This is a short tribute to the late David Dynamite Vega, the original guitarist for Larry Graham and Graham Central Station. If there was anyone who could make their guitar scream with the wah-wah, it was David. Check out some of GCS' albums and you'll see what I mean.

piccolo bass I had fun playing this brief clip and thanks for all of the kind words and questions. Whatever you do, please have fun playing. It doesn't matter whether you play like a world class musician or not, it's really how hard you try to do your best and again, have fun. Life is short so why not enjoy it?

For those that need to hear Glide's bass line without other instruments. The last time I saw the bassist and guitarist for Pleaure, they were actually perfoming with Jeff Lorber in Wash, DC at an outdoor concert at Freedom Plaza in the early-mid 90's and they still delivered the funk as Jeff cut them loose to play a few bars of Glide.

This is for those that need to hear the jam without a drum or other instrument, or for beginner to "slap and pop" for bass. Back in the day this was called "thump and pluck" which I think is more appropriate. The name of the selection is "The Jam" by none other than Mr. Larry Graham.
