And She Was - Talking Heads - Bass Cover

Bass cover of "And She Was" by The Talking Heads from their album "Little Creatures".

I've always liked the bass, drums and cow bell thing going on in the chorus of this song.

Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1974 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison. Auxiliary musicians also regularly made appearances in concert and on the group's albums.

The New Wave musical style of Talking Heads combined elements of punk rock, avant-garde, pop, funk, world music and art rock. Frontman and songwriter David Byrne contributed whimsical, esoteric lyrics to the band's songs, and emphasized their showmanship through various multimedia projects and performances. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Talking Heads as being "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits."

In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the Channel 4 100 Greatest Albums poll listed one album (Fear of Music) at number seventy-six. In a 2011 update of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", the band was ranked 100. (Wikipedia, April 2011)

Nice job! What's the secret to using playing with a pick without the horrible pick sound?

@zeppelinrock

Thanks for listening. I'm not sure that I have a secret for using a pick. It feels way more comfortable to me and I've always liked the "crisp" / "punchy" sound that I can get using a pick. I do notice that I use my palm / heel of my hand a lot to dampen the strings and achieve the appropriate "sound texture" that I'm looking for. Otherwise I'm really not aware of doing anything out of the ordinary. Thanks again for checking out the channel - Ron
