Larry Graham

Hi,

Larry Graham

So did you liked the last featured video? I hope so. I really enjoy Larry Graham and that's why I'm making a proper post about him. He was born in 1946 and became a legend in the world of bass. Why? Simple, inventor of the slap and pop technique that we all already saw in the previous posts that I did. We can see this technique in Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke and Flea. I'm just enumerating the ones I wrote about but you can find very easily bassists that master the slap and pop technique.

And this all begun with a negligent act from one member of his bad. One day, they had no drummer in the studio and Larry came out with this awesome technique trying to make a drum sound out of the bass... He reinvented all the funk music until it became what we know today. And for that we are very pleased and owe this guy all the appraise we can muster.

Stay with this awesome lesson from Larry Graham.

Stay tuned,
Eremita.

Anthony Jackson

Hi,

This time one of my favorite bassists. One more time we see an awesome bassist starting his carrer in a completely different instrument than bass. Anthony Jackson started in piano, then guitar and ended in bass guitar. In the end he made the obvious choice, don't you think?

Anthony had the great James Jamerson as influence. This is one of the few times that we do not see the name "Pastorius" next to "influence". For me Anthony is one of Jaco's influences and not the other way around. Anthony won his space in the bass world in the Jazz, Fusion and Funk styles. Jackson is well know for is six string bass and the riffs and the powerful walking bass lines that he makes with it. Just listen to his great discography and find it for yourself. Check his Facebook website to know more about this talented bassist.

In the meantime stay with this great video. He's amazing and with this other musicians...

Stay tuned,
Eremita.
