I always [very] silently wondered to myself: “Self? Really? Not Donald nor Walter, nor Katz or any number of assistant engineers, -all with the ears of a savant wearing a stethoscope over cochlear implants, heard “slap-bass” from their A-list session bassist on their sonically impeccable follow-up record?” Haha. -Then again, it could’ve totally been like take #44! And they truly “never knew it was going down”. Ha. I am convinced however, they heard it on playback, and decided Chuck was right to “go down” there!
I was totally geeking on this song today and watching the covers. You're one of the few to slap in a critical part that Chuck Rainey felt important. Awesome!
I picked this video because of the good view of the fretboard..(a lot of covers you can't even see what's being played..).. But this version is killer playing, too! Nice work!
Emelie, So beautifully played and watching carefully learned from you how to play this. Your right hand was the part I needed to study and “it clicked”. Still working on the slap section…still learning your thumb 😊 Thank you!
I guess I’m just the “Wow Guy!” I can’t believe how effortlessly you do this. Thank you so much for doing these Steely Dan covers. You’re a joy to watch and learn from.
I regret to inform you those are only 2 notes played at the same time, thus, by definition not a chord. That doesn't make the playing any less impressive though 🤩
I'm asking for your advice. I don't know if this is the right way to do it.. I bought a long neck base and find it difficult to play with my short fingers. Do you suggest getting a short neck bass or keep going?
I also have small hands, so I know the struggle haha. It might be easier with a short scale bass, but you have to keep in mind the differences in how it will sound and feel like. What worked for me was using a short scale bass almost exclusively for a while. It really helped with my technique, and it made it easier to play long scale basses as well. It's also possible to just keep practicing and figure out what workes with your body. Maybe you could try one out before buying to see if you like it?
What a great cover, especially nailing all the ghost notes in this track (and there are many). Great tone, feel, and timing! Only thing I would question is whether the strings were a bit dead at this point? Not tryna criticise, just a question/observation 🤗
Geez.... this cute blond plays with such precision and eloquence all the while looking like she's bored as h*ll doing it!!!!!! Never even cracked a smile! If I could play that good, I'd be smiling all the way through the song!!
I’ve watched about a half dozen bass covers of this tune and she has the best overall sound and groove for it.
Bravo.
Sure made that look easy. Nice job. Nice looking bass too. 👍🏻
Excellent ! You got the syncopation in the slap part down just right! I’m not there yet.
yEA this in on my bucket list. that syncopation on the slap, the ghost notes and yea all the other parts. awesome
Great! They asked Chuck Rainey not to slap but he got away with it (in the chorus).
they had no idea it went down!
@@braedeenn You'd need to ask Chuck about the thumb thing
He said he set up a small curtain that he sat behind so they couldn't see
I just learned about that! How dare they tell CHuck Rainey what to do LOL!

Awesome job! Your plucking hand looks so effortless with those string skips, pinky mutes, and rakes. Something to aspire to.
Another great bass line! Glad to see you back on a little Steely Dan with some slap! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Oh man, I love those bass chords at 0:09 and again at 1:39. Well played Emilie.
