When I see youngsters like you working so hard to keep this wonderful music alive I know it will live on for years to come to thrill future generations. And that feels real good.
I think of Proclamation as one of Giant's "easier" progressive songs and it may be, but there is nothing safe about Ray's bass part. He plays off the beats, he leaves beats empty, he does not fill chords but transforms them. Quite an amazing part. And I never realized how much that is so in this song, in 45 years of listening, until hearing this bass cover. Nice job!
@@baddogmaine I think it's funky, and Stevie wonder esque, but you're right it does go into some odd time prog ij the middle and the second part with the vocals and the weird scales is totally prog
@@ladywilhelminabass Gentle Giant are, in my opinion, the greatest prog band ever because they had such amazing range. And Ray Shulman was the greatest rock bass player, because he was technically incredible and musically creative. Check out the bass line in this link. And Shulman is the violinist too. If you get into Gentle Giant and Ray Shulman the amazement never stops. ua-cam.com/video/UpsRnkzUhfc/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
That was awesome! Ray was something out of this world. Bass and acoustic guitars, trumpet, violin, and probably any other instrument he had a time to familiarize with.
Awesome 👏 I saw them live during the 🐙 Octopus album tour. Knots was phenomenal live. Great choice for a cover !!! Before the days of sequencers, when you actually had to play something 🎼.
Thanks a lot. I recreated and transcribed the bassline from a gentle Giant wiki site that had very old sheets. I have a Google docs but I'm not sure if this song is in there. You can ask if yo need it!
The rhythm that you are playing is fantastic. Yes, it's in 4/4 time, but I'm talking about the syncopation and all that. You GOT it!@@ladywilhelminabass
Well done. However, in the beginning, you're off a bit. Ray did a subtle thing that is difficult to explain, but you can hear in that phrase (which repeats twice but with a slightly different timing for one note of the phrase) how you're about a quarter beat behind starting at 0:52. You're slightly behind the note. When he modulates up at 1:11, you're behind again. Listen again carefully...
@@charlesdp well thank you for the acknowledgement. I have been playing this song for like 6 years though, I once played it live at a recital but that's it
@@ladywilhelminabass Menina, parabéns. Certas músicas são atemporais e a do Gentle Giant entra nessa categoria. Você chegou a ver o vídeo de tributo dos fãs com a participação dos integrantes da banda? Teve gente brasileira tocando e uma das baixistas é brasileira também!

I'm not that young, but I love gentle Giant. I don't think music will ever die
Ray Shulman was a monster on bass!!
May he rest, he's dearly in my heart

Wow. Gentle Giant. When was the last time I heard their music. Thank you for keeping this music alive. Well done!~
@@jliveguy5164 thank you
Hello from Montreal Canada, Amazing cover Ray would be proud !
I enjoy seeing younger musicians keeping Gentle Giant's music alive
Thank you so much
OMG soooo much more satisfying listening to this song while actually seeing someone playing it as well ✊️😤✊️ thanks for sharing!
Thank you
That was awesome! Ray was something out of this world. Bass and acoustic guitars, trumpet, violin, and probably any other instrument he had a time to familiarize with.
RIP
YES YES YES! Respect. Ray would be proud.
That makes me feel good. Thanks. I hope he would. I regret not recording for the Proclamation homage video
What a great performing! Good to hear that Giant precision. 🌼🌼🌼🌼👏👏👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵
Thank you
Wonderful! Thank you! Very inspiring!
Thank you!
R.I.P. Raymond!

Super well done! :) I still have the vinyl album I bought back in 1975.
Super duper
Your technique is really awsome! Really precise! Congratulations!
Thanks!
Danke, Du hast das richtige Feeling für diesen Song!
Danke
Impressionante! Essa linha de baixo é muito complicada no tempo e você mandou bem demais! Parabéns!
Obrigada
Great job on a complicated Giant song.
As good as Ray Shulman himself.
It's not that complicated, not compared to other songs! Check out thiago consorti
Great bass playing.

Fantastic, wow!!!! 😮
Thank you. Incredible album right
Amazing!!! the tone is perfect!!!
Almost, I almost used my PJ with flats and a pick, to sound like him, but I did it my way because this song is hard with a pick
Wow, excelente , que difìcil debe ser transcribir a Ray Shulman (RIP), buen trabajo felicidades!!!
Gracias
sounds fucking awesome
@@zenevg thanks
Really well played: thank you.
No, thank you
Awesome 👏 I saw them live during the 🐙 Octopus album tour. Knots was phenomenal live. Great choice for a cover !!!

Thank you so much sorry for taking months to replt
Well done. Great job.
Thank you
@@ladywilhelminabass I was lucky enough to see them live in 1976. So different from the other stuff I used to listen to.
Fantastic!
I appreciate it a lot
wow, what a great bass player you are!
thank you so much
Saw Gentle Giant 'live' twice long ago. Absolutely fantastic! By the way, I love the bass part you do beginning at 1:37!
Thanks a lot. I recreated and transcribed the bassline from a gentle Giant wiki site that had very old sheets. I have a Google docs but I'm not sure if this song is in there. You can ask if yo need it!
Good job! RIP RAY
Yeah, life goes on. But gentle Giant is forever
Se garante!!!!🤘
Espero q sim. Banda de prog, gentle Giant mee chama
@@ladywilhelminabass Muito bom!!!!
Lovely.
Thank you
Bravissima!
Grazie bono
👏👏👏👏👏
Love you mom
very awesome! excellent finger work! what is that thing around the neck?? those pearl inlays are SO NICE too
It's just a string mute. Thanks
that was fabulous. Ray's basslines are not easy to play.
They're not. Thank you
@@ladywilhelminabass my pleasure
The rhythm that you are playing is fantastic. Yes, it's in 4/4 time, but I'm talking about the syncopation and all that. You GOT it!@@ladywilhelminabass
The main theme is 4, but it has a groove. The rest of the song has tons of time signature changes. It's insane
Might interest you my prog rock playlist or me playing wreck from acquiring the taste
Cracking . 😂 . Where are you from . ?

The line chsnges from Dm to f
This song is a 16th note swing funk
Now I know what you're talking about! Yes the octave is upbeat but he plays it on downbeat once. I was trying to copy the recording here
Great playing however isn’t the video wrong as you are right handed in all the others
I just got better at editing videos. I'm right handed
This is not an easy piece.
@@charlesdp well thank you for the acknowledgement. I have been playing this song for like 6 years though, I once played it live at a recital but that's it
@@ladywilhelminabass You certainly learned it very well. By the way, Gentle Giant was such an interesting band, don´t you think?
@@ladywilhelminabass Pera aí! Você é brasileira???
@@charlesdp sou sim haha. Eu sou jovem que escuta rock de veio. Mas amo encontrar o pessoal mais velho nos shows.
