Satch is one of my favourites so, I just had to add this YouTube Video to the site. With a lot of the ‘great’ guitarists like steve vai and joe satriani, their experience, technique and knowledge is so far out of reach of the average student. Guys like Joe Satriani have incredible speed and accuracy, that I and many other just can’t get close to.
Anyway I found this movie tutorial on YouTube and thought it would be great to share because the skill level sits where an intermediate guitarist can get something from it.
Well this almost a copy of a post I have on my guitar player blog but everyone really needs to see this. As a bass player I look at this, I see it’s simplicity, I learn it, I play, it grooves. If you’re a guitarist you see how special the groove is and wonder why you didn’t take up bass. Guitarist will also develop a new respect for the bass guitar. There are a lot of rules in bass that you can’t stray from. Timing is paramount and rules of scale theory and chord construction need to be the rudiments. Patterns matter a lot less on bass and you need to be scrolling through music notation in your head when you’re playing anything off the root note.
Well here it is, probably the best Seinfeld Theme song performance on bass readily available on the internet.
