Herbie Hancock - Just around the corner - bass playalong

[hoffus]

Fantastic work, and great choice of tunes my man! . Always one of my fave Herbie tunes and albums (Mr Hands). Love the good ol' early 80's electronic fusion.

[policeinpink]

anybody have sheet music / tab for this bass part? soo funky :P

[aamhjathotmaildotcom]

I can't believe this isn't getting enough traffic. 

[covaraza]

Great tune! It's a P-Bass std or same reissue?

[Reddigitalmusic]

Yeahhh

[morrismx]

poor.....

[amordemadre]

keep up the good work!

[groovei]

Great playin on the best bass ever made.....no other bass has a fundamental like the P. Beautiful.

[Blindqvist1]

Den där va ju skön :)

[steffenbrix]

Yo check our version with Trio Luftballon ;)

[01andy]

Hi, nice playing, great preci sound, is yours a 1968 precision?

[bassowman]

Tnx! 1966-er.

[MightySaxKid]

Did you use flatwounds on this?

[bassowman]

Roundwwounds, Ernie Ball as far as I remember.

[stevechase3313]

Great slappin' big brother! Im always amazed by the downward thumb technique. I slap w/ the upward thumb technique. It seems a lot easier.

[coucou7863]

yes i like this piece of groove :: good sound

[breadstick94]

gosh i wish i could slap better

[uhohoverflow]

Your sound is almost as on the record. Nice!

[mbrellin]

Sorry, which effects have you used for playing this song? Thanks!

[bassowman]

No specific effects, however, playing through my Korg PX4D with a tad chorus in the sound setting.

[crossfire1]

This was mad solid. Props!

[jfunch]

Great playing. Are you using double thumbing on this riff?

[bassowman]

Thanks! No, it's knuckle slapping or whatever you should call it. I have a tutorial showing it.

[ColdSprunk]

Hey great playing what kind of strings are you using?

[bassowman]

Thanks! I use Ernie Ball Super Slinky custom gauge roundwound, 45-100

[tbonemagnum]

THE SONG IS FROM THE MR. HANDS ALBUM.

[bassmickeyd]

Sorry I figured that out after I posted. I've owned a 66-P-bass 1872xx for 37-years but it doesn't look that anymore. Though the one I sold did, it was flawless. The 70's were hard on some basses. Good playing and videos

Ron

[bassowman]

No problem:-) This one lived through the 70's fairly unharmed.

[bassmickeyd]

Hi Did that bass originally come from Canada? I sold one to a fellow in England back in 1999/2000, was it you?

Thanks

Ron

[bassowman]

No, not me. I'm from Sweden. However, a great bass.

[Feanic]

nice play! just heard this song at the local electronic store!

[Yagarn]

Herbie killed me with this one! Outstanding!

[RomainChapus]

Really, I dont know much about bass playing. I learned by myself. I can visualy transcribe what you play but I m not groovy. And your videos so far already helped me :)

[xiz90]

Love Herbie :D

[RomainChapus]

great!

Will you post more lessons?

[bassowman]

Tnx! Yes, I just have find something you may not already know:-D

[mezzofortemusik]

hi there,

its a very nice and, maybe for me, a possible riff to play.

do you know the awakening from the reddings?

that would be great, if you could explain it in a bass video.

alltime the best from germany, and i hope to see more of those funky grooves!?!

bye

[bassowman]

Tnx! I will check out Awakenings. Haven't heard it before so, no promises:-D

[Mistergroover]

Excellent bass line! Great tone and very good technique!
