Josie - Steely Dan Bass Playalong

I have been trying to figure this one out for a while, this might be as good as it gets. Mistakes were made, feel free to critique, I am thick-skinned.

I love jazz basses especially the older ones. I also like the Jaguar bass.

Are you using flatwounds for this song?

I think it sounds fine. These songs don't need perfect notes, they just need really good rhythm because of the jazzy feel they have. I love Steely Dan basslines.

@jugglerjoe I have not signed in for a while.. but YES... I used flat wound strings... I have completely lost my desire for "bright" strings... flats give it groove!

@illninja137 Thanks!! I used to have five different basses, and for the most part always reach for the Jazz.

On "girls say when," the bass notes are C, G, F. Try it out!

Very nice bass! Do it again (no pun intended) but consider going direct thru the sound card, or turn up the bass. You cant tell on some parts whether it's you or the recording. I can tell from knowing how to play the song note for note that a few errors were made, but it is pretty good overall.

Nice job!

Thanks... took me a while to realize that Fender Jazz was all I ever needed.
