@@IanMartinAllison that’s pretty good time, you did an awesome job! I also really appreciate the clarity of the bass in the recording, it really helps with recognizing the notes/intervals. In learning songs for cover bands I’ve found that many bass lines aren’t quite this clear, so I think this particular song could be a great exercise for those looking to advance their ear training. 👍🏻

You can tell just by watching their other vids that Ian is a killer player. I think he may have even been hamming it up a bit. This tune isn't *terribly* difficult
Is there a better feeling than finding a shirt that perfectly matches your bass? Well done, Ian. 👏🏻😎
I’m sorry, but his face at 1:50 when the groove kicked in was PRICELESS!
Birdland by Weather Report would be fun to watch someone learn by ear. Also, the joy when you hit that final note! Love it, great job friend.

I’m gonna stick with Jaco, but suggest Joni’s “Dry Cleaner From Des Moines”, specifically the intro on Shadows And Light live concert. Much less well known, yet still predictably bonkers.

@garrettlimberis9313 I learned it once back in college, because our marching band was playing Birdland, and I recently picked up the bass again and could not get those harmonics to come out anymore lol
I love that there’s tab/notation with this, but I highly recommend learning it by ear first. IMO the only way to train your ear to recognize intervals and patterns is by doing it. If you just want to learn the song quickly then jump straight to the PDF, but you might be missing out on a great learning opportunity.

Ten minutes into the video and I realized I was seating and smiling all the time, such a joy. It took him one year less than it'd taken me to get the line to the tips of the fingers so far.
Try Tetsuo Sakurai's bass solo with casiopea during the song "domino line" on the live version, you can find the video on youtube
10:07 PLEASE explain your thought process for getting back after you got lost! It’s a super useful skill that no one talks about.

My tip is not to try to get back right away if you're hesitating. Take a breadth and try to hear the part in your mind and jump back on once you have it in your head.
Absolutely legendary skills from Mr Allison there! Love seeing Scott with the SBL Lull bass as well!
sooooo who is moving need this chemistry in all videos with shazz on the side
Ian is brilliant - nails it everytime
Ian's pain is so entertaining for the rest of us mortals. I also can't get enough of the two Mike Lull custom basses you guys are rockin!
Always love seeing you guys together and your chemistry. Great song to cover
Absolutely love the learning-on-the-fly content. Lessons and exercises are one thing, but these "figure it out" moments are what will make or break you when you show up to a jam.
Ian is one of the GOAT bassists...I literally was watching intently being amazed how quick he got some of those lines.

Nice idea making that! Super nice song, obviously, happy that you ve put your interest into

Quick correction for future knowledge - Woody Goss, the keyboard player, actually wrote the line. Joe just played it incredibly well. It's inspired by 'Teen Town' on Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius. Love the vid!

Awesome! That song took me a whole summer to figure out. My recommendation for Scott is The Who - The Real Me.
Gawd. Ian is a monster. It would have taken me 2 months to work that out.
Brilliant idea. It helps to understand the learning process. Thanks!!
Man, i loved (and hated) learning this song in college, and playing it for my senior recital. But i wouldve LOVED to play this and tear it apart with Ian when he was still teaching lessons at the college I went to!
wow very impressive Ian❤
Awesome Ian...you nailed it!!! Havona would be a piece of cake to/for you Scott... 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Can we just take a second to appreciate the skill at learning somthing by ear for a moment! Such a rare trait to come by these days! Also for a suggestion for Scott, give him some Periphery to do. I want to hear that man do some Djent bass

To be honest, you didnt struggle nearly as much as I expected, hearing those intricate lines, and the "singing before playing" advice and demonstration is GOLD to wrap your head around things. Thank you for this video. As for an idea of what to put Scott through: Ernie Ball have this "string theory" video series inviting artists to talk and play their isolated parts. There's one with Justin Chancelor from Tool where his tone and riffs shine throughout the whole thing, but at 7:37 he plays a part of "Wings for Marie", the section on 8:56 is (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful things ever written for bass, which I never before fully appreciated hearing it within the mix with the also haunting Maynard vocals on top. I wish Scott could try learning and playing the whole section for us, if you could. Thanks!
Very nice Ian, GOAT

I bet Ian has not stopped playing this song 24/7 after the recording of this video just like us all hahaha welcome to the club Ian!
That would take me a month of Sundays on my own. Thank you!
Ha, Ian's doing Shaz Face 😁. That aside, that is really impressive dude, to get a new song in just 10 minutes. I hope I can do that at some point. Way to go Ian
I love watching the SBL clips! And i'm not even a bassplayer myself. If you guys ever find the time to talk about Aaron Mills from the band Cameo, that would be great! Greetings from Belgium.
Guys, it's great to see you and hear you figuring out these pieces of music but could you talk about the theory behind each phrase more. You are both excellent bass players, this stuff comes very easy to you. Give us some of your knowledge in terms of how the song is constructed harmonically, rhythmically and so on. Love you guys!
Pretty damn impressively fast mate, respect!
