Hi, I'm BennyTheBassman, a bass player from Toronto, Canada. Welcome to my channel!
I work in the Canadian music scene, and I decided to start this channel to help other bass players learn songs and improve their technique on the coolest instrument there is :)
At this point, the plan is to upload a new note-for-note bass cover, with notation and tabs, mostly every Friday.

Vels Trio - Yellow Ochre pt. 2 [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs
Crazy tune this week! This one out of the UK jazz group Vels Trio. Thanks to Patron Andrew for the crazy request.
This one is a clinic on "groove illusions". Basically there's no section of the tune where only one time signature is clearly defined - there's pretty much always some form of polyrhythm going on, and the beat is somewhat masked. Jazz folks will dig it.
I have absolutely no idea how the guys in Vels Trio felt this, but I took a stab at transcribing it as a constant tempo with just a lot of groove and time signature adjustments, as you'll see. The first section in 5 is the most challenging to feel that way - definitely a good exercise for those of you jazz heads looking to warp your brains a bit. I do like how it all comes together at the end though, and dare I say even "rocks" a bit!! That's as much as you'll ever get from me in terms of asking you to "watch till the end" ;)
Enjoy, all!

RUSH!!!!!!! LET'S GOOOOO Thank you to Patron Alex for requesting this tune. Got to try to emulate some of the purest rock and roll out there in Getty's playing. Loved every second of it. The main riff will challenge your technique but feels great to play once you get it under your fingers. And the guitar solo has some fantastic bass work underneath it too. Awesome melodic lines. Decided to brea...

Oooook. A nice and easy Michael Jackson synth bass lift from patron FCBarrett. What could possibly go wrong? *hits the chorus* ... I did my best here, friends! The chorus is not meant for human hands, but I got close enough I think to at least approximate what it should be like. Had to slow it down to 90% to get in the ballpark, so apologies for that. Also the tune is right in between A and Bb ...

A bit of a saga this week! Thank you to patron Isaac for hipping me to this really cool modern jazz/funk/soul outfit out of the UK. This one was originally recorded in Abbey Road studios, and features Pino Palladino's son, Rocco (yep - ROCCO) Palladino on bass! A bit out of my comfort zone on this one for sure and it's also 10 minutes long so please forgive a few mistakes here and there - it wa...

Some majestic folky hi-bass for your weekend! Big thanks to patron John for hipping me to this band. Their music is really cool! Just when you think they're a loose jam band they throw in some effortless time signature changes...in case you thought it wasn't all planned. Overall just a really cool original sound and extremely creative, pretty basslines. I love the way the bass weaves in and out...

This bassline is so damn funky!! I know it's a bit more rare for me to do a straight up pop song but there's a lot to this one and I thought it was worth doing. Check all the cool ghost note stuff, as well as a few pretty heavy bass fills! The Disco parts in the later choruses also get pretty challenging if you decide to incorporate the "I'm levitating" hook in there as well... :D Enjoy all! Lo...
Woody and Jeremy - Fat Boys In The Gym Of Love [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs

Some sweet 2020 funk right out of the P-funk era!! Woody from Vulfpeck and Jeremy teamed up to make this random/awesome funk pop band and they already have a few smashes. This is one! It's not Joe Dart on bass here (it's Packy Lundholm), although it could just as well be - the super fun and vibey bass is front and centre, as it should be (!!!) for this kind of track. Jeremy also wrote this when...
Avishai Cohen - Smash [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs
Переглядів 25 тис.3 роки тому
This tune!! I've been a fan of Avishai for a long time - really love his rhythmic, modern, middle-eastern take on jazz tunes and this one embodies all of that. Super funky driving acoustic bassline off the top with lots of rhythmic tricks and syncopations to make you believe you're not just in 4/4 time when 95% of the time, you are! Combine that with a sick backbeat in sections, and an electric...
Tower Of Power - Maybe It'll Rub Off [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs

Been just a bit too long since we had an entry from my favourite funk bass player of all time - may Rocco rest in peace!!! Broke out the old (rusty) left hand muting technique and tried to get it sounding proper for you all. I'm just such a damn fan of this band and Rocco's playing and did my best to replicate it here! The main line is especially hard to keep up the muting... hope it's good eno...
Cory Wong - St. Paul [BASS COVER] - With notation and tabs
Переглядів 15 тис.3 роки тому
Some funk from Cory Wong! Most of you will know him as the "no wrists" guitar player from Vulfpeck. For this tune he calls on some awesome special guests - Of course the incomparable Nate Smith on drums, and Jon Batiste and bassist Louis Cato from the Stephen Colbert house band. Really funky, solid stuff from Cato here. Kind of understated - fulfilling his role in a star-studded band, but he st...
Steely Dan - Jack Of Speed [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs
Переглядів 12 тис.3 роки тому
More Steely Dan courtesy of Patron Hugo! Thanks man. This one features a really cool bassline out of Walter Becker - only the right notes, nothing fancy, understated, and perfect for the tune. I researched it and I couldn't find anything detailing how he achieved that tone on the album, so I took my best guess with a palm-muting approach. Not my strongest technique on the bass! So it was a good...

Ooooooook, another nice and easy one for my 2nd week back :/ Seriously I think my Patrons are trying to kill me. This one (the 2nd half - you'll see what I mean) really kicked my ass. Thank you to Patron Nicholas for the crazy request. Apparently this one had two bass players on it, Nathan East and James Genus. They probably switch out in the string break. The tune takes us through a bunch of d...

Hey, we're back. =) Did you miss me? I missed you. Hope this is a nice "I'm sorry" gift to all of you for my time away. See the previous video for a bit of an explanation on that. More Jaco! This is my personal favourite version of The Chicken, live from Japan, 1982. All the funky jaco lines and ideas, rolled into one. And fantastic solos from Bob Mintzer (t sax), Othello Molineaux (pan), and R...

Is there an effect on the original bass stem?
Please more classical with transcripción ❤❤❤❤
i've been learning bass for a few months now (self taught) and this is really insipiring
Erm.... Have you missed a bit out?
What a great transcription of a big song. I can play through it but I need to polish it. Our band is learning Josie. Thanks much.

Right on baby!
Mélenchon de poulet et un petit poussin à côté du Chicken !

Glad to see some credit for the amazing, and too often under-appreciated Rob Stoner. In addition to coming up with classic lines like this one from American Pie, Rob was for many years Dylan's music director, including for the notorious Rolling Thunder Review. A truly fine bass and keyboard player (he sometimes played keyboards for Chuck Berry), who has a unique musical vision and style. Nice transcription and cover!
Simplesmente Perfeito muito bom...
I cracked up when you hit that solo, only because I wasn't expecting it 😂 Very well done all around! I do think the bass in the original does more or less the same thing it does in the first verse. Regardless, your version kicks ass! Bravo!

Hi Benny, best regards to Canada from Germany. Well done. Your string action looks so low that you do not have to push that hard. The adjustment of the bass is so that even does not buzz or any other disturbing noise. 👍🏻(and you technique of playing for sure😉) regards Ralf
Capo absoluto 🎉❤
This is how good Jaco was, i legit thought he was doubling the bass the first time i heard this.
Unfortunately my stingray can’t produce this sound. I’m about to buy a j configuration and geek out
Speed up footage 😮 also inefficient fretting
Damn you're good man!! Respect
I wish i knew how to read tabs
The beginning of the tab is misleading the 4th fret on g is supposed to be 9th on d (same note) and even Benny plays it like this it's not possible to play it fast enough otherwise
Dude that was fucking filthy in the best way possible, you crushed that shit.
Could you make it so that we can see the next tab before it switches, instead of just guessing what it’s going to be
Someday I’ll be able to play this song, that will be an amazing day indeed.
I hope you are ok man
Kool maaan...lol!
Monster!)
Oh yeah man very good bass i'm playng yours post ,eternity 😊 thanks
Beautful rendition. Portrait of Tracy is very hard for me to play because I was cursed with small hands lol. Those stretches throughout the song kill me 😅
Awesome !!
For my own record 0:12
I hope your PhD in music is going well… yikes. Can you get actual credits for learning this tune.
How is this tuned? This is in D, not in G 🤷♂️
Sounds great! And I appreciate the notation in addition to tabs; I guess I'm old-fashioned in preferring to read that :)
Thanks I just practiced this. So good. I didn't know Odis died just days after recording this. Wow what a final presentation of his art
Fantastic! Chuck Rainey at his best. Great tone as well Benny.
Great job! Thanks Benny.
Benny Boom SakaLaka!
WOW!
Flawless
Muito bom 👍🏽
Why no tabs? :(
Bass amp equalization?
