Lee has said that they set him up with a tiny amp beside Billy's huge drum kit. So he couldn't hear himself during the recording, otherwise he would have tried to sit more in the pocket. Based on that, your sound balance accurately reflects what Lee was hearing in the studio. Great job!
Many don't appreciate the restraint necessary playing a "simple" repetitive ostinato bassline. I can see a couple times where you closed your eyes and focused. I couldn't tell one place your meter was off this whole track. Nice!
Thanks! I agree, ostinatos are one of the hardest thing to play. I like your comparison with walking the stairs, it's true 😂 The secret for me was emptying my mind, focusing only on the music. It's fascinating how the bassline interacts with all the beautiful mess played by the rest of the band, in fact I chuckled a bit!
How do you mute the E string after plucking it for the F#...It seems you should mute it with the thumb of the plucking hand otherwise it will continue to ring in the background?
I mute the E immediately after playing the F#. When I play the open A string right after the F# the plucking finger rests on the E string. It's harder to explain than doing it, trust me!
Great job......nailed it!
Thanks Lee! i'm deeply honoured! Thanks for being such an inspiration on the music and human side. Virtual hugs!
Lee has played with so many legends... I think I remember him saying this was a way more difficult piece than it seemed. Nice Work!
Bass machine. Bravo!
Grazie mille!

Thanks for your kind words.
I agree with you, many don't appreciate it and think it's easy. Nothing further from the truth! 😅
@@luke_bass91 we both know that skill will get you gigs.
Lee would be proud. Great job
Thanks, much appreciated!
molto bravo
Very nice! I am comming ...
Nice job. It takes stamina to play and self control not break the groove.
Thanks a lot! Yes, it wasn't easy!
Very nice! 👍 I find it really hard to play such ostinatos, it’s almost like walking a stair: the moment I think about my feet I stumble…
