    Her bass line for "Hey" is the reason I started playing the bass.

      for a while simple playing was underrated by everyone other than punks. Now people finally respect rhythm section again, and even casual listeners dig the pocket... but all the fuss is mostly about funk and R&B, so same as usual only heads care about punk. 😎

    The bass line from Here Comes Your Man is no joke, especially as she sang while doing it.

    Man, I've been playing along to Pixies songs for years. Although I was technically playing them right, I found that I could never quite lock in with what Kim was playing. Then I watched this video; NO DYNAMICS, downstrokes only, and prioritise the snare over the kick. Wow, now I'm instantly playing in the pocket on every song. These videos are genuinely making me a better bass player. Thanks again for another great lesson!!!

    The track labelled 'There's no other way' is actually 'I bleed'.
    I always like Kim Deal's playing and sound. Cool video, thank you.

    Kim Deal is very musical. She's a great songwriter. Impressively, even as a young musician, it felt like she wasn't trying to impress anyone -- she just liked music and wanted to play what sounded right to her. Her whole vibe feels like you and your buddies playing in a garage band, but she's really good at her craft and very creative. Her playing and singing feel authentic and sound good, and she has a good feel for getting the right groove for her bands' songs.
    Furthermore, I feel like if you listen to Kim's bass intros on Surfer Rosa and then you listen to some Nirvana, it seems to me that Kim influenced Krist Novoselic's bass style. Listen to Kim's bass intro to Hey and then listen to Krist's bass intro to, for example, Polly. I feel like Kim's bass was definitely a stylistic influence.

    she is a genius of harmonic progression. Something totally fundamental for any musician bass player
    and many of their's songs go forward beyond of tipically 4/4 and 4 or 8 chords progressions

    How about a video on Carol Kaye?

    Well done, love your explanations and analysis. Thought her gear was more complex and she uses an additional EQ and compression, but maybe with the right playing technique, the old strings and the right instrument / amp combination, this could work. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to see more videos from you.

    Hey, if you're still looking for great female bassists to focus on, I would love to see a video on Kathy Valentine of The Go-Go's. Her bass lines are so iconic. You can totally recognize it's one of their songs just from the bass alone...plus I'm going to see them live next week in San Francisco 😁

    @PaulDelBelloYT I'd be really interested in watching you doing a video about bassist Leslie Langston of Pixies' early tourmates Throwing Muses. She is in my opinion one of the most unsung bassists, I can find nothing on youtube specifically about her particularly melodic style of bass playing.
