Chuck Rainey is one of my heroes - these three riffs are all CR's AFAIK, all with Donald Byrd - Street Lady, Fallin Like Dominoes, and Stepping Into Tomorrow

  • very cool, chuck is my idol along with james jamerson!! I love guys that flat out groove, what year is the jazz bass?

  • Thanks - it's a 73 with active EMG pickups

  • Street Lady -- Keep that thumb behind the neck!

    Stepping Into Tomorrow -- Keep that wrist straight!

    Plucking technique looks good.

  • LOL - thanks! Gonna try to keep that thumb back there!

  • Good sound and time. Keep it up. You are well on your way to groove meisterdom.

    That "Dominoes" bass lines ain't no joke! Rainey is one of my all time faves on bass along with Jamerson. Their tracks are such a treat.

  • Thanks! He's one hell of a bassplayer - his website shows how much all the top artists love the guy....he's one of the busiest and best session players of all time.

  • Yeah! thanks for reminding me that Stepping into tomorrow has one of the dopest riffs ever!!!

    For this track,Think twice and Makin' it,it remains one of my fave 70's records(btw there's Black&Blues by Bobbi Humphrey that has the same line up) If you don't know it,you gotta check Madlib's remix of Steppin,it's 2 times longer & has an upfront drum&bass mix(you can really hear what Harvey&Chuck playing,it's awesome!) Peace.

  • it sounds like sesame street

see all

  • it is so hard for me to not hit the snare beat with my thumb.i am preprogrammed from acousic gitar.

  • Chuck Rainey = Bass god

  • sweet, very sweet thanks

  • @ProLit no it doesnt. In Rainey style playing you play a little behind the beat.

  • Your good. Keep it up. And stay away from all that "slap bass crap ".

  • can you tab this out for me?

  • yeah when I get a bass of my own (jammin on a friend's for now) Its going to be semi smal, but thats until i can actually groove a little more.
