I got to play Stick on a gloriously 80's song.
I thought we were going to have Adrian Belew on this track but it ended up not working out.

Lots of Octave pedal, heavy vibrato and sliding going on. 2 handed bass.
There is a gratuitously long intro to the video so please endure or skip forward.
The most fun bits for me were on the bridge and outro.

Hey! Cool tune, man! Yeah the intro did seem a bit long, but I watched it anyways! hahaha
Good stuff!

For the record, remove the S in https, so it's just http AND use the full url
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiR0USBWmZI

not the youtu.be version of the URL

Pop THAT in the youtube tag and you are good to go.

Cool tune, good job!

Thanks Gene, for removing the S. Thanks Johnmarkpainter for "Tiger Eyes". And yes, those large eyes are the focus from start to finish, also the thematic C note that carries thru to each and every chord.

A stationary melody note relative to the key center could be considered as "moving" in contrary motion to the harmony. Just think of the C in this song as a different scale degree for each particular chord in the progression.

Nice game to play but also endless meaningful mileage in Western music. Chords and melody - all the way back to Italian opera and Celtic folk songs.

Must comment on the voice, with a pleasing Bowie like quality. Almost a tradition in English song, I call it "fragile masculinity".

I love 80s tunes. I love this one as well. I'm a huge sucker for a nice melody and this tune has it. I like the bass line and the slides. Pop songs have a craft to them and this one is just a beauty to listen to the studio production. Like Emmett, love that male vocal as well.

Did you just play the bass part? Who is this for, as a matter of branding or name-wise (if I wanted to see more of their or your stuff)? Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!

Evident eighties elements, cross Atlantic either way. Excellent product for the genre.

I actually produced this record.
Kevin Max and I go way back and have worked together off and on since we were kids in the 80's. Fun to get to do music like we were listening to back then.

I did another record with him last year. Only played Stick on one song on that one.
An odd version of "Strangers In The Night"
See if I correctly post the link
