Lately came across Long Train running (Doobie Brothers) and It's a long way there (Little River Band), which share the same baseline, just with another accentuation?
Hi Dan, would you kindly do a lesson on Lee Sklars bassline Inside out, when he played for Phil Collins, I love your teaching style, thanks Dan 🙏👌🏽🏴
Hey Dan, great video. I am quite a beginner, and still learning and figuring out things. Your videos surely are helping me big time. In the second example, for the left my trouble song, when you play it in G, what is it exactly, G major or G minor? As you play both, a maj 3rd and a min 3rd.. and if we use, both maj and min notes, let's say if we improvise and play min and maj 7th in a bass line, what does the nature of key, it remains to be?would we still call it a maj or min? And when do we use such things, or what are the boundaries of such improvisations?
Great question. It’s major but that’s just a little notes lick/trick that ‘works’. It was used in Soul bass playing a lot back in the day and Dart is very influenced by that. They’re passing tones which don’t really affect what key you’re in - they’re just used as an embellishment.
@@OnlineBassCourses Thank you so much Dan. Really grateful if you, for taking the time to reply. Please never ever stop this awesome work. Peace brother
Can I ask you a question? There is so much music already made. How do I know if I made something original? Does it matter when basslines in songs sound very similar? Or will you get copyrighted??
I suppose you can never fully know! I don’t think it’s a problem unless you really are copying a famous line and releasing it commercially. Even then, if the music and lyrics are different then it’s probably nothing to worry about.

Love that bass line! I’ll try and get it into a lesson sometime.
In an interview, Pino described that line as coming from Strasinsky
I remember that interview.
Be really cool to see tabs for what you're playing so we can play along.

Thanks for the lesson. Do you have your bass running through your computer. To get that upfront bass sound.?
Yes. I have a couple of videos somewhere on my exact signal chain.
@@OnlineBassCourses do you remember the title of the video?

@@OnlineBassCourses Thank you so much for your time to answer the comment! I appreciate it :)
Very interesting Video. What kind of Bass did you play? It sounds superb.
It was originally a Ibanez 1982 Roadster, that I believe he modified a bit…Dan proves that you don’t need a expensive bass to sound great.
Yes, 1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups. Many thanks!
Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out" is even closer to Billie Jean but came before it...
Excellent stuff
