As a fellow member of the Small Hand + Self-Taught club, I really appreciate Tina.
She's one of my bass heroes. Very crafty, melodic player. Most of the "hooks" in Talking Heads songs are in the bass lines. She started out as a fingerstyle acoustic guitarist -- hence the "play the E string with your thumb" peculiarity. But most of the time she's clearly playing with a pick.
I thought it was just me. I always see her using a pick.
Imagine forming a new band and one of your first songs is Psycho Killer with *that* iconic bassline. Amazing
Great video. Her bass lines are proof that a great groove doesn’t have to be super complex.
It's usually not.
This was great, I always thought she was underrated as a bassist so I definitely enjoyed this video
Talking Heads was a really creative band to day nothing comes close to what they were doing.
Self learning bass and I also naturally play PK with my thumb like her. . .girl power!
Tina Weymouth contradicts so many cliches we as bass players have to cope with:
- Groove hard!... No. Just stay in the pocket and play consistent.
- Jazz Bass! Pee Bass!...No. Anything with thick strings will do the job.
- Know your fretboard, learn arpeggios!...No. Just pick the central notes and do the job.
- Variations!...No. Simplicity and stubborness.
- Cool and charismatic stage presence! Be more like Flea!...No. It's ok to move awkward and quirky, or hardly at all.
- The coolest and biggest amp! Ampeg!...No. Anything that does not break on stage.
I feel like a lot of this goes for Talking Heads as a band. They did care about being showy, they just wanted it to work. And it's fantastic and unique because of it.
You can't be more cool and charismatics than the bassist from Talking Heads
Would like a video talking about Kim Gordon next!
Finally!! Tina Weymonth is very underrated, love her style
Early on, she did that thing with her thumb on the low string, picking the other strings with her fingers. If you watch her doing this, she swings her elbow out to a completely different position for using the fingers. This looks awkward and would probably cause physical injury if repeated too much.
Oddly, as the band got deeper into using funk elements, she used the pick more. She never really adopted the Larry Graham thumb technique.
She really supercharged the sound of the band.
She's such a natural.
Love the player analysis videos!!!!!
Love her! Awesome bass player!
When I first started listening to TH, the bass line of each song is what really grabbed me. Didn’t hurt that she was cute also.
There is no point in criticising Weymouth's style or technique. However she got there, she definitely absolutely got there. Her bass line on "Once In a Lifetime" mesmerized me for years, and still does.
Great video.would love one about Oliver from Rammstein or Shavo From S.O.A.D
I'm glad this video was made. It would have been interesting to include her work with the Gorillaz, but I get the scope here.
Great job! Love her so much!
she's awesome, great cover. mike gordon from phish
Tina is not a slippery person, she's nothing but flowers
Great video once again Paul. Also if no one has suggested him Armistead Burwell Smith IV would make an interesting subject for a future video I think.
Great video as always! Tina is very underrated, but has lots of very coll bass lines
Bellissimo video! Grande!!!
I would love to see a bass habits video of
Jerry only- Misfits
Nate Mendel-Foo Fighters
Frank Bello- Anthrax
Tom Araya-Slayer
Robert Trujillo -Metallica
As a female bass player from the 70s she's so great, her bass lines are so sick, I mean listen to phyco killer, it's great
could you cover lou barlow from dinosaur jr next
Interesting - same style I developed for myself, self-taught in the mid-70s. Still use it to this day.
Another fantastic episode. Great series Paul.
Great! Many thanx for your videos. What about Gary Thain of Uriah Heep?
interesting about the open strings, tried playing PK like that and it was fail.... It would take some practice, muscle memory is to strong.
Would love to see a comparison of Tina Weymouth and Laura Lee of Khruangbin. Similar that they started playing bass & very shortly we’re in bands that gained popularity.
Great video, love her playing. (And I also love this series of videos)
I didn't realize I hadn't subscribed to your channel. (Fixed that)
... but what about her work in Tom Tom Club?
Paul’s videos, fantastic as always but I too was hoping for some Tom Tom Club examples.
Great video.
Very informative, thank you👏🇦🇺🙏
wyatt from the garden next
Another great EP as always
For an upcoming one, what About Chris Edwards from Kasabian, he has a bunch of cool basslines to dive in, such as
LSF
Club Foot
Vlad the Impaler
Stevie
Club foot's my favourite
Tina besto waifu
She seemed to use a Hofner 500/2 a lot.
Paul do Kiss of Death by Dokken.
How about a video on Derek Forbes best know for his work with Simple Minds and his lead bass style. Forbes is possibly the most underrated bassists in the world.
Pauloo!!! What is the bass in 4:45??? Does anyone know???
I never noticed they had a female bass player.
Psycho Killer made me want to play bass. Weymouth and I share a birthday. Coincidence????
People don't play the open strings for tone consistency. Tina, and you in the example you played, have no consistency issues. Therefore there's no reason except convention for you not to play open strings
I was late to see and enjoy this! I have so many Bass player TH-cam subscriptions! This channel is excellent education, and humorous! I will recommend "pertybass" channel. He is from the "middle east " and plays modern music unfamiliar to me, but always Interesting. Thank you very much for sharing!
I said it many times but I'll say it again: '' How to play like dUg Pinnick of KING's X''
