Genesis – A Trick of the Tail Bass part originally played by Mike Rutherford. Wonderfully melodic, it complements the harmonically complex, yet effortless music. Truly masterfully written. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

Phil Collins – Another Day in Paradise Bass part originally played by Leland Sklar. He recorded the bass part with an octaver. On the tour accompanying the album he also played it this way, but ditched the octaver on later tours and played an octave lower instead. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover

Silk Sonic – Leave the Door Open Bass part originally played by Brody Brown. I post a lot of music from the 70s, but the best song of this millennium can’t be missing, obviously. Contains some of the most elegant bass licks I’ve ever played. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

Commodores – Zoom Bass part originally played by Ronald LaPread. He began writing this song a couple of days after his wife Kathy Faye was diagnosed with terminal cancer. You can feel all the emotion poured into this song. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

Bob Marley & The Wailers – Could You Be Loved Bass part originally played by Aston Barrett. Although known for playing a Jazz Bass, there exists rehearsal footage of this song where he can be seen playing a Precision Bass. It is unclear which one he used in the studio. #bass #bassgroove #sirebass

The Crusaders – Hot’s It Bass part originally played by Wilton Felder. The 16th notes have a somewhat swing feel to it, especially in the drums, but are overall more straight than not. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

@carltonkirby.bsky.social @brismithy.bsky.social Last year, Torstein Træen wore the Red Jersey at the Vuelta for four days, and in 2019 Dylan Teuns wore it for a single day. That’s all grand tour leader’s jerseys in Bahrain – Victorious / Merida history. #giro

The Jackson 5 – I Want You Back Bass part originally played by Wilton Felder. There is no video footage of him playing this song, so I tried my best to analyse the original audio and recreate how I think he would have played it with regards to fret positions. #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

KC & The Sunshine Band – That’s the Way (I Like It) Bass part originally played by Richard Finch. Playing all or parts of the chorus in the higher octave – as he did varyingly live – helps circumventing the awkward octave jump upwards, which is tiring for the fretting hand. #bass #sirebass

Simply Red – Something Got Me Started Bass part originally played by Shaun Ward. A rather rare occurrence of Drop D tuning on bass. #sheetmusic #bass #basscover #bassgroove #sirebass

I just launched my new YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@CreagTunes/ Expect weekly bass cover videos and accompanying sheet music that is available through my website: creagtunes.com

@carltonkirby.bsky.social For anybody following your advice of making a note of beautiful spots discovered through cycling coverage: That stunning lake half an hour ago was not the Lago de Sant Maurici as labelled, but rather the Estany (or Lago) Gento 8 kilometers to the south. #LaVuelta25

@justinlarson.bsky.social @charm3r.com Just wanted to say thank you for casting the farewell tournament! Hearing you two again after so many years and thinking of the TESL period of my life brings back a lot of memories that make me rather emotional. Hope you are well!

@bgstatsapp.bsky.social Any chance the Auto-assign Ranks setting could be applied on a per-game basis? It’s different from game to game if ranks make any sense, and I can never decide if I want to leave that setting on or off.
