Yeah i just turned 55 yesterday. At least my wife loves the way i look. Of course i hope y'all know im kidding.. And i just let the cat out of the bag that im a hillbilly too. We need more hillbilly behs'ists.
Haha, reminds me of a time just over 40 years ago - I had majored in jazz performance on bass (which at that time meant playing like Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorius), but really wanted to be a studio musician. I then was recommended to Carol Kaye by one of my professors, and she took me on as a student and mentored me for a few months. At our first sitting, she said "Let's hear your style - play something"... Having had some good chops training by that point, I showed off a bit. She said "oh, that's pretty good - and no one will ever pay you to do that! I'm going to show you how to appreciate half and whole notes again." I learned more in those 4 months than I had in my years of education and playing that came before it.
Yeah. The beauty was, is and always will be in simplicity, i.e. in take the complex and trim it down to simple ideas that can be understood by wider audience. It's valid in every form of arts, sports and in many other aspects of life. Don't get me wrong - being able to play complex stuff has it's own value but you'll very seldom get very far with it. Even so-called sophisticated listeners eventually get tired of all that sophistication and will end up preferring AC/DC over ELP.
@@browndog4299 Why being so gross about her ? She did nothing wrong. Instead of spitting on her you should listen to her band and give yourself a real opinion.
I used to play guitar in a metal band and we auditioned 4 bassist at one point, NONE of which had their own bass amp. You wanna stand out? Buy a bass amp. One dude didn’t own a bass anymore and had to borrow mine, and another just didn’t feel like bringing his bass to the audition cause he wanted to ride his motorcycle.
Rock auditions. I wrote an ad “ must have phone car chops rig clue” and you’d( not) be surprised at how many would show up without one or more of the job requirements
@@geraldfriend256 In my experience vocalists are the worst for this. It seems like the majority of them don't own even a decent microphone. How on earth are you going to be the singer in my band if you don't have anything to sing through...
Last audition I did, I knew the tunes better than their drummer Had to lend the singer my microphone I bought to do BVs They had been in hiatus for 6 months, and were a little under prepared.
So I am a guitar player who also plays bass. I get asked to play bass often because 90% of the time I just keep it simple and play root notes. While I know it's boring I focus on having the best tone that I can have and I lock in with the drummer, that's why I get offers. Again, I am a guitar player but being a "Bass-ic Bitch" keeps me in having options. 😎👍✨
@@khalez1471 You absolutely missed the point. Bands don't want showboat bass players, they want a bass to lock in with the drums and not to outshine the singers, guitars, and keys. So no. For every bass player who I played with who thought they were Les Claypool, Flea, or Bootsy Collins, they definitely were not. In fact me playing rhythm guitar kept better time then they did. The vast majority of songs do not call for tricky playing either. There's a great saying about a really good bass player is hardly noticed but it's DEFINITELY NOTICEABLE if you don't have a good bass player.
@@gringogreen4719 there is no such a thing called "keep it simple", it's about serving the song. Players like jeff berlin for exemple serve the song but in the same time he's insane. I am talkin' about being in a good band of course with good musicianship.
@@khalez1471 Funny on how you double down on being an ass. I'm aware of who is who in the bass playing world but yeah, not a fan of Jeff Berlin. Not everyone likes the same stuff. Go bug someone else.
Thank goodness; in my experience most guitar players get on bass, get bored and start overplaying. Or other nuances of the guitar start coming in. I can almost always tell when listening to bands. YOUR JOB IS THE GROOVE!!! Just remember the role and play what your bass dude would do. Tying the rhythm to the chord structure so everyone knows what song you're playing while the guitar player is doing that guitar thing. The next step is listen to a lot of bass lines and try them. You can leave the roots. Oh, the other important thing; know the bass HOOKS! If there's a particular thing that stands out on a hit, there's a reason it's a hit. Play that, at the very least.
Danny, you are a bassist after my own heart. Keep doing what you doing. This video is filled with great advice. Danny is definitely world's sexiest bass player.

Yeah i just turned 55 yesterday. At least my wife loves the way i look. Of course i hope y'all know im kidding..
And i just let the cat out of the bag that im a hillbilly too.
We need more hillbilly behs'ists.
Every great band has a standout bassist and an excellent drummer. A banging rhythm section is essential.
True that. But it doesn't hurt if you look like Victoria lol.
Agreed
me who simps for the bassist and the drummer of måneskin 🙂
That 3rd BEHS player at the end is really H-O-T! The shoes really bring out his eyes.
danny when will you oil up
He should
@@Nawakaht_jj77 agreed
OIL UP!!!
@@scottdaugherty8065 He needs too
If you play like THAT guy, you'll be standing out - standing out in the hallway while they hire another bassist who can play in the pocket.

One of the ppl I think is best bassist is Les Claypool from Primus.
The band’ll be queuing up to kick me teeth in! Dude you are hilarious
And not wrong!
That last bass player gets my blood going... 💋 😘 😂
Day one of asking for Danny Sapko bass tone

Yeah 😝
Her first band was called STD, first album Gonorrhoea, single from that album…drip, drip, drip. Musical brilliance at its best.

They had been in hiatus for 6 months, and were a little under prepared.
Where was the audition took place tho?? Can't you just let the auditionees use the amps from the music studio you were using back then?
Maybe they didn’t want to fork out the $10 extra for the amp hire.

It's just a common misdirection joke.

Either asking him to oil up or for a bass tone, the two sides of a man.
"Queing up to be kicking me teeeeth in" Priceless.
I am a 50 year old male bass player and I’ve tried doing the Victoria image thing on stage but no one seems to appreciate it.
The thing that stands out the most about me is my belly. You think that helps? XD

Mentioning sexy bass players and not mentioning Alejandra Villareal is a major epic fail.
The fact that she is not a supermodel is one of the great mysteries of the universe!
I'm afraid Danny took her spot!
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!! And one of the best bass players on the planet besides.
Not Having Ale In There Is A Crime !!!
She Crushes All Bass Lines n Super Models
