It's a combo of both, he describes it a bit before the playthrough. There is an envelope of some kind going on. I'm curious to how it works, or if I misunderstood. I'm thinking the bass is with the synth, but the attack and decay of the real bass is synced up with the synth? I'm a little lost too 😂 But there is something clever going on. I love this bass line so much. It's just extreme groove/ funk /80s to me.

@ekojar3047

Ай бұрын

Ah ha! I got it, he says right here 4:33 No pun intended, but Basscally 😂 OK for real. There is a synth bass track being played, BUT it's silent if his bass isn't playing a note. He HAS to play the punches, and they have to be with the notes of the synth bass in the song of course. So, think about it as a mute button, but you can play with the mute button along with the synth bass track. I knew it was something clever! Haha I love it. And im paraphrasing, but he even says that "this is a LIVE band,"so anything on the albums, needs to be live-able. No cheating aloud. some artist don't have integrity, so they just play a digital file loud and collect a check. What he us doing here, is the most AUTHENTIC way to do it if you ask me. Because if he doesn't hit a note on the bass, the synth part doesn't make a peep. It still has to be played live.

TheAiket when you say “scene” do you mean “played live” or “played on video”? I don’t think the timing is off due to a technological issue (like the audio of this not syncing with the video component.) It’s a fast bass line and playing along to something like this on little speakers where he can’t hear the beat really clearly, it does make sense Leland would be behind a few times without other cues to work from like other musicians or a click track. But mostly I think he might have just been a bit out of practice - it’s a song that requires a fair bit of precision, especially since the original bass line was played on a synthesiser. As I said, no disrespect to Leland but understand why he said “sloppy”, especially given he’s such a precise player most of the time.

@sundayarvo

For comparison, watch some Of Leland’s vids from this series where he’s tighter, or Guy Pratt who’s doing similar recaps of his classic bass lines, but a bit more high tech (all chances Guy is doing some post processing on his tracks, but his finger work is pretty damn tight on the vids)

Please forgive my ignorance in this comment... I grew up listening to Phil Collins in the car (my Dad would rotate through Phil Collins, Queen, Elton John and other greats). I decided that I'd listen to Phil again today and when Sussudio came on, I thought "Wow that band is good, listen to that BASS". I clicked on a few videos after Sussudio, some covers, and also this man holding a bass with an amazing beard, you. This is where the ignorance comes in, as I learnt you were the bassist on the track, and have a ridiculously huge body of work, and I'd not heard of you before (as I don't really know many bassists!) Great video, great playing and thanks for sharing your experiences.

I credit this song and seeing you play it live during the Seriously tour back in 1990 for making me a bass player today! Back then I was a gigless keyboard player who payed little attention to the bass guitar, but you had such a presence on stage and then you started belting out those bass lines in Sussudio and I was blown away! I started paying much closer attention to the bass guitar after that moment, eventually acquired a cheap Yamaha bass, two weeks later played it for a church worship set and was was approached afterwards by a guy that liked my playing and asked me to audition for his band. Didn't take long before people forgot I could play keys, but that's okay I've had tons of fun over the past 30 years as a bass player. You have literally changed my life! Thank you Mr. Sklar!

There is a similar tale regarding ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down." Jeff Lynne said that when he was recording the initial vocal tracks, he felt that there was an odd silence after the word "down," so he just made the nonsense sound "Groos!" His German producer told him that meant something in German, so that was good enough for Jeff to leave it in. When he started to tour in support of the album, he noticed that when he played "Don't Bring Me Down," the audience always shouted out "Bruce!" So, with a can't beat 'em, join 'em attitude, Jeff sang "Bruce!" for the rest of the tour, and that is the only version most people know! 😂

Then a bit into it and you realize holy shit, the title is THAT Sussudio! and he is the Bassist that played with Phil bloody Collins! I bow my head to you sir! you were a big part of my childhood, born in the 70s growing up in the 80s the music was so great. So awesome to see you on the tubes. I don't know if you will ever see my comment in the thousands you get but thank you for being you.

He has played with TONS of heavy cats!

What a pleasure and privilege to not just see you, but hear you telling the stories! I am old enough to have seen you play well over a hundred times. James Taylor alone, probably 50 times. Saw you play Susudio in Oakland June 7 & 8. Saw you so many times I lost count in the early days at Shoreline Amphitheater (as a resident, we got first crack at tickets, saw dozens of shows a year) Still have hundreds of vinyl records with your immaculate chops anchoring the sound. You have truly played on the soundtrack of my life, and I thank you, sir.

You’re amazing, playing so many classics from memory like it was this morning.

What a joy to listen to. As a non bass player I was impressed how you don't get dragged into the main tune. I tried to imagine myself playing your lick and had to concentrate really hard.

Gandalf truly is a wizard, and he rocks. Awesome !!

He yells sloppy ... I’m burning my guitars in a pile in the back yard.

Incredible musician! Man, that was a pleasure. Thanks for sharing!

No jacket required came out when I was young (8 years old), but so many song on this album were go-to listens for me that this album is integrated with all my fond memories of my youth. This video popped up in my feed, so I watched it again and I still love it. The blue on that bass is gorgeous. Love it.

The man is so great not only as a musician his love for the dogs the garden, that kindness is a gift, just like his great playing on so many albums. From Dublin Ireland Thank you Leland Sklar .

Who downvoted this legend who was so humble as to share his experience, gift and story with us? Thank you sir for this, you must have some stories.

Nobody knows, because KZread turned the counts of so they don't offend the current regime...

It's always an absolute delight to watch you play these classic songs that you were such an integral part in creating, Lee. Happy Holidays to you, and yours!

It's obvious that after ALL these years you still absolutely LOVE WHAT YOU DO!

So classic a groove, 35 yrs later, and presented w such a warm, engaging storytelling style. That is another talent itself. This made my day, thank you. 😊

Thanks Leland,you are inspiring all of us.

If we played 'six degrees of Lee Sklar' we'd literally connect all seven billion of us.

Um, I think the whole idea behind "six degrees" is that any two people can be connected within 6 social connections.

Mahalo for sharing your stories….was a pleasure watching you play….🤙🏾

This is becoming a welcome part of my day. We walked into NAMM together one morning a couple of years back, and just chatted about nothing, but you struck me as a genuine nice guy. You still do.

YESSSSS THIS IS THE SONG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR, LEE. This bassline is so bouncy and perfect and I never seem to be able to play it right so I wanted to see how you play it, see whatever secret sauce you apply to your playing to get it just right. Thank you, these videos have made self-isolation so much more bearable.

This dude is simply a amazing bassist well rounded man not many people can play as good as him he can literally do anything!!

He is tremendously good

One of the worlds best bass players i find. I'm 50 so i know a little. Singer by origin myself. Musician's family here. Grew up with all the great music. 70s/80s 😎

Mr. Sklar, hace 19 años, un familiar muy amado por mi, me invitó a su estudio y me dijo "siéntate y cierra los ojos" concéntrate y escucha cada instrumento de la siguiente canción "Sussudio", separalos y únelos al final y mira como cada uno aporta a la canción, eso se llama melodía armoniosa, y cuando escuché esta versión del bajo inmediatamente me transportó a esa sala, a ese momento y escuché el bajo que me enamoró de su música. Dios siga cuidando sus manos, saludos desde Aguascalientes, México

me paso algo parecido pero la diferencia es que tengo un amigo que sabe mucho de música y de sonido, así que con una aplicación hace que cada instrumento de cualquier canción que yo escuche tenga su propia dimensión, osea, me transporta como si estuviera en medio de los instrumentos y de verdad que concuerdo contigo, en especial con sussudio porque pude sentir la armonía que dices, gracias a eso se ha vuelto una de mis favoritas!!

This guy is a legend! Cheers Leleand for sharing your insights and of course your playing ability with us...

You’re a treasure Leland thank you for this!🔥❤️

Glad to see you're still baking the strings! Blessings from captivity in Spain. AD --Omega Mode
