Stuart, that really is excellent. Great sound and great tutorial. An excellent Level 42 song to examine would be from the live album, A Physical Presence, and it's the extended version of Love Games, specifically the solo section at the beginning which borrows heavily from Dune Tune but gets crazy pretty quickly.

I think the classic Mr. Pink groove should have a lesson :) I probably won't be able to play it but well, is worth a try haha

Fantastic Stuart! Ever thought of explaining the solo on L42 track ‘People’? - Ridiculously fast licks but melodic as well. Cheers

Hi John, thanks for the nice comment! I am planning a series of video courses on the site that will cover my favourite bass solos. 'People' will definitely be covered at some point, as will some of MK's live solos such as 'Foundation & Empire' and 'Hot Water'. In the meantime, if you're looking for a transcription of 'People', it's in this book: www.basslinepublishing.com/product/the-level-42-bass-book-volume-2/
