You're totally playing it by ear. Especially during the Steve Lukather guitar solo, you're missing a few important "key" notes there. Totally off. Sorry, but no...
I don't see any fretboard activity whatsoever!! Wha's up with that??? Left hand fell asleep? Those sliding high notes are probably one of the best bass lines in the song! And you decide to completely ignore them... Nice work! : (
That was really great man. Randy Newman is brilliant and all of the best have played with him in the studio. Most people probably don't know that Toto did all of the music for this song; Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, David Hungate (Bass), Steve Porcaro, Bobby Kimball and David Paich. Listen to Short People and you'll hear Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles.
Just to let everyone know that my band has a 'YouTube' page now, if you click on my profile page - then click on the album playlist. Hear it, and then download it free if you like it !! :D Please !! :D Thanks for the great comments everyone, Paul.
Ha! That's excellent. This has always been one of my favorite songs (and actually, weirdly part of the reason I moved to L.A.), but I never really paid specific attention to the bass line before. This was great to hear. Nice job all around, too! Thanks!
Hey thanks Stefan! Really appreciate the comment, I checked out some of your Daily Monster stuff, hats off! that's incredble art! My band just recorded our debut album all in Garageband (bar track 5) - if ya get a second see what ya think, its linked on my youtube page, and free :D
Hmmm! I made the zip on a mac, could be back to the drawing board methinks haha! Alternatively if you are still interested in having a listen, we have just released it as a podcast on the music page :D
Ths guy hits every note and pitch.Hope he keeps on playing.The song is great and he did a great job playing it.Dude keep playing,never know what the future holds.I am from L.A. and face it I love L.a. from happy
nice work buddy
