Movin' On Bass Cover
Вставка

- Happy 45th to Bad Company’s self titled, debut album which came out on this date in 1974!
The song is “Movin’ On” and features the late, great Raymond “Boz” Burrell on bass. He’s got a nice “chug” going on in this one.
Speaking of “chug”, our vacation is chugging along towards its eventual conclusion, but we’ve still got a couple of tricks up our sleeves. Tomorrow is our first show of the season at Bethel Woods. We’re taking Lynn’s Brother, Ted, to see The Royal Affair Tour which features YES, Asia, John Lodge (of The Moody Blues), and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy (featuring Arthur Brown on vocals). What a line-up! The weather is looking great and I’m looking forward to an enjoyable show. If Arthur Brown does “Fire” I might lose it! That guy is crazy.
On Friday we’re back down to the city to see “The Origin of Love - The Songs and Stories of Hedwig” at The Town Hall. I’m really not sure what sort of format this show is going to take but I’m sure it will be interesting. It started out as a one night event but they kept selling seats and it turned into 3 sold out shows. Somehow, I managed two front row seats at face value which I may wind up trading for a couple of aisle seats a bit further back. Most of the front row and loge seats were $500 VIP’s, all the proceeds of which are going to the Ali Forney Center, an organization committed to protecting homeless LGBTQ youth.
Then, a relaxing Saturday followed by tears on Sunday.
I’m playing the Guild B-302A which has since been converted into a B-301A. The neck pickup from this bass now resides in the Steinberger Synapse that I will get around to posting a cover with eventually.
Paul Rogers and BAD CO! Rock~N~Roll at its finest!
The quintessential voice of rock music.
Wow I never realized that time had such a busy bass line. What a great song.
Yeah, pretty cool, isn't it?
Love this bass line.... It's just HAPPY.
Me too...yes, it is happy, isn't it?
Sounding Awesome as always, Great tune to cover.
Cheers
Thanks a lot.
Yep, keep my tradition. Listen while reading. Then I'll watch it again to see how it's played.
Thanks for sharing Troy!
Thanks for watching, reading, and taking the time to comment.
Your reaction to your mistake at 3:03 gave me a good laugh! Absolutely loved this cover!
Yeah, it was like walking down the street and tripping over your own feet. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
@@TJH3113 What the hell was the mistake? I'm obviously not a bass player (don't play any instrument actually), but I certainly did not hear anything wrong.
EDIT - did you miss a beat by a 32nd of a note? Certainly did not sound pitch related.
Boz is a badass and so are you my bass brother. Well done as always. Thanks.
Truth! And thanks for the kind words.
Many thanks again for demonstrating this, I can always rely on your accuracy and it saves me a lot of hard work.
It was my pleasure. I'm glad it was helpful.
Funky funky funky..... I love it Troy. You can really jam!!!!
Thanks Marvine!
Great playing Troy and your guild sounds perfect for this song. ✌🏻
Thanks a lot. I think so too.
Boz was(woz?) from a tiny place just down the road from me and actually went to college in my home town of King's Lynn, Norfolk. He also formed his first band there with mates called the tea time 4. Chances are if you were to ask every single person in this town about him, 99% wouldn't know how you ment at all! Still for a little place it's very historic, people just don't care enough!!! Great song and great playing as always Troy!
Very interesting. It's too bad the town has forgotten, but at least you haven't and that means something.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Nailed it! As usual.
Love this bass line. So cool.
Thank you very much.
Smooth as silk brother!👍
Thank you kindly.
Just had to refresh my memory to get ready for a gig, glad you posted this. Thanks
Awesome! I hope it helped.
Your articulation is simply incredible. Thanks!
Wow, thanks so much!
DAMN, Troy! Well done, Sir! What else can be said? Yet another FLAWLESS performance!
Thanks a lot...well, if you stick around to the end, you'll see that it was not quite flawless.😂
Man you are one prolific musician..👏🔥🎶👍💪☝️🎵👂👀
Well, that's one word for it. Thanks!
Thank you again for being there hope all is well with you and yours
Thank you too and take care of yourself!
Another cover well and truly enjoyed Troy ....
Enjoy your up-and-coming shows ... you'll be getting a double dose of Palmer it seems ....ELP legacy AND Asia ... nice.
p.s. If the "tears" on Sunday are to do with your friend Marks "farewell" then i hope it all goes well for you ....
Thanks. Double doses for a few of the musicians that night...Billy Sherwood will be playing bass and singing for both Yes and Asia and I assume Geoff Downes will be in both of those acts as well. I heard that Steve Howe sits in a few songs with Asia too. Should be interesting.
Ah, no...the tears on Sunday will be for work on Monday😭.
I know you don’t do suggestions or request but I’m going to throw this one out there. But I have a feeling your better half could talk you into this classic. Thanks for the Bad Co. upload truly enjoy it.
Black Oak Arkansas-Jackie Blue
Before I get torched.
It was the Ozark Mountain Daredevils
I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Masterpiece !
Thanks!
Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot.
Excellent as always Troy. Enjoy the show at Bethel Woods. That is such a nice venue. I think I've told you once before that I used to live up that way, (Gods Country). Have an awesome day man 🤙
Thanks and yes, I'm looking forward to it. I do believe we have spoken about that once some time ago. Thanks so much...you too.
Awesome stuff as always
Thank you very much.
The Bass you play is the best.
Every Bad Campany Bass you play is a great example.
Please take care of yourself and continue playing good bass.
This is a comment from Google's Japanese translation function, sorry for the strange text.
I'm listening from a distant Japan.
どうもありがとうございました。
動画を気に入って頂けてとても嬉しいです。
私は自分自身の世話をしようとしますし、あなたもそうしてくれることを願っています。
私の友達の世話をする！
I like that funky beat Troy! Cool!!!!!!! Marvine
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks.
Song modulated to the key of F for just a sec there, lol. Really fine and funky playing. What a great album that was.
Did it? Thanks.
Yes, what an amazing debut the made with this record.
Very good bass playing on this tune.
Thank you, Robert.
Nice, you've inspired me to add that to my repertoire. Great job, killer song. Amazing what you can do with a walking bass in a rock song. Thanks for posting!
Awesome!
Thanks a lot.
Rock solid.
Thank you.
And all this time I thought this song was played on a "fretless" bass. Another great song with way more notes than I had ever imagined be in there. Thanks for the share and I'm jealous that you are going to see YES, Asia and..... Cheers, my friend.
Ah, I believe you are right, it was played on a fretless.
Thank.
Don't be too jealous. I'm sorry to say the show was not very good.
Love Paul Rogers' voice! Nice bass cover here!
Yes, Paul is the quintessential voice of Rock. Thanks!
@@TJH3113 Paul's vocals still sounds great!
Cool sound!!!
Thanks!
Thats a nice fat bass sound to a great groove, uplifting 👍🏼
Thanks, I'm very glad that you liked it.
This is absolutely astonishing 😀
I'm going to tune up the BG-29 right now.
Thanks. (I had to look up what a BG-29 was) Have fun!
I actually just bought the steinberger 5 string. It was fairly interesting at first and a little awkward. But the leg rest makes up for all that. It's a great bass. Can't wait to see yours
Did you get a Spirit or a Synapse? I'm happy with mine as well (Synapse). If Dan K. Brown of The Fixx plays one, they can't be too bad.
@@TJH3113 Oh it's a spirit, I'm assuming the difference is subtle. I'll have to give The Fixx a listen immediately then
The mighty GUILD!
Boz made their music not be vanilla.
Behold~
I guess he did, didn't he?
Da man!!
Da thanks!
Troy: I always thought the bass and drums really drove this song in particular. Nice playing as always. As for the Crazy World of Arthur Brown: he's a screamer! Especially on "Fire". I still remember when my older sister had a 45 with that song in the 70's and they played it often. That song is forever burned into my memory lol. Take care. Patrick
I'd have to agree with you on that.
Can't wait to see Arthur Brown...will definitely get some video of it..."you're gonna burn..."
@@TJH3113 I believe there's a video of Arthur Brown's "Fire" floating around on You Tube done back in the early 70's. Nonetheless he was wild lol
@@TJH3113 I found a "Fire" video taken at one of his Munich shows in 2016: ua-cam.com/video/ZEKElYD-mYM/v-deo.html
@@RoadKing-ky2bs, that was great. This is how I want to remember him. Sadly, his performance with ELP was not nearly as good. Nothing on Arthur's part, he gave it his all, the band was just lackluster. Very disappointing.
@@TJH3113 other then the Hammond keyboards that ELP and Arthur shared in that same era, you couldn't ask for two more polar opposite artists. I couldn't imagine the two joining forces on stage since they are different genres. The sad part for me is Keith Emerson dying in March 2016 and Greg Lake 8 months later in December 2016. Talk about a double blow in one year. "Tarkus" is still my all time favorite by ELP, but they made a lot of great albums throughout the 70's. I am grateful my older brother turned me on to all those great artists during the 1970's.
The band Missouri also have a rocker with the same title. It's a kickass song worth a listen.
I'll check it out.
Wow,,, I think the Guild is the best sounding of all I've seen.
They are among my favorite basses.
good 'ol rock
That's it.
Sweet!!
Thanks.
good very song
It is, isn't it?
👍
Troy I had to get up this time to shake my fanny :-) Couldn't sit still! Marvine
Haha...thanks Marvine.
Ohh yeah lml 🎸
Thanks.
@TJH3113, you're incredibly talented!! How is it your bass practice routine? What would you recommend for those who wish to enhance their bass skills? Thanks, pal! Rock on!
Thanks for the very kind words. I don't really practice any more so much as just sit and learn songs and practice those to get them to the point where I can record them without making any glaring mistakes. This is essentially what I did when I was young except, back then, I would play some simple scales (from the 6th fret down) to build up speed, strength, and to get an even tone out of both fingers.
How are the precious cats? I know they love you guys :-)
We lost our oldest yesterday to illness and old age, so we're back to 6 now.
@@TJH3113 He is probably a little grief stricken too. Poor precious.
Bro how many basses do you have? I understand the addiction, Im up to 11 currently but Ive lost count of yours. Great job on covering Boz as always, and still willing to trade my first born child for one of those Guilds if youre ever interested!
Cheers
Yeah, it's a bunch.
Thanks.
The Guilds are among my favorites. There are always a few up for sale on Reverb.
Is that... a smile?..... on this video's thumbnail?........
It wasn’t the thumbnail that UA-cam suggested but I thought it looked odd so I chose it😁
I thought you would be playing that song from Human League! I have one request - and it's not for you to record a song, I just hope you, as a bass player, listen to "Water Song" by Hot Tuna, off the Burgers album. It's sublime bass playing and if you haven't heard it before, you totally should!
It sounds like there are a bunch of songs out there with this same title.
I'll check it out.
💕
Go see Tony Franklin play bass Sunday at Bethel Woods opening for Peter Frampton
Ah, last night of our vacation...back to work tomorrow. We've seen Tony a couple of times playing with different people...Kenny Wayne Shepherd was one. Great player.
Awesome stuff as usual Troy. This is off-topic but I didn't know where else to ask; have you ever heard All I Want by Toad and the Wet Sprocket? It's a beautiful song with a really slick bassline, I feel that you might like it. Me and my buddy are trying to learn it for our bar outfit, but no matter what we do, we sound out of tune. What could be causing this, I wonder? The song is in D, but playing in actual D sounds like, dare I say HELL. It's not in half step or anything either, do you have any clue what could be causing this? Thanks for your work!
Thanks a lot.
Yes, I've heard that song and love it. I started learning it a couple of times but the tuning is weird and I hate retuning the bass for just one song. I know, lazy, right? Maybe I'll ask my friend, Jim to see if he could do some pitch correction for me.
Ah, I started answering before reading your entire comment...so, yeah, they are tuned a semitone off of concert pitch, so it's a pain.
plz do some more duran duran!
Anything in particular?
maybe union of the snake, Skin trade or Wild boys
Dude i want your bass skills... that finger picking is a bitch for us guys that's played guitar with picks all our life.. u rock 🤘
Haha...if I could play with a pick, I would! Most of my favorite players were pickers. Thanks a lot!
@@TJH3113 haha that's cool brother..
Have you thought about covering Nobody's Hero or Animate?
There's too much "flamenco" in Animate, so I'll probably never do that one. The other one is a possibility.
Definitely foot tapping music. I'm not familiar with this group. i like their music. You and Lynn are having a wonderful vaca. Enjoy it to the fullest. i always lose it when I see your videos and at concerts and even at home. You know I am a musicholic. Marvine :-0
Yes, definitely! Thanks Marvine. Talk to you later.
@@TJH3113 OK Troy. Thanks. Marvine :-)
JEEZ, the album Bad Company turned 45?!?! Oh crap, that's right. That means I'm turning 45 this October.🙄
Glad I could help to remind you.
@@TJH3113 My 6-year-old daughter recently saw a St. Jude Hospital commercial that featured a girl on chemo. She asked me why the girl had no hair, and I explained powerful medicine that is fighting the cancer made her hair fall out. So my daughter then asked, "Are you also taking that powerful medicine?" I explained, "No thankfully. My hair is falling out just because I'm getting old." Yes, age 45 is on the near horizon for me, as my belly and hairline remind me.😔😞
I just made this video, and it was EXTREMELY AND DECEPTIVELY HARD! So far, the hardest video I have made. It took me almost 4 hours of practice to get this one close, and I'm still only about 95 percent accurate.
Plus I'm still kinda weak on my ghost notes.
I had a much easier time doing Natural Science by Rush (even though I made tons of mistakes on it).
Getting all of the different parts was tough!
Good job, BTW/
4 hours is pretty good. I'm sure I had much longer into my cover. Yeah, it's got a cool, chugging feel to it that's sometimes difficult to emulate. I thought you did a great job on it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks and take care.
@@TJH3113 I appreciate that! I did make a huge mistake on it. I might to it again.
What strings do you use?
D'Addario EXL220's on just about everything. I use EXL170's on the Bruce Thomas Profile bass.
Troy do you own any lakland basses ?
No, I don't. David does though.
Lime green im guessing,.. I've get an interest in them,. I don't know much about them, i do know it was Geezer Butlers choise,.. He had EMG in a precision lakland,.. I know he made it sound good,.. Anywho i was just wondering,.. ;)
Did he play a fretless on this track?
Yes, I believe he did. I think he played fretless on most of his recordings...he doesn't over-do it though.
@@TJH3113 Notwithstanding your cautionary PSA vid about fretless bass, I beg you to do a fretless number. Consider, perhaps, doing this tune again, on a fretless; the A/B would be enjoyable and instructive. PS: Obviously, posting an ancient vid of your own (if one exists) where you play fretless doesn't count. :) (Begging with respect).
If I had a fretless, I might do that.
he doesn't have enough subscribers!
apparently you have to be a young girl that plays an instrument to get lots of subs
I've got more than enough subscribers. If I had any more, I wouldn't be able to respond to every comment.
Pretty darned awesome 👌.... killer job on this one.
Thanks a lot Tony!
