13. Phil Collins & Bridgette Bryant / Separate Lives

My new Web site is: www.lelandskla.... The new book is there and lots of goodies in the works...
Here are the directions to my new club house if you want to come and hang. flatfiv.co/pag...

[@phillywop1]

This master owned the low frequencies of that stephen bishop classic. Bravo L.K

[@rk41gator]

One of my favorite duets of Phil's. On the video there is such a chemistry between he and Bridgette. That side look she gives him at the end is smokin'

[@Musicgutbucket]

It is such a privilege to sit watch & listen to you Mr Skar.

[@jeffthackston9572]

Thank you. I have student here in Nicaragua that is an aspiring musician. He has a real knack for the bass. He doesn’t have internet in his home, so he comes to my house, each day, by himself (because we too are practicing self isolation), knocks on my door, I have my computer ready on your daily post. I leave the room a safe enough distance. Then I watch as he is entranced by your wizardry. He quietly gets up, turns and says “gracias”, then goes back home. His life is better because of these posts. My life is better because of your music. You are a rare human soul. Thank you, Jeff

[@jeffthackston9572]

leland sklar thank you. I will. Best wishes to you as well. It’s been a tough week ... and it will probably only get tougher. Stay safe. If there was a middle finger emoji I would use it.

[@affordagurlvia]

So happy to hear how music changes life❤

[@MJKimball1]

Leland - I just realized you were playing the bass for all best recorded versions of the Separate Lives song in the past - so awesome that you share your stories and playing (so brilliant).

[@patrickbreen2226]

How do people give these videos a thumbs down. The stories, the bass run through, and THE LOVE is worthy of so many views AND thumbs up.

[@Messier87_M87]

Daryl Stuermer is one of my favorite guitarist! I always feel he never gets the recognition he deserves. Im so glad you mentioned this cause i always felt that way also. Thank you for sharing.. The story's your sharing about the music is priceless. I always felt the Phil Collins Band was compromised of some of the most talented musician's. Im so happy to see Nick Collins carrying on the legacy!

[@servicekid7453]

I think the reason Daryl’s playing works so well with Phil and Genesis is because he creates instant atmosphere and that’s such a huge part of Phil’s music

[@kennyhanes4738]

Again thank you. You are certainly doing your part for the morality of this country or even the world.

[@juststeve5542]

5:24 LMAO! Leland!!! In all seriousness though, I'm loving this series. I'm a frustrated (aka not very good) player of a 6 string twanger, and I'm just in awe at the delicate nuances in your playing which are barely noticeable in the final mix - except now I hear ever single one... Thank you.

[@Elpuma1374]

Ha ha ha, I just fricking love your honesty Lee, and that's why I'll fallow you till the end of my days. Thank you for entertaining us during these Covid times. Be well and be safe. Cheers!!

[@BackLooking]

Daryl is a master guitarist. I don´t understand why some of the fans of Genesis constantly criticize how Daryl plays the parts after Steve Hackett. Each of them have their own style and approach and both are amazing. And Daryl played some very good bass parts in Genesis concerts too.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

I agree, BackLooking. Love Daryl’s performance on the versions of “No Son of Mine” and “Jesus He Knows Me” from *The Shorts.*. I have a copy sitting around here of *The Lings* that I haven’t yet had the guts to spin. Does it come recommended?

[@mikemoran5003]

The music aside (which is incredible), you're a calming voice, Lee. I've been watching daily. You deserve our thanks.

[@aaronherbster9096]

Absolutely beautiful bass lines. And thank you for these. I have been thoroughly enjoying each and every one.

[@brettmarlar4154]

It never ceases to amaze me that you can take a simple line and just make it groove!! Even your fills are perfectly timed and just slam in that pocket! Then there's the gorgeous Dingwall you're playing!!! That is currently my dream bass!!!

[@tomshaw4534]

Great performance as usual Lee and 100% agreed about Daryl, brilliant guitarist.

[@alexr4151]

Love the creative interpretation of the intro. "When you're alone in your room...." Ha!

[@jennifercooper8590]

Separate lives is my fav!! Thanks Lee!!

[@rafchauchot]

One of my favorite bassist.

[@armandorudner8790]

Gracias!!!!! Thank you very much for these videos. I am a great admirer of yours. Don't leave it, keep it up.

[@natanielmangiwa3509]

the way u play ur bass..man..you are veryinspiring!!! u fkn enjoy it. theres nothing more than that in this world

[@julionatalense3541]

Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us. Please feel our applause everyday from São Paulo.

[@EstebanTonetti]

Lee, the way you feel the music is incredible. Thanks for this moment!!!

[@jorgekarkalius]

Lee...u are not just a bassplayer...u are a maestro playing bass ....the choice of notes.....the feeling....the absolute time.....!!!!

[@aaronmoore9055]

So awesome. Believe me, I don’t take this for granted. Thank you for doing this. Now, I just need to get my tuning peg in the mail, so I can fix my bass and play along.

[@PCKPockyi]

A true Master of a Musician has to be as equal as a human being. Thanks Lee!

[@francoisfortin9611]

Thank you for your videos , I'm watching all of them . This one is the most beautiful ballad playing I ever heard on bass .

[@ronpapi99]

one of the great things, if there is such a comment to be said during these times, was founding you channel Leland.. God bless you and the music you've done with these artists. Stay cool.

[@Steady47]

Oh so sweet. Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom. I look forward to your posts each day. :)

[@simonfraser5885]

Thanks Lee - these posts are a ray of light in this darkness. We’re so fortunate to have this opportunity to get an insight into your marvellous playing - so tasteful, perfect space and touch. And not only that, but your own humanity, humility and wise words on the current situation.

[@suprchickn7745]

Leland, you are a king of tasteful playing that I've always loved but then there is that amazing tone to top it off! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

[@MrShandydash]

Thank you maestro I look forward to these everyday now.

[@chriswalker9003]

Beautiful playing, Leland. Thank you for these videos, and for your words as well.

[@epiphonium]

How did it take me this long to find your YT channel. I've loved your musick since James Taylor, Air Supply, Graham Nash and Roger McGuinn to name a few. Seen you just a couple times live. Stay healthy and keep having fun with this great music!

[@garynelson178]

Thanks again Lee ,,,,Always look forward to your next song,,,,Hope there are many more Phil songs in the lineup !!!!!

[@pwajansen]

Hallo Mister Sklar, My name is Patrick Jansen and i just started with basgitar again at 46 jaars of adge. I love how you play the bass, you make it look zo simple. Stay safe and keep playing the bass. Best wishes form the Netherlands. 🎸🎸🎸👍👍

[@oomogoo5161]

That's beautiful, Man.

[@thecollective1584]

Ahhhhhh..... That lesson in humility we all get from time to time.... Of course, I get those lessons more often than not. That's the by-product of being a cocky git, I guess. Thank you, again and as always, for the lessons, and the years of entertainment.

[@ericwhite6598]

I say it every day and I mean it everyday, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your skill, talent, insight and humanity with us during these crazy days

[@dougmael]

Thank you so much, Lee! In these very strange and trying times, I find myself looking forward to your daily videos more and more. As a fellow bassist who has been playing almost as long as you have, I am always amazed at the perfection of the lines that you put to every song, regardless of the artist(s) that you are supporting. Always enough, but never too much - something that a lot of musicians need to learn and practice.

[@drdanonbass7978]

One of my favorite songs and basslines ever Lee - thanks so much!

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

The title “Separate Lives” is almost like a happy-accidental description of what we’re experiencing in 2020. It’s persons like you who’re reminding us about what the human spirit really amounts to. So much of that shows in what you shared with us at the beginning of this video, your dissatisfaction that the first take didn’t even record or upload. It means so much to everyone that you did it again. Even though I am more likely to say that Eric Clapton, Terry Kath, Brian May and Tom Scholz are among my favorite players, I would never deny that Daryl has also impacted me after the number of times I have listened to

[@lastjedi3473]

Great song and absoulutely perfect bass line it really fit so well in the song.

[@lynottfan4four826]

Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you.

[@Bassmint44]

Thanks Lee...more brilliant bass playing...and those bass fills...PERFECT! That's why you are who you are and we are all listening...especially bass players! Love you, Man!

[@rikconverse8726]

Loved your "interpretive signing". You're such a lovely goof!

[@stephenbishopofficial]

What a treat to hear this wonderful recording and hear your bass playing, so good. Not only that, you were funny as hell. You are so original as a human being and I’m so lucky to know you. Plus, just to hear Bridgette and Phil sound like birds, amazing singers. Bridgette, her voice sends shivers through you...Love ya back Lee! - Bish

[@phenixreturns]

A GREAT SONG BY STEPHEN BISHOP AND PHIL PLAYED WITH HIM IN 1989

[@aldoaguirre4572]

Thanks so much for this Lee. You're a great musician and such a fun person! You make a lot of people's day with these posts! Love from Chile!!

[@JS_bass]

So great...incredible taste...

[@baterasso]

Magnificent performance. Congratulations.

[@FVvocals]

Spot on Lee....My wife is a care worker. Great call about staying social distance aware. Daryl is an awesome player as are you sir. Stay safe matey

[@paulgee4697]

Your tone is amazing. Where do you like the tone controls to be set on the Dingwall and your amp? Thanks

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Lee, so great!! Thanks so much!!

[@pallina70able]

Thank sono Leland from Italy....here is a tragedy....brighten my day.

[@kennonmoen4424]

Lovely to see you again. Thanks for your persistence in seeing that we get our minimum daily requirement of Phil Collins with Lee Sklar. Stay home...stay safe...save lives.

[@GWeinerth]

Wonderful performance !!!

[@renevicentecordanobove9376]

Really amazing sir!!! I love it!!!! Congratulations!

[@paulc2108]

Thank you for making these play through videos and special thanks for going back and re-doing today's. I know how disheartening it is when you realize you wern't recording when you nail something. Please keep these video's coming. Hope you, your family, friends and neighbors have an uneventful time over the next few weeks while this plays out.

[@stephenbrown310]

Great entertainment Leland, in this troubled world we are living in we need videos like these, to ease the pain Cheers 😀👍

[@Original_Lurke_fromthe_Unknown]

You always Amaze me Lee. Keep up the good work and stay busy so you don’t get too bored. This will eventually end. Love to you and your family. Stay safe and I’ll check in with you tomorrow. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@storydon]

Every one is an inspiration. Thank you.

[@marcosfernandezrapado2648]

Thank you so much Mr Sklar for giving us a ray of light in this times of darkness. Thanks from the heart.

[@dev--null]

No worries, you are doing great, love your videos! Stay safe!!!

[@acimbobby]

That bassline is just so good the way only you seem to play it. Lovely slides and little figures coming in. On and On matey

[@HelderAlmeidaGuitar]

Watch your vídeos give me always a big smile. Thank you.

[@BungaEBiker]

Thank you Mr Sklar, Your videos are part of my daily routine now.

[@boskosdoghouse]

Lee...thank you for giving us some sanity in insane times....

[@petersteemers2047]

Well done Lee, that was beautifully played, and so was the song sung!

[@zurvey]

I just found you here on KZbin! What a great channel you've got going here! Thank you for this; I'll have to check out the rest.

[@pcmechanic40]

Take care Lee! Great song!

[@christianfournier6785]

You revealed the secret of you art in this one: musicality. Not sure there is a tutorial for that.

[@phenixreturns]

all the tutos are the worst thing ever because not from all the original artists= bad tutos on dit les vrais savent, les autres sont dans les forums, tuto en vidéo etc.

[@MarkGeelen78]

What I wonder most is what what is going on in mr. Sklar’s head when playing this. He’s so routined that there will very likely be thoughts. Memories of concerts where this had a special meaning. Or flashbacks of silly or sad things that happened, etc. Stuff we cannot imagine or think of and will never know about because we didn’t experience it on stage and on tour like he did. Also; It must have felt totally normal to the band to for example be on stage in Berlin 1990. Just doing their (extremely professional!) job. But now, many years later there must be some kind of awareness that they as a band set the benchmark for many others. And that it was a great time to be alive and touring in. The audience listening and paying attention instead of messing around with their phones, etc. Pop musicians with a resume like mr. Sklar will very likely look back on the 90’s and be thankful they were there doing it at the time. And if they don’t then at least I am, and I am sure that many, many other are with me. Thank you mr. Sklar. You have inspired this classical trumpet player to pick up the bass.

[@paulapatu3183]

Thank you Leland you are a man of great inspiration to us all. Have watch many of your video clips, keep up the good work. To you and your Whanau (family) stay well and keep safe until such time God bless from 🇳🇿NZ 🎸🎸👍👍

[@dusty3913]

Guitar players appreciate all the unsung players like Daryl. We understand it's just how the business is. We like the big names, but we know the value of a guy like Daryl or Tim Pierce, to name a couple.

[@suprchickn7745]

I believe Tim Pierce has a channel as well.

[@quickdrawmcgraw4110]

Don't worry Leland, I'm sure the first take is going to pop up on bootleg somewhere! Thank you for your kind words and your legendary bass playing.

[@brucemerryman7365]

Really enjoying your videos! Thanks for taking the time to entertain us during these times!!

[@gerryguitar]

pocket, tone and everything a bass player should be. Superb.

[@ArquestRemixes]

Right now it's become my daily habit to play bass along to you - good timezone coordination certainly helps! And I'm totally for everything you say about the current situation in the US.

[@georgegibson7397]

Holly crap - I'df never heard that before and it was stunning! Mr. Sklar, thanks.

[@professorabronsius]

An everyday treat!!! Big hug from Chile 🇨🇱👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@pedroandre7045]

Thank you frome Portugal 👌👌👌

[@rexr.s.e.3575]

Love to hear you play the bass I bought a bass 5 and a 1/2 months ago practice every day I hope and get as good as you someday

[@eliasribeiro2008]

Thank you for your music, bass of the best quality

[@servicekid7453]

I’ve loved watching these videos and I hope it gives everyone a much wider appreciation of what bass guitar adds to the music. Far too often it is cut down in the mix and it’s such a shame

[@JS-Galaxie500]

Lee, thank you so much for these videos. we watch them in the evening and they provide 15 minutes of escapism for the harsh reality of life at the moment. Your rendition of separate lives is beautiful, soulful and effortless. i went to the Dingwall website to check out the LS signature bass, what a gorgeous thing. I thought, wow that has the look of a chopped 32 ford coup...and lo and behold Mr Sklar is also a car guy..!! Superb musician, nice guy and a hot rodder.....Mr Sklar need to be protected for future generations..! So from the UK, to one of the greatest bass players (and without question the greatest beard..) stay safe Lee and carry on doing what you're doing. it does make a difference to peoples lives at the moment. Jon

[@BassMusicianMagazine]

Hey Lee, Thanks for sharing your music and insights. Your efforts make it a little easier to stay inside and your comments make us smile. We have been sharing forward on Bass Musician Magazine to help reach the whole community. Cheers!

[@dmlevitt]

the wanking hand gesture caught me off guard. so hilarious. I nearly fell out of my chair. beautiful song. thanks lee.

[@BubbaA004]

My favorite version of this is on KZbin. It's a live version with Amy Keys. She is brilliant. Have you ever done work with her as a solo artist?

[@0HARE]

Thanks for another good ‘un. Rock On

[@nicktardifbass7]

SUCH finesse! Tasty fills to boot!

[@pearcetoney007]

Absolutely amazing dude!!!

[@DabsDad]

Sustain for days. Fantastic!

[@kendebeer6080]

Thank you for the great song and your performance is stunning!

[@davclars7450]

I wonder if you remember of each concert you've played. And most of all, you know each notes to play, it's impressive.

[@tonylewis472]

Thanks Lee stay safe

[@bruubass]

Great sound! what equipment, eq and pedals you use? Can you make a review?

[@uruguaysub]

Excelent!! In the next video could you please explain the chord progession...and wich intervals are you using?

[@Aleiuta75]

I love Leland, you are THE BASSIST

[@rcoveyduc]

Thanks again Leland. Nothing worse than a hot take that doesn't get recorded!
