John Mayer - Good love is on the way - bassline

[jeremymanao]

what kinda bass do u hve right there? its like the one that marcus miller's has

[ato71]

@jeremymanao, nope, it's a an American Reissue '75

[jeremymanao]

@ato71 oh. because i see the neck cover on your bass.. and then you took it out when you play wdytiw

[satchelpooch01]

Nice work as usual, and your lighting is superior to most other uploaders, and as good as another great bass uploader, NOONE3NOON - NOONE3NOON#p/u/12/urJP_u34Aho.

[giorgiocesaroni]

Oh my god! Pensavo non ci fossero più bassisti seri in italia! GRANDE

[ato71]

@giorgiocesaroni, se intendi dire che non rido quando suono ti do ragione!

[giorgiocesaroni]

@ato71 Hai capito male, complimenti ancora :)

[ato71]

@giorgiocesaroni, scherzavo! E' che il tuo giudizio mi sembrava un po' esagerato!

[terzolilu]

@ato71 sei grande!

[jackloupin]

Good love's on your way! well done man!

[camacho115]

JUST PERFECT!

[JulianHuxtable]

Wanna be my bassist?

Cool see you at practice.

[ato71]

@JulianHuxtable, uhm from Italy to USA... think there could be some problems :-)

[JulianHuxtable]

@ato71 ah,

There are no good bassist where I live!

[PeteWojMusic]

@ato71 Nevermind Huxtable... I'll fly you to the States for some session work in my studio.

[JonesAlter]

good job !!!

[yamahohas]

If you ever do a tab for this song, please PM! Wonderful playing, you got the feel of the song spot on

[Hellohoney6879]

that was sick!

[afiqfalif]

I didnt knew Iron Man plays bass.. Hmmmm

[Hatejews1]

Re 75 JB ?

[Sjorsieboy93]

very, very good!

[dani13peke]

perfect :D! crack

[Vassilious]

Got it, you're Pino's teacher! :D:D Once again brilliant. Perhaps you should take a look at Assassin, it's rather interesting.

[ato71]

@Vassilious: you're giving me too much credit! You mean Gary Numan's?

[Vassilious]

@ato71 I know. :D:D No, actually I meant John Mayer's song. Because of, you know, Pino's playing the bass.

[FreaquedeMusique]

@ato71 no john mayer's assassin!

[Pepernotenking]

don't listen to the stupid reactions.

youre just very good and no one can say that youre not good without thinking by himself ''shit i'm don't say the true.

please keep playing!

[ato71]

@Pepernotenking: well, it's normal when not everybody likes you!

[tylersburns]

this guy looks like downing jr

[BlackMozes]

excellent.. really well done :D

[finn64]

you really do take yourself seriously, you ARE a fucking dick.

[ewoe21]

Great playing.

Thanks!

[funkbassboom]

such an inspiration you are sir!

[Osk3ii]

man thanks heaps. i can learn a lot of stuff from this :D

[bibaguebo]

You´ve made a greaaaaat job !!!! And, what a lovely bass, by the way...

[ianidinuse]

Haha! Love that facial expression 2:17! *Woah, this is something new!* HAHAHA.

[ato71]

@ianidinuse: I don't remember what I was thinking in that moment. Probably it could be something like "Steve (Jordan): you can do this snare fill as strange as you want but you won't fool me and I'll start in time the same!"

[ianidinuse]

Hello sir! I know you're very busy and stuff, I would really appreciate it if you could tab 0:22 to 0:32 for me. Please! That's really all I need! Thank you!

[stevejohnsen]

great job dude!

[DrivebyKombi]

That a Marcus Miller Jazz? Cant see :)

[ato71]

@DrivebyKombi: no, it's an American Vintage Reissue 75

[BradleyTn20]

Bravo!!!! Excellent! Tony Stark Meets Pino Palladino! (No Disrespect)

[yorumiej]

1:12... DROOL*

[bassetrox]

Good stuff. Have you got tab or sheet music for this one please?

[jingwah]

how can 6 people dislike this video?..they must be deaf..

[ato71]

@jingwah, probably one can't be liked by everyone

[txlawdawg]

Notes are there but not sure the groove is. Sounds like you favor being ahead of things just a bit rather than in the pocket. Nice job!

[ato71]

@txlawdawg, you're right: I think there are some parts of the song I could have played better. Probably I didn't practice the song enough: there's been a time I was eager to upload a lot of videos, now I'm more reflexive! Anyway, it's a good way to notice and tryin' to correct weaknesses and mistakes (I mean feel and technique more than notes).

[gmeredith74]

i ddnt know Tony Stark could play bass! Then again he is Ironman! lol, Good playin man!

[gmeredith74]

omg its Tony Stark!!!

[honkiemarge]

Whats that great big whopping thing in the middle?

[justse2006]

nice work

[DerVedel]

That's impressive - you have a good ear for listerning those lines. He really plays the same, but it always seem to be very melodic and fitting. It's totally different from his lines on the live version from Where the light is.

[DerVedel]

@DerVedel Meant: "he RARELY plays the same"

[jrodius]

not too bad ;)

[andrefcs]

So good!!

[Droptoffee]

Awesome cover! Very very very nice.

I also have a video of this song when I played it with my band, would you mind checking it out?

Greetings from Holland!

Tom

[NeonBlack7]

awesome job man.

[culpritto]

this dude is SICK!!!!!!11111

[colettdm]

Awesome job---best bass cover I've seen on this song.

[MrManiac2591]

did you find a tab or do this by ear? i want to cover this song soo bad!

[ato71]

@MrManiac2591

Yes, i did it by ear.

[sebajo82]

nice tone of that jazz bass....great play.

[bibwizard]

Awesome!

[seniorgomez666]

best bass cover of this song on youtube!

[ato71]

Thanks seniorgomez, you're too kind. I'm quite satisfied about it but I think I could have played it better.

[seniorgomez666]

no problem! i wish you had the time to do more of the trio stuff!

[Robfalcon501]

robert downey junior

[daitarnxxx]

Bellissimo tocco...e bellissimo jazz bass!

Complimenti.

[ato71]

Grazie, anche da parte del basso: è un semplice RE75. Nei videini su youtube non rende ma "live" suona veramente bene!

[danielson2891]

you look like tony stark!!

[seventhCrucifix]

Lmao!

[rafaarias]

@danielson2891 hahahaha i thought so too!!

[AlexanderHasford]

@danielson2891 you read my mind XD

[bassmanbig]

Tight work bro. real smooth.

[DrivebyKombi]

bloody solid, nice work!!!

[RowJimmyRo]

Nice guitar! I think that guard would frive me nuts though!

[BlitzkriegBopp]

I got the Marcus Miller Signature, and now I cant live without the cover :D

Oh, and dont call it a guitar.. Its a BASSguitar! Thats a whole different something! ;)

[ato71]

Afraid to disappoint you, but I had to remove it: it stands right in the place where my hand falls naturally and the feel of the strings suits my fingers.....

[fi5ke]

nice and steady...like it ;)

[Sneeuwzwart]

very steady, it helped me a lot in figuring this out on the bass. thanks man!

[ironrob85]

great.....

[lazzio1900]

grandissimo, davvero.

[ShortStack2091]

nice.

[ericld11]

You look at peace. Well done. Great performance. Thanks for posting.

[qba5775]

fantastic action, true feeling, outstanding job

[Febiobass91]

great bass !!!

[elenibean]

Hey this was awesome! Playing this with an ensemble at school and I really couldn't pick apart the bass line that great but this helped! thanks for posting :)

[Vapor40]

Please do a bass only version so I can add my guitar to it. You Rock

[seniorgomez666]

very very badass sir!! i'd love to see you do all the jmt you can!

[danielinsporto]

robert downey jr. on bass.

and absolutely kicking ass. definitely professional quality. great job.

[TonyDanza1]

Well done!!! You should try Assassin by John Mayer

[rycoka]

Yeah, that would be awesome.

[jonnymah]

Nice job dude!! The lick at 2:45 is such classic Pino. I thought I was the only one who lost it when I heard this track, so it's nice to know I'm not alone. Your groove is solid.

[mrdak]

Smooth, great technique... Beautifully done in every way. You know how to go into that special place my friend..... Thanks much.

[ato71]

Thank YOU for the apreciation!

Actually the more I see my videos the less I like how I played most of them (this one included)! I think the lacks in technique are filled by the passion and heart I put into playing.

[olliejamesdrums]

Wow, you are really very good! Incredible cover, great work! : )

[motherbrain2000]

thanks for putting this up. it's nice to see what's actually going on in this bass line. well played.

[ckfender12]

Fantastic job. And that is a very nice looking bass you have.

[aaronjordan010388]

but your great man pino is one of my influeces too.. thats what we called playing with heart

[aaronjordan010388]

eddie guerrero on the BASS LOL

[keenkwest2003]

Yeah, you rock that. You don't show it on the surface, but dude you eyes smile when you're playing... f***in awesome man...

[ato71]

Thanks my friend.

This is the best comment I've ever received: you really got it!

[vinniebourne]

you're so good brother! keep it up!

[raulmontana13]

1. You gave me goosebumps.

2. You played just like Pino in my opinion.

3. NICE bass.

4. Thanks for the inspiration, this is one of my favorite songs to subtract all instruments and just listen to the bass and you NAILED IT!

Great playing man! And let me ask you this... Are Robby Downy Jr.'s brother? ahahahahah

Peace be with you!

[ato71]

Thanks Raul, I'm happy you apreciate it! I subscribe everything you wrote about music in your other comments!

[CommBreakDown]

dude are you making any success with ur talent? just wondering as a fellow bassist

[ato71]

Mmh, let me think.... I'd say not at all ; )

I'm 100% amateur and only play for personal satisfaction.

[CommBreakDown]

i learned this song a few days ago and the fills fingering i had to figure out..but i got it all down in the end...its a groovin song...i just wanted to say you should be satisfied with how u play. I just feel bad b/c my dreams are becoming a harsh reality of never making a living off it...even like as a session musician

[ato71]

Thanks, my friend: yes, I'm quite satisfied with how I play but that doesn't prevent me from trying on and on to improve!

[LathelSiRedrum]

holy crap.

didn't think anyone could pull off the fill at 2:43

Greatness. Re-spect

[ato71]

Thanks my friend!

About the fill at 2:43, I think it outstands (I mean in the original line) because it's incredibly beautiful but not particularly hard to play... Those kind of things are harder to be created: that's why I love Pino Palladino!

[raulmontana13]

I thought the exact SAME thing and everytime I hear that fill with friends that appreciate real music for those 4, 5 seconds of bliss we reach nirvana. After the 5 seconds we look at each other smile. God i love music.

[jingwah]

damn im not a bassplayer but damn GOD DAMN man your freaken good

[rjny23jh]

I got chills.

[raulmontana13]

Everytime I hear the scale...chills and eyes water a little ;)

[EddieJVale]

what kind of amp do you use an whats your set up for it?

[ato71]

Well, at home I use an old - 1988 - Trace Elliot Combo with GP7 150W head.

The set up - the same for all my basses - is almost flat. Live is another story...

[SOUNDBOYMIKE]

so whats your live rig?? dude your so freaken good good job bro

[ato71]

The line is Bass - Tech21 Sansamp - DBX 160A Compressor - Mark Bass Little Mark 2 Head (500W at 4 ohm) - Mark Bass 4x10 cabinet (800W). The Sansamp works as a Preamp, the MB head through the effects return works only as a power amp for the cabinet which I use as my personal stage monitor. The sound to the mixer is sent via the DBX DI Line Out.

[bke008]

brilliant.  inspiring.

[loulouloise]

sublime

[Wol1verine]

Beautiful. Could you please do a vid of "Who did you think I was." I love the bass in that song and it would be awesome to see how it's played. Thanks for your great vids.

[ssit72]

Good job man....

[vermonjohn]

what kind of jazz bass are you using in this video mate?

[ato71]

It's an American Vintage Fender Jazz Reissue '75.

[JoeLovetteMusic]

Your playing is killer! Solid as all hell!

Good job man, keep up the fantastic playing!

[DaveyBoy22211]

that was spot on perfect. god damn..

[20AceofBass11]

With how much you look like Robert Downey Jr., Im surprised I didnt see an Ironman suit back there.

Awesome video!

[ChigerG]

damn man, that was so solid. awesome, inspiring

[ekagilberto]

wao...Im so impressed when watching this !

two thumbs up for you !

best regard from

Me

[SohoBop182]

wow that's great honestly. i wish i find a groovy bassist like you when i get a trio started which will be soon. dude u inspired me and i don't even play bass

[ato71]

Thanks mate for your apreciation!

I'm only a humble Pino Palladino fan, trying to express how much I admire him

[Carlosbassman9886]

man i dont now much about pino palladinos work could you suggest me some records than he reccorded, sorry of the bad english

[blackperal]

I meet musicians every day (I work at a music/guitar store) and I've grown jaded enough that nowadays I rarely meet people who can inspire my admiration and envy.

You're definitely worthy of both. Keep putting stuff up man, I enjoy listening.

[ato71]

Thanks a lot, my friend, you made me really happy (and willing to study and improve more and more to deserve what you told me). 

Alessio

[eduardobadra]

IT'S TONY STARK! lol

[DarthGism69]

I didn't know that Robert Downey Jr. played bass.

[elevate4eva]

nothing better besides pino

[perebass69]

very good work, very nice style...and nice bass too!! greetings from Spain

[sinsofourfathers]

Do you have a tab of this song ?

i can't find all the licks, if i can say it like that :)

You're a fantastic bassist, i've learnt alot from you

[ato71]

Thanks my friend: I'm honored!

Unfortunately I play by ear and I rarely write the stuff I play....

[elbarax]

awesome....I'm learning a lot from your vids!.

[ato71]

Thanks my friend: it's good to hear that!

[Vulturer]

The bass line moves the song, that's how its supposed to be! Great Job on this!

[culpritto]

[Splodgo]

[ato71]

Thanks adez23 for your apreciation.

[jinrikisha]

yeah!

[anonymousphilp]

Yeah awesome job. And that is a really smooth bass. I was also wondering if you had the tabs down? Thanks!

[ato71]

Thanks Phil&Steve,

I'm sorry but I play by ear and I hardly read and write music so I can't help you.

[anonymousphilp]

Darn. Well I guess I just have to read your fingers. Thanks anyways! Awesome job.

[stevewicky]

GREAT JOB!!

[ato71]

Steve, please see the reply above.

Finally man, someone who can do it right. Good work. I'm working on Bold as Love and Who Do You Think I Was. If You could do one of those two I would appreciate it.

[Heinpepka]

that was great! hope that pino paladino rubs off on you... just as much as i hope jm'll rub off on me ..haha
