Hello Leon. Your Father was a great bass player, but I'm sure you know that. Where do you live? It would be my honor to teach you the song as I've learned it.

TJH3113 Troy, Got a question for you. Not sure if you are a fan of TOOL. I'd like to know your opinion. What do you think of Justin Chancellor, Bass 1995 - Present or Paul D'Amour 1990 - 1995. As always I value your opinion. One hell of band though 🤘🏼

Sir, You absolutely nailed that! Bob Burns was a close personal friend of mine. We played many many many hours together doing the entire Skynyrd song list. He told me many great stories about Leon and Bob considered Leon one of the greatest bass players who ever played. Bob' story on him and Leon working the bass parts up to Sweet home Alabama was priceless. SO many overlooks Leon and the Bass Line in That Smell is right up there with the greatest bass parts of any rock song. Thank you for showing people just how much Leon meant to the world of Rock n Roll. WELL DONE!

Hi Susan and thank you very much. That's so cool that you were able to get the inside scoop from Bob Burns. There are a few Skynyrd bass-lines that rival some of the most challenging prog covers that I've done, in terms of their nuance and technical difficulty. Take care.

@@anthonybernabei2000 I'm so sorry that you lost your gear. This bass belonged to my brother-in-law who buys and sells vintage instruments. It was a'66 Jazz bass that, I think, sold for around $18,000! I remember it being the bassy-est Jazz bass I'd ever played and had to do a lot of EQing to get a sound I was satisfied with out of it. I think any Jazz bass sort of bass would be fine for you. Squier even makes some really great basses that are really affordable.

Another tasty cover, Troy. Loved it. I'm not a Fender guy myself, but the story on that bass even makes me want to buy it ! lol I happen to have the original vinyl of "Street Survivors" which is worth a few bucks nowadays. Great album, great band. I would like to add to your comment about your greater appreciation for their musicality. I have found over the years, trying to learn bass lines to my favorite songs that pretty much, without exception, that there are no "bad" bass players. The bass part played is what helps the song along, and what sticks in our brains. Some people voice negativity about Roger Waters, Adam Clayton, Gene Simmons, etc., but their lines are what was needed in the song. Those guys weren't playing in Rush, or Yes, but IMO, the bass lines are perfect in the songs they played. I think one of the most unsung bass players to the general public is Paul McCartney. If you play bass, you know he's one of the very best, but he doesn't get the same affirmation as some. Just my 2 cents, thanks for another awesome playalong. You rock!
