Barney Miller (bass)

Extended theme song from the TV show. One of the first things I heard that made me want to pick up a bass. Is this some CD version? Ion't know, but the show version doesn't come CLOSE.

Try learning "I was made to love her" by Stevie Wonder (J Jamerson on bass) and "YYZ" by Rush (Geddy Lee on bass). Two necessary tunes all bass players need to know.

@RangRing68 "Made to Love Her," I already have. "YYZ" I'd have to listen to though, never heard it.

[RangRing68]

Dont pick with your thumb.

[mayniemayne]

@RangRing68 I don't anymore. That video's almost 2 years old...worked some on right-hand technique since then. There are newer videos in which I strum a bit more traditionally.

You need to take lessons. Your mechanics are wrong, there is a timeing issue and I don't like the hat.

[mayniemayne]

@globack

Sure, the mechanics are wrong. Things change/improve in a year (since the video's over a year old). Timing, what can I say, cheap webcam. Don't think the hat matters one way or another.

Thanks.

Nice Mock brother!

@techofsound  What do you mean?

[techofsound]

@RangRing68 I find that rules and art don't mix so well.

dude this same song made me fall in love with the bass as well to the point my buddys band back in high school would stop playing a song whenever i yelled barney miller and bust out with it

[romanowskistudios]

Man, thought I was an O.K. bassist but your stuff is pretty good. I don't see what your saying about your mechanics, I imagine you'd think mine are almost non-existant. Ah well, just a songwriter that's all I am. However, you have talent. Thanks.
