John H Legend Thanks for watching and subscribing bro! I also have an email list, which is really the best way to be in the loop when I have new videos. If you'd like to be included send me your email address or go to www.brandonmeeksmusic.com/join and I'll give you some free music. Thanks again!
Brandon Meeks Thanks for the prompt reply. I've joined your mailing list. Do you by any chance give bass lessons? I'd like to get my bass playing together. It's been a while since I got inspired by a bass player. And you my friend inspired me to get my Circa 1970 Fender Jazz bass out of its case. I'm living overseas though. Maybe some Skype lessons or private video lessons, whatever you can fit into your schedule. I would like to study with you. Let me know if you're interested. #respect, John H Legend
John H Legend Hey John sorry for the delayed reply. I've been away from UA-cam for a little while so I could develop my website a bit more. I'm trying to figure out a way to help you out. I'm kind of unable to give lessons consistently but I think if we keep in touch I can answer questions you have or give you some fundamentals. Please let me know if there is something specific about the bass that you want to learn. Thanks!
In the last 20 years there are 2 songs that stand out. "YOU SAVED ME" Gary Clark Jr "CHARADE" D'Angelo and they both have the same feel, it is called PARADE 1986 - Prince both songs are MASTERPIECES!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Carlo! Thanks for checking out this video and subscribing. I really appreciate it. I'll be posting some clips from a recent show I did for the next couple of weeks and then I'll be making more covers.
I turn my neck pick up all the way and blend in a smidge of bridge pickup. I also boosted my low end around 94k just a little. Everything else is flat. Glad you like the way it sounds man!
Yeah man I love Thundercat! He's awesome. I first heard about him in 2004 when I met his brother Ronald Bruner at a Kenny Garrett concert in Indianapolis. They had a band called Young Jazz Giants. ua-cam.com/play/PLZbaLHPYlMPoYBiY0_yMEOWmNF55E3hIC.html

nice dude! I'd love to hear some more Black Messiah bass covers! That would be rad as hell
Right on! Everyone seems to like them so I gotta give the people what they want. Lol. Besides D'Angelo always has the hottest bass lines in his music!

What is btw your view on musicians like Thundercat? I think he's awesome aswell

Brandon Meeks wow Thundercat seems to be playing every genre possible... I do gotta love some jazz indeed
Yeah he's a pretty versatile musician for certain.
Sweet!! I've done a drum cover to this song actually, and I'll be putting up some stuff soon from my weekly gigs. Check out my page.
