As a bassist, i appreciate your choices. I can make it through Rio decently... John Taylor is really good. I can't do Too Shy yet. Nick Beggs is well beyond my capability, especially with slap technique. Give Alanis Morrisettes you oughta know a listen. Flea stuff the bass... Not ridiculously difficult, but lots of clever parts and improvisations.

Hey man, not sure how I missed this comment. Apologies! That bassline in You Oughta Know is truly tasty, which I am only now able to admit.

It's funny, I was admiring the lyrics without realizing that the murder stuff was so literal. I think I like it even more now!

I lurv watching people crush Duran Duran bass lines 🤘 As a bass player I watched the Rio vid and immediately thought "they're using fingers 1 and 4 to cover a span of 2 frets, I wonder if their hand grows if they'll switch to 1 & 3 as is more common or stick with what's been working…" so thanks, now I have follow long term to find out 😜

I think this is an old video. IIRC, they look older in some of the more recent videos, so your questions may be answerable!

Yeah, I can hear that. It's crazy how influential Tame Impala is proving to be.

I sometimes wonder if kids picking up instruments in 2023 have YouTube in mind more than being in a band. We live in strange times.
