Martin Anthonio16 Santa: goddamn it your fingers still unworthy for such masterpiece of dingwall, heres a 4string usd 100 yamaha bass for you to learn, get your fingers and your ass done nowwwwww
This is my favorite Phil Collins song... which is somewhat strange because it's not his most popular. Very simple lyrics but there is so much emotion in the song, which is authentic, because he's singing about the breakup with his wife. I always thought it was a great combination of traditional rock instruments with brass, sax etc... and of course fantastic bass.
This guy is a legend. Incredible bass player who has played with everyone. I saw him walking through the Namm show one time, I asked him if I could get a pic with him. Very nice humble man. 👍🏼
Nothing but the utmost respect for you Mr. Leland Sklar. Thank you for taking the time to grace us with your time and some bass playing. And likewise stay healthy and safe !!!
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do these. I love your playing, Phil and all the guys you mentioned. In times like this it’s great to listen to good music.
Effortlessly switching the right hand technique between 1 and 3 fingers, note perfect and the Sklar Signature Head Nod thrown in half way through for good measure at the tacet! What you are watching here is a talent bestowed on very few. What’s even more rare, is that it is bestowed on one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met! Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together and show your appreciation for Mr Leland Sklar...
Grew up listening to Phi Collins with the Tarzan soundtrack. When I was fresh out of high school I started to listen more to his work and then like that I became a fan of Collins. I have 2 of his albums on record now. No Jacket Required and Face Value. Love both albums so much.
Lee it was an honour to meet, work and chat with you on the TOTO gig in NYC a few years ago. That wasn't planned. I had just gotten off tour and was hanging out with my friend, before returning to Oz, who had been given the LX crew gig (although I'm an Audio Engineer & producer). He needed a hand so there we were. You may not recall our chat but you were very generous with your time and I'm fascinated by your story about the custom basses you have hand made in Canada. And I'm a guitarist! Ha ha. 😎 A few weeks before that I bumped into Rick Derringer too and hung out with him and his wife. So my tour was full of surprises. You're an incredible legend and a sincere human being. A humble gentleman. Hope we meet again. You stay safe, pal. John V.
Why would I not subscribe. It was great to bump into to you and your lovely wife outside the Pink Floyd exhibition several years back now. I still treasure those lovely pictures your wife took of us....keep rockin✌️
The Legend! Wow didn’t know you even had a TH-cam channel, so glad I found it, thank you for sharing your musical almighty wisdom with us! Look for to seeing more videos! 🙏👏🏼👍🏼
I still watch Today the Phil Collins DVD "Serious Hits ... Live!" Thanks Leland Sklar again today for that beautiful concert Greetings from Italy, and congratulations for this video
LeLand...Thank You! You are a "Prince", for taking the time to show us how you do your thing! We've met a couple of times. Once at a NAMM show in 2008 and we met a long time ago, when I unexpectedly got an "After Show" backstage pass in Kansas City at Kemper Arena in 1985, when you were touring with Phil on the NO JACKET REQUIRED Tour! I was the young crazy looking guy in red parachute pants, red and black tiger striped shirt with my collar flipped up and my hair defying gravity back then! My eyes were glued to your performance as I stood in the 4th row watching the concert...still amazing to me to this day! I'll never forget it! LOL! Our conversations were great and I remember them almost verbatim! Thank you always for being such a gentleman and taking the time to chat when the opportunity presents itself for us to be able to talk to you! You're THE BEST!
So glad to see You Mr Leland in private mode and having a chance to see You sharring your way of playing. This is awesome. Best regards from Poland. Piotr
You have been a major influence for me on bass for over 35 yrs, and to see you doing a master class like that, just wow .... thank you very much. Stay safe out there. See you next time you pass by Montréal, Canada. 👍
Leland, you have contributed to over 2,000 albums as a session musician. How can you play this rather obscure song by sheer memory?? For 72 years young (73 in about six weeks), that's amazing.. Much respect..
fretbuzz59 But have you noticed that the frets on his bass actually have different intonation? The lower notes near the end of the bass are slanted, pretty cool
@@kyle-style That's to compensate for the different scales lengths of the strings. The bridge and nut are both slanted such that the lower strings have longer scales.
A friend of the singer, he's a blast man jaja Mr Sklar, not seriously, as a drummer I am still amazed by Nicholas playing, superb and mature for his age, incredible!!
Great !!! What a coincidence that the drummer has the same name as the singer :-) i was on two shows in cologne. one last year and the other one two years ago. Can't get enough.
Glad I discovered this channel. This is what bass playing is all about. In the pocket, understated, but so powerfully providing a fundation, lifting up the entire song. Thats it. No over the top nonsense, just the strongest teamplaying ever. So much to learn here! Thanks. Subscribed!
This video literally just randomly showed up on my TH-cam ....... and I’m officially a fan from one bassist to another cheers good Sir💯🍻🎶 and I looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Lee Sklar rules!!!That's what I like to do, play/practice along with great bands, some not on the planet for decades now. Early Motown is a great teacher too.
Wow... now we can really see how much work is put into the bass line here! I mean, I saw Phil on this tour on three different occasions, and obviously - when there's the sax solo, all the attention is on George Shelby and yet - here's a full time bass solo right there!! Lee, your videos have become my daily home office routine :)
Thanks Lee, for posting these! This is how I would (try) to play songs like these. You have given me many ideas to help me refine my style. See you at the next NAMM!
Is fantastic to have a little distress in the middle of this crazyness, and specially from you, Lee! I fell embraced by the music, and enjoying even more! I was at Phill show in São Paulo, and you are the best! Thank you for the gift!
Who is so genius, so good musician, as to put a thumb down to such an idol. Thankful for having this channel, Leland. We have you in our ears and our hearts.
this is some really nice tone here, i had to take off my headphones for a second and make sure this guy wasn't actually shaking the floor in my apartment
I suppose the overlords at the TH-cam helm cancelled your old channel or something. Anyway, great to see you back. There's a million other artists I'd like to see you play with in the future. Hope you keep these informal videos coming.
“You’re a bassist Harry”
A bloody good one
Johnn Hello amen
"You're a hairy bassist"
Bwahahahaha! A talented one too! : )
murilo ninj agreed! 😂🔥
Only a bass player would make sure everyone got credit hahahahaha. Good on you. Sounds great!
When Gandalf starts playing bass - magic occurs
Santa, you were supposed to give me the 5 string bass, not keep it to yourself
Lol

This is awesome!
This is what i'm gonna look like when lockdown finally ends.
no it will continue ..: D
GOLD!
I feel sorry for you madam
Ends? It's still going on? What year is it?
oh you're learning bass?

Plot twist:- He was actually 17, short-haired and clean-shaven 4 days ago.
This guy is actually the bassist for The Section, and he played for Toto
So your plot twist is null and void.
Never even knew there was an original plot...
For those who had doubts, yeah: God plays bass, not guitar
CHECKMATE GUITARRISTS
Christian Vercellese Davie504 is that you incognito?
@@kiltymacbagpipe no, but i am posessed by the spirit of SLAPP
SLAP 👋 like now!
I dunno, I see more than 4 strings there...
*EPICO*
Sloppy??. That sounded fantastic. I've been listening to this man for decades. He 's among my favorite bassists
Let me save you a scroll. The comments are 50% "You're a bassist Harry", 50% "God is a bassist".
MtMarshi Don’t forget Santa!
MtMarshi Comment under this one is about gandalf so suck it marshi
MtMarshi Thanks
YES. One of my fav bassist. One of my fav songs.
So awesome to hear your bass part! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I always love watching Harry Kim perform in the band. He always looks as if he's having a great time!
This guy is a legend. Incredible bass player who has played with everyone. I saw him walking through the Namm show one time, I asked him if I could get a pic with him. Very nice humble man. 👍🏼

This is a great song. On the studio cut, the Marriage between the Bass and piano, and those Hanging Bass note. Here they Are Live. FANTASTIC !
Love this, man. You’re a freaking legend - so cool to see you on here
Es un "tipazo" !!! Sencillez pura! Un abrazo desde Argentina!

I have admired your work my entire life. thanks Leland.
The cooler the bass groove gets The fluffier your beard gets! It’s quite phenomenal!
You're a treasure Leland. Thank you for your work and contribution to the music community.
Bless.
You and your bass are 1
You wage the Dog.
You make that Bass bang the Gong every single time.
God bless you and your family Brother 👪 🙏 ❤️
You NEVER disappoint,dear fellow!

Leland's bass playing is just as legendary as that beard!!!
Belive or not, this guy has one of the best sounding fingerstyle in the world
Why would I not subscribe. It was great to bump into to you and your lovely wife outside the Pink Floyd exhibition several years back now. I still treasure those lovely pictures your wife took of us....keep rockin✌️
Wow geeez. Finally that youtube algorythm brought me to the right stuff.
I saw the thumbnail and instantly knew you were the bassist from Phil Collin's band! Glad to put a name to the talent ;-)
Man, you were all over the the fingerboard on this one!
Thanks for getting out of your comfort zone to show us how you do it.
RESIST, indeed.
The Legend! Wow didn’t know you even had a TH-cam channel, so glad I found it, thank you for sharing your musical almighty wisdom with us! Look for to seeing more videos! 🙏👏🏼👍🏼
Leland is one of the BEST bass players out there! He's played with the best. As far phrasing , he's probably one of the best 3 ever.
I still watch Today the Phil Collins DVD "Serious Hits ... Live!"
Thanks Leland Sklar again today for that beautiful concert
Greetings from Italy, and congratulations for this video
Your a true professional Leland, and a fantastic bass player 🙏🏴

Like a personal master class! Such fine intonation and timing.
"Such fine intonation" Frets will do that for ya.

@@kyle-style That's to compensate for the different scales lengths of the strings. The bridge and nut are both slanted such that the lower strings have longer scales.
What a great day!!! I get to play along with the great Leland Sklar, thankyou so much I have enjoyed your playing since the 70's .THANKYOU..What a joy
Thank you Leland, one of my all time favorite bassists. The bass in this particular song really brings the song alive - it is front and center.
A friend of the singer, he's a blast man jaja Mr Sklar, not seriously, as a drummer I am still amazed by Nicholas playing, superb and mature for his age, incredible!!
you are the man. You have been the man for a long long time.
Great !!! What a coincidence that the drummer has the same name as the singer :-) i was on two shows in cologne. one last year and the other one two years ago. Can't get enough.
Great, your incredible playing will attract walkers!
AH - Mr. Sklar! Thanks so much sir; always a pleasure.
What a TREAT your channel is! Thanks so much for sharing. 🦁
Awesome Leland, thanks for sharing. Interesting RH technique (between pickup and end of fretboard). Sounds great.
Thanks for doing these videos Leland! A master class in tasteful bass playing!
"A little sloppy". Well... I would be happy if I could play this so nice and clean. :-)
Glad I discovered this channel. This is what bass playing is all about. In the pocket, understated, but so powerfully providing a fundation, lifting up the entire song. Thats it. No over the top nonsense, just the strongest teamplaying ever. So much to learn here! Thanks. Subscribed!
Groovy, loved it thank you Leland Sklar!
We are listening to one of the most accomplished / best bass players that ever picked up the instrument!
Damn! Wish my playing was that "sloppy".
Outstanding!
Cheers.
Lee, your music is really helping me cope with this craziness that's going on in the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!
Lovely bass-playing. So musical. I enjoyed it a lot, thanks :O)
