Change - Paradise (Bass Cover)

I grew up on this song, but was inspired to cover it by a fellow KZbin bassist who did it way better than I.
From the 1981 Album "Miracles."

[@antonigeli294]

How this did not climb in the POP charts in USA. Pure injustice. An inquiry got to be opened. Walking on air to quote the producers.

[@TremaynePrice]

The way this song drove, it should have done WAY better than it did. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@rsharrieff]

You can't always rely on charts from back then. I was 11 or 12 and heard this song everyday on the radio. My aunts and uncles rocked it on casette in their cars. I'm not sure how it traveled outside of the Black community, but within the community this was a stone hit.

[@bigsteve1966]

Great playing , you were spot on i like that very little ad libbing did a great job ..Change is such a great Bass Heavy band love it such songs as "Heaven of my life" Mutural Attraction" "Paradise" thank you big guy ...keep up the funk

[@chriswarie1007]

Musique que je connais par cœur depuis 1984 !!!!! C est ...juste génial ce que tu fais m'en 🙏🤙👍 félicitations de la France 👍

[@TremaynePrice]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@keithbarrett656]

This dude is killin' it!!. Great job. I'm a white dude and this was my very favorite R&B/Soul band back in the 80's. They should have been much bigger in the States

[@TremaynePrice]

Agreed, but fortunately my mother had me wise when I was a kid. So even though I had no idea who Davide Romani was, I knew his bass playing. And thank you kindly.

[@keithbarrett656]

@@TremaynePrice you're very welcome. I was a bass player also in the 80's and this was my jams back in the day and it still hasn't got old. I now have every album they made on cd.

[@TremaynePrice]

@@keithbarrett656 I knew of Miracles & The Glow Of Love, but didn't get much chance to enjoy more of their sound until I was grown. I can't believe I missed out on "The Very Best In You" and "Hold Tight" when they were first out, I love them now.

[@carolinaking843]

This has always been my JAM. Love me some Change. You sir, are a BOSS on that bass. Massive talent bro!

[@haydnplaysgames]

One of the most important groups in music, highly underated...

[@Vejur9000]

Great remix of an incredible opening for a song. Paradise is one of Change's masterpieces,. Epic feel good music. One of the most hopeful, inspiring pop songs ever. In short, magic.

[@tracymcdowell5967]

I feel back in the 80s. Thank you. 💭🎼🔈👍

[@NicolasHinderling]

I always struggle with staying crisp and not dragging to this song… and you killed it!!

[@TremaynePrice]

Thank you kindly!

[@cameron_fairchild]

Thanks Tre, great timing, guitar in tune, and changed it up a little to make it your own. 5 stars.

[@TremaynePrice]

Thanks for the view, and for the kind, thoughtful comment.

[@rodenyhudson]

That's man, coming from you this means a lot to me, thank you for taking the time to hold this conversation and I will take everything you said and run with it

[@pamelashorter1215]

You are PLAYIN' the heck out of that guitar! It took me 9 years to find this song (81-90( because NO ONE knew what I was talking about. When i found the title, I never let it go again. Searching for another video today, I came across yours. It made me smile big-time 😀😀😎

[@TremaynePrice]

Thank you kindly! I was fortunate that my mother had the 45 when I was a kid, so I always remembered.

[@DanSouled]

Some great licks in there

[@DEEKATHY251]

I always thought Change was a part of Chic. I'm trying to learn this song on Bass as well as "Hold Tight" Great job

[@TremaynePrice]

Hold Tight is a good one, love that song. And thanks for the kind words.

[@crystalmartin8540]

Really, that bass is a joy!!!

[@TremaynePrice]

It is for that sound, even though it doesn't get much use any more. It was great for a LOT though.

[@michelleberlin4043]

Dude I've always loved this song, and always noticed the bass was awesome. And You're Right On!!!!!👍

[@SuperMusicology101]

[@TremaynePrice]

Thank you very much, Carolyn.

[@kayvancooten4657]

Ouuuuch! Searching for my fave bass covers and low and behold I keep bumping into you.❤🎶

[@TremaynePrice]

I'm glad I cover a lot that you like. 😊 I usually think people don't care much anymore about the music I listen to and cover, feel like I'm getting old.

Great cover.... Great Song

[@margix1172]

The bass player from Change is Italian as well as the creator of these incredible disco-funk songs.

[@TremaynePrice]

I know, it's still amazing to me that they recorded the instruments in Italy, and did the vocals in NYC for at least some of their songs.

[@djwhitelabel]

sick! ultimate garage classic! beautiful playing!

Sweet and fluid. I like it!

Man you think you do a bass cover on Very Best In You and Miracles by Change. I loved that group

[@TremaynePrice]

The Very Best In You, I've worked on in recent months. It's ready to record, I just have to find the time to sit down and do it. Things have been hectic lately. Thanks for the listen/comment/request.

[@trustconectdoo8094]

Hip hip hooray for the Bass guitar in Paradise CHANGE

[@doriankearney3318]

Awesome!! You would be doing us a very big favor by telling us what effects are used to make the tone

[@TremaynePrice]

This is a DAW setup I used 5 years ago, so I'm not sure aside from likely chorus and compression. Correction...I just pulled up the project file from this. It's only flanger, nothing else. Not even compression.

[@somedude2630]

STANK!

[@TremaynePrice]

I tried a little!

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

Sounds great. I wonder if they used a P on the recording. Is there chorus on yours here?

[@TremaynePrice]

Thank you kindly. I've seen pictures of Davide Romani with a P in more recent years, but never with one back then. There was probably chorus on this, this was an old DAW setup though. I think there was chorus and slight compression, but I don't remember what else. Edit: I pulled up the DAW project file for this. There was no chorus or compression...just flanger.

[@nachodoggy]

dude can you do a cover of Heaven Of My Life by Change as well?

[@TremaynePrice]

I can add it to the list. *shrug*

[@nachodoggy]

@@TremaynePrice hell yeah. you're really good at these man. keepin the funk alive

[@rodenyhudson]

What would you say where I should start to get me understanding better, I already know all the major and minor chords, and know how to watch someone and copy what they play but I know it's much more than that just watching you play

[@TremaynePrice]

I'd say once you have chords/scales, start kind of loosely playing along with songs you know pretty well...pay a lot of attention to basslines you like. Try to kind of isolate them. And by "loosely," I mean don't start like I did...try improvisation & throwing little fills in here & there. I spent probably 15+ years playing orchestral music on the trumpet before I ever touched a bass, & what it taught me, was it was imperative that I play music EXACTLY as it was written. Which, when I started playing bass, translated into "exactly as it was originally recorded." Don't put yourself in that box. Listen to a LOT of players, PLAY a lot, but don't be stuck on eXACTly what people do on recordings. Once you have a good idea of an original recording...try to find a live performance of the same song. Continue seeing what other people are doing on cover videos. Hell, go listen to people play out/live. Not telling you you have to do all of those things, or trying to dictate. Just what I think would be the most helpful. But most importantly...PLAY, and make sure you have a good sense of tempo/rhythm. Even if you f*** up, don't get discouraged. If you can play well through any key in TIME, you'll likely sound/groove better than people who have fancy "licks" but can't mesh with the drummer...or anyone else.

[@rodenyhudson]

Did you take lessons, im leaning the bass but on my own, I really don't know where to start with what I should know, I just look at bass players playing music and I copy what I see untill I get and and I use Yougician

[@TremaynePrice]

rodney hudson I think I took like two lessons at one point, which at least got me to pluck with my fingers instead of my thumb (you can see that b.s. in a couple of my oldest videos). But other than that, I was fortunate enough to have already played other instruments and at least had a general understanding.

[@rodenyhudson]

How long you been playing bass

[@TremaynePrice]

rodney hudson Tooling around with it since the mid-late 1990's. Didn't get serious about it until 2011 or 2012.

[@doylehargrave233]

Bruh is lopin….

[@bassistdc]

You can't play this style on the end of the neck with that thumb rest there.

[@caprimartin7099]

You're wonderful... I love this song. Wow... ; )
