licks

Thought I'd post a little demonstration of how i like to use pentatonic over the major chords to extend the harmony.

Hi everyone, I trust that if this topic has been covered here you'll tell me and I can redirect. Until that happens, let me expand on the thread title: As a preface, I would consider myself an intermediate to pro electric player. I gravitate to funk, including all of funk's siblings and cousin...

Lots of weird 80s-ness here, but Hungate’s Chuck Rainey-style double-stops and slides are awesome. Sweet bass sound tone, too (P or BB my guess). Enjoy...it all!!

I've been trying to incorporate more arpeggios into my playing, both lines and solos. But, just focusing on lines for the moment, going through my transcriptions I find RB likes to drop from TP to the nut with an arpeggio in the middle of the drop and I have a few others but I'm having trouble...

Hello guys! New poster here, long lurker in the past. I write this post because even though I've been playing bass for relative low time (almost 2 years), I want to go ahead and start studying the greats of electric bass guitar. I'm looking for a good method of study guys like James Jamerson...

Where on this site can i find a few new jazz or rock, fusion licks to practice weekly ? just wondered if there was such a place. Been playing a little while but i'm no pro. Maybe something begginer to intermediate. Help with flying fingers . Tabs would be ok too if available. If it costs maybe...

Available - 2 Metallica Books Metallica Legendary Bass Licks with CD: Kill 'em All through Reload Metallica Death Magnetic Bass and Vocal $23 or best cash offer. Thanks for looking.

The bassist is MIYA , of the Japanese punk/jazz/hardcore band 385. She recently recorded a quick demonstration video for two of her licks. I'm a fairly fresh player and this might aswell be rocket science to me. Can anyone help me even begin to understand what she's doing here.

Over the course of transcribing songs I've found a bunch of really cool licks to apply over chords and chord progressions, but I'm now wishing I could easily reference them so I can practice them and apply them to my playing. Has anyone here ever created a "lick library" -- whether on paper or...

Hi there, I'm a big fan of Jerry Jemmott's playing. Only just stumbled across this cool clip. This Hot Licks video sounds like it'd be right up my alley. A few problems- long out of production, can't see it secondhand anywhere, never transferred to DVD?, I don't have a video player. Any seen it...

We've all suffered through playing mediocre songs just to get to that one cool lick. Let's list them! Michael McDonal-I Keep Forgeting The lick just before the fade out is pure bass joy.

I'm not talking something huge in a song, but something small that you might miss the first time you hear a song, but when you start to break down the bass line, something makes you say "cool". Example - Boston's Rock and Roll Band. The verse is a basic riff going from the E to the A chord...

And wanted to share it here. New lick every monday!! Check it out if you are interested, and if you like the videos i post and you wanna suscribe it means a lot to me!... if you want, if not i understand..

Chuck Rainey must have overdubbed the high register licks?

Hi all! I don´t know if this is the correct thread for this but here I go. I´m new here and I´m starting a new Youtube channel in which I will cover the entire Megadeth discography (possibly others later) showing the most difficult and tricky parts at the end. I would thank your support...

I'm revising the sophomore barrier exam for the U, and would like skew the material away from the same bebop heads that the horn players have to do and make it a bit more bass centric and include practical stuff that bass players should know out on a gig in the real world. Help brainstorming...

Hi, I need help finding cool licks to end songs with in different types of scales. I'm thinking specifically about the final chord of upbeat songs when everybody hits the root and shows off I'm not sure what its called in english but if you skip to 3:13 on this video I think you'll...
