Wow thanks man for acknowledging Colin! He is like a shining north star for my bass playing :) I loved Radiohead for a decade but i only started to realize Colin's after i started playing bass
DEFINITELY need to make a Radiohead video. - Paranoid Android - Nude - Exit Music (For a Film) - Jigsaw Falling Into Place - 15 Step - The National Anthem So many more… but those would make for a great breakdown video.
If you really want to appreciate the bass line in "15 Step," I recommend checking out the From the Basement recording of it. The mix makes the bass a little easier to hear. Plus, you have the visuals of Colin playing.
Thanks guys for a great follow up & Shaz (& team) in the background for working their magic. I love the enthusiasm people have for certain tunes / players. There are times when I feel like the only way I'm gonna get this much into the groove is if I buy a humongous pair of pants/trousers, with an equally humongous pocket in which to fit my bass guitar !
For great Ray Brown bass lines, you need to listen to "After Hours". It was a mostly improvised record of three improvisational geniuses (one run-through each of tunes familiar to the three, then one-take recording) : Ray Brown on bass, Andre Previn on piano, and Joe Pass on guitar. It's staggering how well they fit and how well they listened to each other.
Killer video as always gang! listening to you guys talk about bass players that really influenced you...colin greenwood is a favorite of mine...and so underrated...it got me thinking about underrated bass players...i have one...i actually have the most underrated one ever...Brad Smith of Blind Melon...there is really no footage of him talking bass...which is honestly a travesty on the bass community. 1) he is one of the best pocket bassists ever 2) is not afraid to be unorthodox, and yet still serve the song 3) one of the greatest backup singers on the planet earth...boys...if you get this man in a room and let him talk bass for an hour...you can put me on a rocket and send me to the sun!
Very cool video!!! Very interesting and nice tunes, love Squib cakes and Days of wine and roses 🌹 As a jazz bass player and fusion lover, I'd like to see Alain Caron doing something like this
Nick is trying to figure out where this stuff comes from some of these melodies, it's a lot of stuff and it's almost like clasically influenced music on darling dear. Michael did Jazz and somehow, wanted classical at the same time and this must have had some ripple effect with Motown. You can actually google it, I did that and bingo. How many guys in Motown had a heavy Classical influence and not Jazz ?. Ahmad Jamal, Ray Brown a stand up guy ?. Oscar Peterson ?. Another thing that nobody talks about is Michael with his classical influence, to add to my never ending list of things people never talk about, like certain people. Colin Greenwood that is some good stuff. I am still getting used to the quality headphones, optics and man I am really hearing and seeing some art better than ever before, it's because there's double the pixels and sound bytes now and I feel like the dude in the old Maxell commercial, on the couch wearing sunglasses with his headphones on being blown away. I can't believe the colors sometimes, with the sights or sounds I can pull up. This video sounds ridiculously good now, certain headphones are not equal and price does not matter. Most of us use the same ones for a reason, they are like clear as a bell and have bass on top of it, you guys don't hear that ?. The word clarity does not cover it, maybe double clarity to my ears and instantly I went whoaaaa, coming from a 400$ pair to 125 $ ?. Time for a garage sale headphone deal, cause I would no longer use the other. Nobody uses Shure otherwise I would give them a try, just to hear them, but If I hadn't seen players using BD, I never would have tried and been surprised by how good they sound and I did see some very positive videos. Changed my entire listening experience, maybe 100% and the bass ones sound dull and boring.
TOP is no joke. I remember when I heard the fingerfunk 16th note shit with Rocco and Jaco, the first time, it hit me in my soul. It's like I just tasted a flavor that I didn't know was possible and it was instantly my favorite food. I am going to hook y'all up (IMHO) Here's my bass/funk life-moments, when I got hit right in the soul by some funky ass bass: ================================ * th-cam.com/video/Ok46qBB4VaE/w-d-xo.html. Educated Bump by TOP with the late, great Rocco Prestia on Bass * th-cam.com/video/9oHhtUvL7mU/w-d-xo.html A RHCP 16th note slap groove that hit me as a child before I ever picked up a bass guitar, was "Blackeyed Blonde" which I heard in the Skateboarding movie "Thrashin'", which I watched over and over, renting it from the Video Store (you youngins' don't know nothing about that, and I am sorry for you that you missed it) * th-cam.com/video/PE6HmArln_k/w-d-xo.html The bridge from Jaco's come on, come over * th-cam.com/video/zrr3GQLzceo/w-d-xo.html Larry Graham with GCS: "Entrow", when the beat finally drops ================================ Honorable mentions for funky ass shit: ================================ * th-cam.com/video/b1Y9w_sC8Vw/w-d-xo.html. Paul Jackson with Mike Clark (both from Herbie Hancock's Headhunters band) th-cam.com/video/b1Y9w_sC8Vw/w-d-xo.html from a japanese instructional rhythm section funk video This is a funky as it gets, but since I only learned about this recording in the last few years, it isn't in my lifetime funk-moments list yet. *. th-cam.com/video/xnZw2GkOXj4/w-d-xo.html Christian McBride on Electric bass with Brian Blade on drums ================================ Tommy the cat by Primus is probably one of the top ones and the reason I started playing bass, but everyone already knows that one, it's like saying RHCP higher ground, not even worth mentioning, probably, at least not here, amongst other bassists. IYK, YK. **** You're welcome!! ****
Gosh, I'm glad that he doesn't play a short scale... I may never have heard of this talented and charismatic person! Thanks for posting another video featuring Nick Campbell. All the best. (This comment is referencing a recent video published on the same channel)
@nickd.6365 Idk ......Fenders been making them since 66' something like that seems to be immortal......instruments /music age .....trends die! I just use my own mind as I age .. U can follow a trend off a cliff 🤣 Bless up Bro
Hmmm....Hammond B3 came out in the late 40's, the P Bass was the 50's, the guitar player was playing a 53 Les Paul the horns were all invented and improved by the 20's .the drum kit was the 20's...SQUIB CAKES is really very very vintage...
You just gave me the need to listen once more to 'This one's for Blanton', by Duke Ellington and Ray Brown. That's also some great walking bass! th-cam.com/video/fIulargFc84/w-d-xo.html
I actually gave up on this video about half way through, not because of the subject or the content, both excellent, but because of the word 'Like' - PLEASE learn how to have a discussion without saying 'Like' every other word. It's annoying, distracting and, like (sic), unnecessary.
@@devinebass Viktor Wooten said that he has focal dystonia. But somehow he is playing now. In addition, I have heard that there are many musicians who completely got rid of the symptoms of focal dystonia.
@m.s.8489 There is no known cure. Otherwise, I'm sure Scott and Victor would be the first to sign up. Some people have managed to work around it, but this doesn't work for everyone. Everyone experiences different symptoms.
As a drummer, it’s great to learn how bass players feel about tunes that are equally important to drummers.
United in rhythm and feel.
As a bassist, it’s been v important to me to learn something from all the drummers I’ve played with so yea brother, united indeed💪🏻🤙🏻
Wow thanks man for acknowledging Colin! He is like a shining north star for my bass playing :) I loved Radiohead for a decade but i only started to realize Colin's after i started playing bass
Aa
Nude bass line has been one of the main reasons I started to learn bass and why I have a p-bass
DEFINITELY need to make a Radiohead video.
- Paranoid Android
- Nude
- Exit Music (For a Film)
- Jigsaw Falling Into Place
- 15 Step
- The National Anthem
So many more… but those would make for a great breakdown video.
can't forget about Weird Fishes too! Colin went off with his In Rainbows performances.
Just
"Airbag" has some unique playing too. Colin makes so many weird choices with timing and the use of space that I've never heard from another bassist.
Let’s not forget Chester Thompson’s great organ pedal work during the B3 solo of Squib Cakes.
If you really want to appreciate the bass line in "15 Step," I recommend checking out the From the Basement recording of it. The mix makes the bass a little easier to hear. Plus, you have the visuals of Colin playing.
Rocco Prestia once said he is a busy player. He said it's OK to be busy, as long as you aren't stepping on anyone else. I loved that!
Loved this! A video on Colin Greenwood would be awesome. Super underrated bassist that isn't talked about enough
Thanks guys for a great follow up & Shaz (& team) in the background for working their magic. I love the enthusiasm people have for certain tunes / players.
There are times when I feel like the only way I'm gonna get this much into the groove is if I buy a humongous pair of pants/trousers, with an equally humongous pocket in which to fit my bass guitar !
It’s kind of crazy how few pics there are of James Jamerson lol it feels like everyone on TH-cam uses the same one that’s in this thumbnail
I have admired his playing for years on Scary Pockets and Pomplamoose!
🧡🧡🧡
His work with jack conte across all platforms is incredibly entertaining

It's staggering how well they fit and how well they listened to each other.
Tower of Power's What is Hip is one of the first songs I point to for bass playing.
🧡🧡🧡
I enjoyed this so much, i watched it two times in a row. Im always on the lookout for great music/musicians.
Glad you enjoyed it, Nick is well worth checking out!!
Love your enthusiasm! I'm not even really a bass player but this was a pleasure to watch.
His work with Scary Pockets is always great. So spot on, elegant and groovy
💯💯💯
yes - you need to make a Colin Greenwood video :)
Amen
We saw Nick play with Scary Pockets and the HR Big Band here in Frankfurt. He was absolutely outstanding. A remarkable player.
That must have been a great show!!!
Finally some Colin Greenwood love on this channel, that man's basslines are something else
PLEASE you two make a Radiohead special! Colin Greenwood is an unsung master

I can never get enough Nick Campbell! You all can definitely keep bringing him back!
Agreed!
Yup
Love this chat with Nick. His pentatonic course on SBL is great, too!
Very cool video!!! Very interesting and nice tunes, love Squib cakes and Days of wine and roses 🌹
As a jazz bass player and fusion lover, I'd like to see Alain Caron doing something like this
Bass, drums, vocals is my starting point for every mix. This was awesome!
👍👍👍

Rocco was my first bass love also. Seen him play live so many times.
The bass line on "Darling Dear" by the Jackson Five? Good grief. It was before my time but the song was nice.
🔥🔥🔥
Which podcast did you guys talk about Havona?
Gosh, I'm glad that he doesn't play a short scale... I may never have heard of this talented and charismatic person! Thanks for posting another video featuring Nick Campbell. All the best.

He actually does 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Mitata72 Yeah a modified Fender Musicmaster 😄
@nickd.6365 I was like ......hey!? What's up with that!!! Its like a signature sound of his
@@Mitata72 It's a cool bass & quite unique.... Though I was somewhat led to believe recently that short scale basses are dead? 😉

Bless up Bro
The Radiohead bassline remembers me some bass lines of Ozric Tentacles.
Always great watching Nick Campbell and Ian Allison!
Love all of this, fabulous. Never saw Rocco Live but saw Jaco
It’s hard to devote attention to anything else when Oscar is playing
Yes please a RH video ❤
Listen again to that Ray Brown. Yes, those phrases are heavily quarter notes, but there really are a fair number of grace notes.
Who the hell was the drummer in his high school jazz combo?
I don't know Nick from Funk world, I simply respect his art...how hard is that ?.
Of course you should make a Radiohead video !!! :)
Need to do a Mike Mills REM and INXS Gary Garry Beers video
it always comes back to Jamerson.
Yeaaaaah I love it when people bring up Tower of Power - that's the music I grew up with, Rocco was amazing!
🧡🧡🧡

Rocco Prestia needs his own video
What Radiohead album do I start with?
OK Computer, then listen through chronologically
@@mrebear9758 Wo, there! You’re going to relegate The Bends to oblivion?
@@fromchomleystreet No exactly, but it's not their finest work and is dangerously close to Coldplay at times.
Is this the guy who play with Poomplamose?
Yes indeed!
I've seen NIck twice in concert in Paris, what a great musician !
🔥🔥🔥
Please make a video about the difference between slapping on a 4 vs. 5 vs. 6 bass. Please. There are none on TH-cam
Radiohead video when?
Paul Jackson in a similar vein with Herbie Hankock
John Entwistle
If only I had the depth of knowledge and ability of Ian...
Time, patience and practice!!
Nick does a good job!
He does a very good job indeed!
You just gave me the need to listen once more to 'This one's for Blanton', by Duke Ellington and Ray Brown.
That's also some great walking bass! th-cam.com/video/fIulargFc84/w-d-xo.html
"If you straightened out Ray Brown..." Yikes! 🔥
Please do a Radiohead vid!!
We may do at some point!
I saw the thumbnail and thought "Jah Wobble isn't from LA?"
Do Radiohead and the Smile.
Squib Cakes !!! ❤
My favorite Radiohead bass line is National Anthem
Darling Dear is PEAK Jamerson …
Rest in peace Rocco !
4:49 edible kicked in 😄
Ohhhhhhhh yeeeeessssss 💞❤
Who is everyone in LA talking about, I must have missed it.
Nickelback & Creed 🤣🤣
Nickelback & Creed 🤣🤣
I missed it as well ... Energy is just not here !!
Tasty licks!
AND Scott isn't a Fan of James Jamerson.
Nick Campbell destroyyyys!
🔥🔥🔥
He is good bass player.
bro the bass line from specter is FUCKING LIT that turned me into colan fan
My iron lung!!! If you know you know.
I love Ian’s shirts. Where does get them?

Круто !!!
Usually I totally enjoy these videos ...keep them coming !!
But this guy just sucks the life outta everyone
The energy is gone !

I'm not :P
Darling Dear - played by Nick himself

Nope. Not for me this time. Swing and a miss... Sorry!
Lost me at 15 steps….
Oh that’s too bad!! Incredible line and player.
"Plz respect my art"? Total cringe.
It's just a hat . Jeez... relax dude .
Yeah I find that a little off putting.
Better late than never
