Thanks so much

It's worth remembering that Jack Bruce was, firstly, classically trained. And secondly, an experienced jazz musician. Both of these made his bass playing a cut above the rest of the time.

Indeed, classically trained cellist. Probably why he preferred a fretless, interestingly, I played classical violin for 45 years before taking up a bass guitar in my 50s I really really struggle with frets but find fretless a doddle to play.

The dukes of hazzard bass is so cool!

The impact Cream had on rock music is immeasurable. The same holds true of the impact that Jack Bruce had on the electric Bass. They called it "lead" Bass, and he was a true pioneer.

Jack went into the Hospital for his second Liver Transplant. His Body rejected the first. After the operation he was in a COMA for a month and a half. He says in his Book I had to learn how to speak all over again when I came out oof it. A year ad a half later He was playing and singing at The Royal Albert Hall for The Reunion Tour.

I really liked this episode. Jack Bruce is one my most favorite bass players, as well as one of my greatest inspirations to become a bass player - lead singer like him.

Of all your videos, this obviously packs heavy music theory... Boy you really outdid yourself!! Cheers!!

Hi - Great video. I made a documentary with Jack not long before his death. 'Jack Bruce - The Man Behind The Bass' - its on you tube off and on depending on the BBC. The pic you use of Jack and his dog on the sofa is great. When we finished filming Jack and I swapped guitars and I now have the Thunderbird on the left of that picture. Jack took my Rumley baritone Telecaster. Great to have met him and stayed friends till his passing.

Your best video so far. I'm a Cream fan since I can remember, Jack Bruce was one of the reasons I decided to buy me a bass. Great video!

Thank you for the upload. JB was my hero. His performance impressed me and made me start the bass.

He was first trained as a boy soprano vocalist. Then he trained as a cellist in orchestra. Then he played upright bass in jazz/blues combos. Then he switched to electric bass and the rest is history.

Jack Bruce was such a powerful musician.

Göring’s actually

Sometimes Ginger Baker would get bored during a song and entirely change the beat without warning. Jack would immediately pick up the new beat and change his bass line to suit. I've never seen that happen with another band.

You obviously know what you're talking about w these terms...but the only thing I can grasp are the sound examples. For ex, I've been able to sound like Jack for years now, but couldn't describe it in the least. the problem is, I learned to play by listening (intently at first, of course) to figure out what he was doing, and then practice, practice, practice. Rock is simple, but since I don't read music, then I'd be limited to what I could play in a jam if it's not Rock, HR or Metal. At times I wish I was initially "trained" by a pro to be more rounded as well as I would've "gotten there" sooner w less effort.

1:36 damn, that's a beautiful bass(not the back tho) also, I really love watching your "how to sound" series, I like incorporating these bass techniques into my guitar leadwork and rhythm edit: should've made it clearer that I liked the front of the bass and not the back
