TheAiket when you say “scene” do you mean “played live” or “played on video”? I don’t think the timing is off due to a technological issue (like the audio of this not syncing with the video component.) It’s a fast bass line and playing along to something like this on little speakers where he can’t hear the beat really clearly, it does make sense Leland would be behind a few times without other cues to work from like other musicians or a click track. But mostly I think he might have just been a bit out of practice - it’s a song that requires a fair bit of precision, especially since the original bass line was played on a synthesiser. As I said, no disrespect to Leland but understand why he said “sloppy”, especially given he’s such a precise player most of the time.
@sundayarvo4 жыл бұрын
For comparison, watch some Of Leland’s vids from this series where he’s tighter, or Guy Pratt who’s doing similar recaps of his classic bass lines, but a bit more high tech (all chances Guy is doing some post processing on his tracks, but his finger work is pretty damn tight on the vids)

It's a combo of both, he describes it a bit before the playthrough. There is an envelope of some kind going on. I'm curious to how it works, or if I misunderstood. I'm thinking the bass is with the synth, but the attack and decay of the real bass is synced up with the synth? I'm a little lost too 😂 But there is something clever going on. I love this bass line so much. It's just extreme groove/ funk /80s to me.
@ekojar30474 ай бұрын
Ah ha! I got it, he says right here 4:33 No pun intended, but Basscally 😂 OK for real. There is a synth bass track being played, BUT it's silent if his bass isn't playing a note. He HAS to play the punches, and they have to be with the notes of the synth bass in the song of course. So, think about it as a mute button, but you can play with the mute button along with the synth bass track. I knew it was something clever! Haha I love it. And im paraphrasing, but he even says that "this is a LIVE band,"so anything on the albums, needs to be live-able. No cheating aloud. some artist don't have integrity, so they just play a digital file loud and collect a check. What he us doing here, is the most AUTHENTIC way to do it if you ask me. Because if he doesn't hit a note on the bass, the synth part doesn't make a peep. It still has to be played live.

I credit this song and seeing you play it live during the Seriously tour back in 1990 for making me a bass player today! Back then I was a gigless keyboard player who payed little attention to the bass guitar, but you had such a presence on stage and then you started belting out those bass lines in Sussudio and I was blown away! I started paying much closer attention to the bass guitar after that moment, eventually acquired a cheap Yamaha bass, two weeks later played it for a church worship set and was was approached afterwards by a guy that liked my playing and asked me to audition for his band. Didn't take long before people forgot I could play keys, but that's okay I've had tons of fun over the past 30 years as a bass player. You have literally changed my life! Thank you Mr. Sklar!

When I was learning how to play bass in the late 80s and early 90s, I was obsessed with Leland Sklar. Saw him on a Phil Collin’s tour around that period (“But Seriously”). Just thought his bass playing was perfect for the song. Always in the groove, and never taking away from the vocals and song….which is the thing that directly communicates to the audience. The audience doesn’t want to “think” about the bass. They want to feel it. It’s usually better when it’s a support network for the melody. Whenever bass players start slapping too much, or muddying up the rhythm and groove, or playing too many notes,….I always think “this song needs Leland Sklar.” 😂 This bass line is perfect. When it drops into that four-on-the-floor groove for the chorus, it’s game over. If he played anything more complicated than that, it wouldn’t shake the dance floor as hard.

You got that right Cristian. Jeff Hueston of Bohemian Knuckleboogie is another one. I used to call him my Gandolf the Wizard. Jeff played bass in jazz bands when we met and later taught me blues/rock.

That is unreal! Leland Sklar is one hardcore-ass player to pull off a bass run like that for an entire song. I had to see it for myself, but there he is playing that unearthly bass part. Bravo and sick!

15:32 when you prune the azaleas have a bucket with hydrogen peroxide to dip your pruning shears in between plants. This will not only prevent the spread of disease but also speed the healing Of the plants from pruning. My Grandfather ran an azalea nursery and developed azaleas at the national agricultural research center in Beltsville MD. He did this.

No jacket required came out when I was young (8 years old), but so many song on this album were go-to listens for me that this album is integrated with all my fond memories of my youth. This video popped up in my feed, so I watched it again and I still love it. The blue on that bass is gorgeous. Love it.

Please forgive my ignorance in this comment... I grew up listening to Phil Collins in the car (my Dad would rotate through Phil Collins, Queen, Elton John and other greats). I decided that I'd listen to Phil again today and when Sussudio came on, I thought "Wow that band is good, listen to that BASS". I clicked on a few videos after Sussudio, some covers, and also this man holding a bass with an amazing beard, you. This is where the ignorance comes in, as I learnt you were the bassist on the track, and have a ridiculously huge body of work, and I'd not heard of you before (as I don't really know many bassists!) Great video, great playing and thanks for sharing your experiences.

What a privilege to see the master at work! I remember back when I was around 5 or 6 years old around 1983 when I first saw Leland playing with Phil and was just mesmerised by his crazy white beard. I've been a fan ever since.
