I missed them when they were here in Atlanta and Terminal West is only 5 minutes from my house :( Pino is so incredibly tasteful... if you and Philip haven't checked out this artist, Pino and Quest are holding it down pretty hard here ua-cam.com/video/QufvfrH5_oQ/v-deo.html and Yebba, herself, is exquisite! Love what both of you guys are doing in your respective channels
I got to see Pino play a house show recently with Billy Valentine. Band was stacked; Larry Goldings, Jay Bellerose, Josh Johnson, Jeff Parker. Lots of solos were taken. But when there was a moment that felt like the obligatory “let Pino cook!!!” and everybody was looking at him, he just stayed playing the solid groove. There was some SUBTLE variation here and there but he basically was like “nah i’m good 🙂”
Scott, There are so many great musicians I don’t know anything about. It’s a joy to learn about new musicians and music, and I am honored to introduce you. Thanks for watching!
@@philipconradmusic - my tastes are eclectic, and my UA-cam and Spotify suggestions are all over the map. I figure that's the algorithms' problem. 50+ years of listening to music...
Yes Pino Palladino and James Jamerson are my bass heroes! Saw Pino at the John Mayer concert and he is next level. There’s a reason he plays for D’Angelo and John Mayer and other artists with a ton of hit songs. Thanks for helping others know about him!!
Another great video! Pino has become my favorite bassist. His musicianship is virtually unparalleled. His level of raw low-end creativity is stunning. He’s a daily inspiration for me.
Its the groove that keeps you in there. I saw him with Paul Young in the 80s. Killer basslines! Would love watch him live now. Hes really mastered his thing.🌟🙏
So cool that you got to see them on that tour. Pino is a true master and I’m glad you did a video celebrating him. His tone and touch are aspirational for sure.
Great anaylsis, thanks! Yeah Pino is widely recognised as one of the great bass players of all time, despite not being a reader, not slapping, and not really ever playing to show off chops. He plays just what the music needs with the utmost taste and incredible feel.
I saw Pino back on the Paul Young, No Parlez tour. 'Wherever I Lay My Hat' had not been released that long and suddenly a lot of folk were interested in the bass part and the guy who played it. Pino is one of the reasons I play bass.
That was a great little bit about Pino. I really enjoyed your video and I think you were right on the money about him being a time wizard lol. Check out the song love is alive. By Alain Clark. First time I heard it I thought oh cool I’m gonna learn the song real quick. After trying the first verse, I quickly realized that the timing on that baseline is what makes the song and it’s the timing on that baseline weirdly pushes and pulls constantly changing the feel of this song. At some point you even think is he doing this intentionally and then when you stop focusing on the baseline and listen to this song as a whole you go “hell yeah he did”. What a genius. I got it down eventually, but it took a while. He is truly a magician.
Great content! Thanks for the recommendation on the Notes With Attachments album too. I first became aware of Pino when he was doing the stuff with the John Mayer Trio. God bless you and all you love.
I saw Pino in London with john Mayer - outstanding. Nice tone Philip on your sound there, really round and warm 👍 I’m a funk player by nature and coming round to flats after all my life on rounds. Trying to get that warm thing myself and bring that into my playing.
Pino is awesome! He is a wizard in time but also in the use of space (I love his bassline in "Call Me" by Go West). This "solo" project (with Blake Mills) is so rich in colors, flavors, textures... Pino is an all terrain mad-bass-scienceman, just amazing.
Basically it's because he's just having fun and not wringing his hands over what's right or wrong to play at a given moment, AND crucially has excellent taste and a good ear. Beyond a modicum of mechanical facility that's really all you need as a bass player.
I just stumbled upon your channel in search of some "thoughtfulness" in my approach of bass playing. I've not found a channel quite like yours yet and it is very appreciated. From your story of Sean H. telling you to get an old P Bass, your own more affordable version of a Starfire and now Pino and Blake Mills with some Notes With Attachments goodness! I've played for a number of years and luckily have a good enough ear that I've managed this far without much "thoughtfulness" and not had to visit bass jail, ha ha (your term). I've needed some inspiration and to apply some "brain brakes" I think for a while now so I started watching videos on YT recently in effort to finally commit to putting together all the fragmented theory bits floating around in my head that I've picked up a long the way. I'm really enjoying your videos, thank you for taking the time to make them.
Just piling on here I guess, but Pino is such an inspiration. I’ve loved all of his stuff since I first heard him with Paul Young. And his work with John Mayer, The Who, etc etc is stellar. I’d love to hear a release of his ‘best of’ (not that there’s a ‘best’ anything really), especially on fretless. Honestly best of all is his ability to make me want to pick up and play my bass, and that’s priceless. Cheers and thanks, Philip.
Pino had me from his Gary Numan days, a time wizard indeed - thanks Philip, another insightful vid, love your work. And hey, now checking out Notes with Attachments, thanks for that too!!
Thanx for this video 🙏🏾🎸❤️🎶 Pino is a master, no doubt - everything he did with George Michael (Careless Whisper) and Paul Young in 80s through the Voodoo album with D’angelo - just so brilliant, so cool and grounded ❤️ a huge sourse of inspiration for me, for sure
@@philipconradmusicHow would you describe your tone? I have heard the terms midrange, punchy, a bit of bite, growl etc. but I have no idea what that means or exactly sounds like. Will you be able to explain those terms in one of your videos?
Thank you for the video! Gotta love Pino! Thanks for breaking it down. I've got a stock 1986 Epiphone Rock Bass that I'm sure you'd love. I own a ton of really nice basses, and this particular one is the best one for P-bass lovers. If you are ever in Tucson, you can borrow it.
I think Pino has/had a ear for what bass line makes a song better!..anything pino plays on sounds fantastic ,As a fan his bass playing changed from his more 'lead bass line' stuff to slower jazzy stuff...sorry if thats wrong termi! but im sure whatever he does is obviously brilliant !
Nice video! By the way, at the end of the video you've been mentionning the link to the very backing track you've been doing the intro on. Where can I get it?
Yes, he is a bass player with long experience. And like a good bass player, the music comes first. He is simply a good bass player who does his job. (You often hear bass players like him, if you listen )
Way back when I became fascinated with all things Jaco Pastorious. I think the same of Pino now, in that any piece of music he is involved in wouldn't be as good if it were someone else. Not bad in any way, just not as good.
"Time wizard"? Hmm, ok. Can we please talk in more grown-up terms about Pino's playing? He's not a 'wizard'. It's not 'magic'. His sublime playing style and his command of his craft deserves more respect.
If you’d like to learn more, I’d encourage you to transcribe some of Pino’s lines from the records he’s played on. That’s the best way to learn. Thanks for watching!
@@philipconradmusic Always happy to lean more, in the real world. And why would I want to transcribe Pino's lines? He's a great player. I'll take what I want from his playing (and what I can) into my own playing. No voodoo magic or wizardry involved.

He is "Self-Actualized" at Bass and plays for the music's sake. A beautiful thing!
That's a pino thang 😭🤣
I must be living under a rock... I had no idea who Pino was...
I appreciate the introduction, and have more music to listen to.
Thank you, Philip 🙏🏻🤍💛

His playing on D'Angelo's voodoo is insane, and I love his stuff with John Mayer too... Killer!!
love the groove you played in the back! amazing bass tone bro, palm mute technique brings that warm texture. bass love from Morocco
Thanks Mr Clyde! Greetings from Atlanta ⚡️
Another great video!

Thank you! I've heard his name so often yet never get into his music for some reason. You've helped me dive into it.
Any videos or material of Pino is greatly appreciated.
His stuff is like diamond. Hard to find and when found extremely valuable.
Thanks for watching!
One of the world’s greatest living Welshmen 🏴
Love the Gandalf reference. Never thought about that quote through the lens of music
Hahah thanks!
its that palm muted thumb pick thing for me. Its like the jamerson sponge. What a vibe
I agree! Love his feel. Thanks for watching ⚡️
So cool that you got to see them on that tour. Pino is a true master and I’m glad you did a video celebrating him. His tone and touch are aspirational for sure.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Conor
Literally watching this on the subway back from seeing pino at the blue note in nyc. Mind absolutely blown
Dude if I was anywhere near to NYC I would have been there too! Hope you had a great time!
Pino really understands his instrument , he’s one of my favourite players 💯
Great anaylsis, thanks! Yeah Pino is widely recognised as one of the great bass players of all time, despite not being a reader, not slapping, and not really ever playing to show off chops. He plays just what the music needs with the utmost taste and incredible feel.
Can’t wait till July. The legend is coming to town!
Awesome

Hey Phil, really enjoyed this one. Thanks man.
Thanks for watching!
Yes! Another video about how great Pino is..
I will keep making them until everyone knows 😆
Thanks man, appreciate your analysis. Also, the bass vibe on your playing for this clip was sick. Love that lofi jam.
Thank you!

Truly in the top 5 bass players of all time!
Agreed!
Great video Philip! Love your production and editing, in addition to your approach to explaining what makes Pino great.

I got to see Victor Wooten AND Sonny T at the same show!!!!
Awesome!
the album is fire! so cool you got to see them play it live. love sam gendel’s other work too
Absolutely top notch!
Really nice, interesting album. I can only imagine how it felt live...
Pretty stunning. Thanks for watching!
Not only seen my heroes play live I’m actually study with them.
Pino has been stretching the boundaries for 40 years he’s just incredible

That’s so kind of you to say. We all are growing and learning. Thanks for watching!

Sam is the sax player in Clown Core
Amazing musician!
plays with knower too! shout out to sam gendel
Thank you for the video!
Every musician should strive to be just a little more like Pino 😂
Cheers!
Agreed!
I’ve seen Pino with Paul Young twice and also with the Who and John Mayer. Also, according to all my pro Musician friends, he’s a really good bloke.
I have heard that as well!
Yes, I saw Roy Buchanan twice
Nice!
Nice video! By the way, at the end of the video you've been mentionning the link to the very backing track you've been doing the intro on. Where can I get it?

I listen, and I think he is more than just a good bass player that does his job. There are few like him.
Great vid! Did you record that bass with your B15?
Thanks! I used the origin effects upper vintage bass rig ⚡️
@@philipconradmusic sounds phenomenal! I’m getting into lofi bass and definitely drawing inspiration from your track here. Killer sound and vibe!
Thanks so much man! Glad to have you here
It took Pino Palladino to get people to take mij squiers seriously
Way back when I became fascinated with all things Jaco Pastorious. I think the same of Pino now, in that any piece of music he is involved in wouldn't be as good if it were someone else. Not bad in any way, just not as good.
I think he's around 6' 8" - hence the giant hands...
He is tall that’s for sure
I read he had a custom p bass made that is actually larger than a regular p bass. Can't seem to find the source now .
