The Slip - Cowboy Up (Loop)

There a bunch of variations, and the actual acoustic loop is tough to pick out specific notes, so I just used one of the end loops Brad plays live.

Straight, No Chaser - Marc Friedman (The Slip) Bass Solo

This solo is awesome. It's from a 1/31/98 show. Check out The Slip if you haven't and enjoy the vid.

Open Your Eyes You Can Fly Bass Solo - Steve Swallow

I didn't come to realize Steve Swallow's genius until after learning this solo. His ability to "solo" whilst keeping a solid bass background is unparalleled. Anyway, the video that the solo if off of can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNo1VqARE7Y. I didn't necessarily dig the tone of my bass in this solo but upon further listens, I found it was a good way to distinguish myself from Swallow's playing. Enjoy

The Slip-If One Of Us Should Fall (Bass Solo)

Just a quick little solo I learned on this rainy day in Austin. This version is off the album Eisenhower, but the song has been featured in past albums such as Alivelectric. If you haven't checked them out I highly recommend them. Enjoy

The Stroll Patrol - Ideofunk

Some Videos

The Stroll Patrol

This is a group that gets together every November for the holiday stroll that occurs every year in our hometown. We're usually home from college for turkey day, so we run a few tunes and head out into the cold. Yeah, about that... It's fucking cold. I don't know how many of you reading this (if any actually are) have played outside in the snow, but let me tell you... it fucking blows. Historically, we've gotten about a 3-4 hour slot to play in front of a little mom and pop store (which is awesome), but it's really cold. After maybe a song or two, your fingers will either go numb or be warmed up enough that it's manageable. Anyhow, here are a few clips I have of us playing.

Me - Guitar

Sean Morris - Bass

Andrew Cote - Drums

Ideofunk (Scofield)

P.S. apparently I can only upload one video per post so I'll continue this chain of videos in multiple posts.

The Slip- Yellow Medicine (bass solo)

Learned this solo last week. If you haven't heard of The Slip, you definitely need to check them out. Marc Friedman is the bass player for them and part of his genius can be seen in this solo. Hope you guys can dig. Enjoy

Incubus Summer Romance Sax Solo on Bass

After much frustration, I was finally able to get a decent take of the sax solo in Summer Romance (Anti Gravity Love Song) by Incubus. Learned this solo a little while ago. Dig it
