Jones made one mistake on that track. No kidding....? I've never noticed that. I've worn out 2 vinyls and 2 cassettes of that album over the years. I'm going to have to try and find it now. Good thing the CD won't wear out. I have a feeling this will be a challenge....

LaCosaNostradamus Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Far too many favorites to list 'em all, so I'll give a few that always spring to mind. Greensleeves- John Coltrane (Jimmy Garrison) Another Day- Wings (Paul McCartney) One Of These Nights- The Eagles (Timothy B. Schmidt, I think) Stone In Love- Journey (?) For Once In My Life- Stevie Wonder (James Jamerson) It's A Shame- Spinners (Jamerson) Show And Tell- Al Wilson (Jamerson... and I'm not going to list any more Jamerson tunes, because they're kind of a given) America- Simon & Garfunkel (?) Always There- Ronnie Laws (?) That's The Way Of The World- Earth, Wind & Fire (Verdine White) Lately I've been listening to What A Fool Believes and It Keeps You Runnin' by the Doobies.

way2fat Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I love the behind the beat feel of Little Feat's Spanish Moon. Crossfire by SRV, first tune I picked out by ear by myself.
