Jamiroquai - Canned Heat (Bass Cover)

http://www.tonydickinson.net

Awww yeah. Funky as hell song. Maybe modern disco a bit, but still one of my favorite songs to jam to.

So this is the Synth Bass played on Bass Guitar. Yes, you heard be right, SYNTH Bass. Most of the songs off of the Synkronized album were played on Synth Bass because Jamiroquai's long time bassist Stuart Zender had left in the middle of the recording. A couple songs were played by next in line bass player, Nick Fyffe. But don't get me wrong, great job at making it sound real.

Tabbed for 6-string bass, which was going to be what I was originally going to play on, but the big, beefy 6-string neck isn't ideal for this funky action.

I would have just jammed the hell out and not played many of the notes that were in the original tune, but the Synth Bass fills up so much low end that it would have clashed too much. At least I beefed up the bridge a bit.

This song is probably the funnest song to jam out too, ever. But, I need to hold myself back because of the potential goofier faces I might make. And, I got my wisdom teeth removed recently. I'm not in the most photogenic state right now, so I just went ahead and cutoff my head again.

And yes, this is THE song from Napoleon Dynamite. And it is also the Youtube debut for the Bass Guitar which I've been using the longest, the Yamaha RBX-775.
