Your play alongs helped me to understand Pino on another level. Thank you so much. Your tone is so sweet. Heard you on the few tracks of Oakland. Very cool. Love your Dilla jams too. All the best, Jaime
i read in BassPlayer that he used DGCF and C#F#BE tunings with his vintage p bass on neo soul recordings, so i assumed he tuned down another half step for this tune ;)
Which is true on some of his recordings with Jose James. For instance, on the album “No Beginning, No End”, Pino clearly tunes down a step on “It’s All Over Your Body” yet is in standard tuning on “Trouble”. It’s all about mood, feel and groove.....the man is a bass player’s bass player. Great cover BTW.👍🏻
Awesome Greg! Fantastic! You're so bloody great at pulling the Pino thing. Special request, why don't you do all the best of Pino stuff and stick it on your youtube channel. Think you're one of the very few who can pull this off, we can all learn from.
Hey Greg. Absolutely killing this bassline. I have a question about down tuning- Finding it hard to stay in tune in such a low register.. any tips? other than full set up with thicker gauge strings etc?
For those videos it's faster to write it down and read it but if i had to play it live w/a band i'd learn it by heart (actually i'd do my own thing and keep the licks i like the most ;) learning things by heart aint that hard actually, it's just focus and work...A comedian doesnt read his lines while performing, i feel it should go the same way with a musician...
Pino is awesome and so are you! About the C/F/Bb/Eb tuning: What makes you so sure he didn't just play it on an 5 string? I've seen photo's of Pino with a Stingray 5 somewhere on the internet.
Yeah definitely (up a semitone though ;) but there's at least one thing you won't be able to play (some fill in the upper register with low C ringing at the same time. Anthony Jackson totally killed it on Chaka Khan's Naughty with that same tuning 35 years ago (this dope lp also features Willie Weeks and a 21 years old Marcus Miller on bass :) peace

Your tone is so smooth and enveloping.
It just draws you in and flows like liquid!

Great playing man. Any chance of a chart?

thanks! no special tips other than heavy gauge and light right hand plucking (maybe it has sthg to do with the quality of the instrument too)
@@GregF71 thanks! x
Nice man, is that note for note Pino's transcription? If so how do you remember all of it? I have trouble remembering 16 bars man...
100s and 100s of focused listenings i guess
Do you transcribe? Or is it all by ear?

I think he just made it work with his 4 string...
strange tuning! can you get away with just using a 5 string and go up a tone?
