Doug Wimbish annd Will Calhoun ( of Living Colour )

I just love this. Will provides an anchor while Doug travels to other dimensions.

I think Doug misspoke in this video. If this groove were in the key of G, it wouldn't contain an F as the seventh. His groove, therefore, would spell out the key of C. Slip of the tongue not withstanding, Doug is among the elite. Such an inspiration to me...I'm always humbled to hear him practice his craft.

@shwalton75

I don't believe he misspoke. The groove is pretty ambiguous as far as the mode he's playing. The tonic is G, and he's using a flat seventh like you mentioned, but you could say that it's tonality is fairly liquid - especially in groove based music. It's not uncommon to hear a flat seventh over simple major chords in blues/funk, just as it's not uncommon for musicians to colloquially refer to the appropriate tonic as the "key".

[diggablemanny]

Isn't this basically funk. The hip hop basslines I play are usually jazzy.

[yamakasko]

That's cool bassline. It's from the Pleasure's song Joyous ;)

[62erPrecision]

why does he need that much fx? its pretty lame...

[EthnHayabusa]

He didn't use any effects on this clip.If you are referring to his pedal board, then I find that as relevant as asking an orchestra why they use so many instruments.

[62erPrecision]

@EthnHayabusa

i didnt mean especially THIS clip.. on the whole i dont like that much fx :P

[tatt4music]

that is an ibanez bass in this video.But now he plays mostly spector

[yocotte]

"Less is more"... he should shout that to Vernon's ears when he does a guitar solo...

[eggsnoggins]

...Hey, that's actually pretty funny.

[dademodamian]

@yocotte Nah screw that. I see where you're coming from, but I say let Vernon do his crazy shit in his unique way!

[leveeisbroken]

my favourite hip hop bassline is rapper delight

[HammondB200]

what bass is that?

[STUCKintheBUSH]

Doug plays Spector bass

[HammondB200]

Duhh, I'm talking 'bout the model

[EthnHayabusa]

He used an Ibanez on this clip, and that used to be his official endorser.

[varaxxx]

[plemyk]

This guy is one of the founders of Hip Hop....along with Africa Bambata!!!

Check out a band called "Tackhead"

[meridiem07]

That's cool that you know about Tackhead! Wimbish, along with the rest of the guys in LC are geniuses...Check out Vernon Reid's Yohimbe Bros., too, that's some good hip-hop.

[Maciux89]

He's used one finger on right hand :| ? Strange.
