      At first I thought it was a voice actor but then the dreaded context dependent 'live' was pronounced liv instead of the correct lyve. This is one of the better automated voice tools though. Sad thing is give it 3 to 5 more years and those telltale mispronunciations will start to vanish. But good catch, I had to listen a few minutes to hear the first error.
      I generally just use the don't recommend channel option to dump automated content and narration but this one isn't that bad .

      I saw "Yes" in 1972 live in a smaller venue- amazing. All are or we're amazing musicians and a truly epic show. I've seen Cream, Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills and Nash and many more and Yes is in the top 10. I also remember seeing Cream for $8 per seat in 1968 when I was 16. Remember when normal people could afford a concert? U2 in Vegas is $10,000 per seat for the best seats- madness.

    Years ago, I was at a Yes concert at an outdoor venue, with very young guys sitting in the row immediately in front of me and my friend. For the whole concert they were raving about Trevor Rabin. When the band started playing Heart of the Sunrise, I leaned forward in the midst of these young guys and told them, "Watch the bass!"
    For the rest of the concert there was no more mention of Rabin. It was all, glowingly, Chris Squire.
    If you've never listened to Heart of the Sunrise, you must.

      I kept seeing cover bands play that part and it never sounded as punchy or as intense (especially if done with fingers instead of a pick). Once I started playing it in cover bands I kept trying to match the LP by just hitting the strings as hard as I could with a pick. It never got there but this video points the riff out and how he got it. Wish I had seen it then because I write original music doing just that. Two or more strings at once add depth. I thought I read a while back he used and 8-srtring Hagstrom but....

      Bass doesn't have to be overcomplicated or technical to really make the song. But when it is ptevalent pumping out eighths between guitar riffs still most don't really reckognize it.

    It is far from difficult to pinpoint how each of those people impacted Geddy as a musician. It has always made sense to me that he could not have come up with many of the different parts that he fashioned for Rush If it hadn't been for somebody like John Paul Jones, not just in the bass-playing department but in the synthesizer-playing department. On the whole, it's also easy for me to relate to why each of those musicians was such an important motivator for Geddy. If you included him in that list, I wanted a different stages to be like all five of them whenever I was relegated to the base chair in a band, but there was a whole lot of back-and-forth between the people who were in charge wanting me to just "stay in my place" and me wanting to be an actual front liner.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's so sad that all these young folks don't remember Berry Oakley. He was a monster on bass. He's the one that turned Whipping Post from a ballad into such a menacing sound. If you listen to the Fillmore East album and the live half of Eat a peach, you realize they played 14 minutes of Liz Reed, then 24 minutes of Whipping Post, then over 30 minutes of Mountain Jam. Mountain Jam is the one song I've never been able to master on bass. It's so complicated. And on Berry's solo, he uses biads and triads and all kinds of unnatural things. RIP Berry. I respect you!

What a show YES was mesmerizing they were truly amazing I have always been a big YES fan.

    As astute of an arranger Jones is, he’s quite an experienced pick player. He’s was essentially the secondary guitarist in LZ - his picking skills executed with extreme precision. All the prior session work he did offered Zeppelin a sophisticated atmosphere. Check out the Cat Stevens song: Matthew And Son to get some perspective on my claim. I believe he’s using a Fender Bass VI on this track. The “tic-tac” sound.

    John Paul Jones is THE most underrated bass player of all time! Overshadowed by the rest of the band, he was the most talented multi-instrumentalist and bass player.... When Zep had a violin, mandolin, keyboard or piano part do you think they went out and got some $2 hooker to play? Hell no! That's John Paul Jones! (P.S. John Entwistle, although not mentioned in this vid, was very underrated as well.)

    C,mon you guys, everyone here has completely forgotten two of the best of all time. #1. Is from the classic T.V. show The Partridge Family from the early 70’s Danny Partridge. #2 1/2. I mean # to and a half From the mid 1980’s you got Derek Smalls of the legendary band Spinal Tap. # number thr e # 3 # I think he, Retired recently because finding his way off stage has become a great difficulty, not to mention airplane steps but I will- Airplane steps trip him up, he is definitely a trip but a nice guy It’s sloppy joe bye then. And @ numb skull I-mean numb er 7 of my top three bass players on this top ten list is Me Kamella. I should have let everyone know that I come from a middle class family and tried my best to make it legal for women to be able to vote in this election, I have to be unburdened by the unburdening that unburdens my favorite Bass, it’s a large mouth Sea Bass I practice scales on it until my fingers get 2 scaley ah ka ha ha ha kah ha ha right? Haha ha I know.. Just having a little fun every one relax and enjoy life a little more, we all deserve that and like joe would always say and I quote Ydalways sa */7542+&* feragwzhmmm ah o i c u 8 1 2 2 c u p t.

    • @calebblow6846

      Try listening to Jaco's bass part on Al Dimeola's '' Land Of The Midnight Sun '' album ( the track " Golden Dawn " ) I'm a lifelong bass player , and I consider it the most exciting bass part I've heard . ( The 3rd movement of the piece ) . Take care .

    • @normg2242
      @normg2242 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree. Bass players measure themselves by how well they can imitate Jaco's playing. In reality what made Jaco great was the exact opposite - trying his best NOT to be like someone else...!
