Talk Talk - It's My Life (Bassline)

Basslinie der Bridge und des Refrains von "It's My Life" von Talk Talk.
Paul Webb verkörpert für mich den idealen Pop-Bassisten. Er verbindet einfache Dreiklang Strukturen mit ausgefeilten melodischen Linien und abwechslungsreicher Rhythmik, spielt sich dabei aber nie in den Vordergrund, sondern dient immer dem Song.

Bassline of bridge and chorus of "It's my Life" by Talk Talk. Paul Webb is one of my favourite bass players. I love him for his melodic and creative bass playing, always serving the song and the band.

Great video. I am learning this one at the moment and have been struggling with the bridge. Your video has really helped.

By the way, is that an ESP 400 Series Jazz bass your playing? If so, then its super rare and a superb bass. It looks as though you also has the even more rare Fender style headstock. I have a couple clips of me playing mine of You Tube.

Keep up the great playing.

Thx for the comment!

Yes, it's really a superb bass but I didn't know that it's rare, so thank you for telling me, makes me appreciate it even more :)

[rittersoftlan]

....and yes, it's a 400 Series btw.

I think the fifth note you play on the slowed down bit is wrong... I'm not trying to be clever, just a freindly observation.

[rittersoftlan]

No, you're right about the verse-part in general. Its not only the in the slowed down version. I've never focused on the verse-part, just concentrated on Bridge and Chorus, so I listened to it again and yes, there he plays a interesting variation, too. Maybe I do a new version which will include the verse. Thanks anyway. There's always something new to discover :)

Good job. This ia a bassline that sounds like it would'nt be too hard to learn, but it is not easy.

[operabuff23]

Excellent playing!! Really makes one appreciate this incredible Hollis composition even more.

Great bassline! Once of the best ever. Thank for showing us .

[MrSKINFLICK]

the stupid about that is, that "jazz" "musicians" always say that pop /r&r/ r&b ain´t worth anything. they should try to play it themselves. the arrogance of jazz will accompany us at least for another 50 years, with rap and all that (C)RAP!!!
