Lido Shuffle Bass Cover

[@PutDownTheBunny]

It's amazing how highlighting a bass line can resurrect a song from the 70s and make it so relevant. Thank You!

[@TJH3113]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!

[@myrealname7655]

Simply some of the best bass covers on KZbin.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. That was very nice of you to say.

[@ognir66]

That's Jeff Porcaro(RIP) laying down That signature groove and feel on drums. Later to go on to Toto.

[@TJH3113]

Yep, a master of his craft.

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

That guy was tight

[@markmm1066]

I think what I like best about this video (besides an awesome song with a phenomenal bass line) is how much fun you seem to be having.

[@TJH3113]

I really did enjoy this one. Thanks for noticing.

[@steelydan3263]

Agreed

[@briankilroy2860]

I can't tell you how many times i watched this video. I don't play the bass, but I find myself "air bassing" quite a bit. I love your content. What a gift you provide to aspiring bass players in search of precision. You have a gift! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks for the kind words, Brian!

[@joewest6182]

Thanks to you Sir, I learned that song in 14 minutes. Thank you immensely! You are still my "Go To" guy for a quick, accurate lesson. Cheers!

[@TJH3113]

That's great to hear! I'm glad it was helpful. Take care, Joe!

[@thumbpickfingers]

I always thought it sounded like an Elton John tune. You put a lot of soul into that bass line; perfection.

[@TJH3113]

I can hear that. What soul? Thanks.

[@arcoins]

Was listening to the Silk Degrees album, and I knew you had played We're All Alone. But I found this too :) Great job as usual, Troy!

[@TJH3113]

Awesome! Thanks a lot.

[@Cfirob73]

Troy, i think that's the most I've seen you get into a song. i can tell you really enjoy it because you rarely sing and here you did! i love that song and thanks for bringing joy to my day, once again!

[@windk100]

Troy must also enjoy Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley" as he sung on part of that one too. As Robert said, thank you for bringing your joy into our days!!!

[@jasoncannon1141]

This guy is well into this song ,great cover

[@TJH3113]

It's possible.

[@davidhowse6946]

62 two years old, gonna retire at the end of the year. Gonna learn bass. Definitely gonna have to learn this one . Awesome job, thanks for sharing, stay safe.

[@TJH3113]

Congratulations! I hope that you derive as much satisfaction from playing as I have/do. It's going to be frustrating at times, but that's where the satisfaction comes from - playing through the frustration and completing the song. Best wishes and be well.

[@pattyb12182]

I remember this song quite well. I wasn't a teenager yet. Thank you for that wonderful playing. I remember listening to the bass on this song. I saw you singing and it looked like you were having a great time! I was singing too. Keep up the awesome work!

[@TJH3113]

Great song, isn't it? Thank you very much.

[@TheFratHouse69]

God I love that bass. Lido shuffle is always fun to play on bass. From the looks of it, you enjoy playing it as well.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@alexr4151]

Terrific rendition, Troy! I love the sing along bits.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@chiasson65]

Funny how a song I haven't heard for 30 yrs can come back to me in a heartbeat.......lyric wise.....I was singing along bro.... Great cover as per usual T-Roy......again, tone is in the fingers..... Cheers, K-roc

[@TJH3113]

That's one of the great things about music, isn't it? Thanks so much.

[@mark-dietz]

Ive been jamming along with you. I like that you had your bass prominent in the mix and I could play along. Thats fun stuff. Great playing btw!

[@TJH3113]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@marccolon5458]

Nice work. That's always been a favorite of mine to play as well. Jeff Porcaro's ghost notes on the snare are just so good. You're right, David Hungate did play a P Bass with a pick on this one.

[@kennet7837]

I didn't know Toto band members played on this one. Learn something new every day! :D

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I imagine it might be a touch easier to get that "shuffle" thing going with a pick, but I could be wrong. I didn't know that ghost notes could be played on a snare, I'll have to take a closer listen to it. I had a strong idea that it was a picked P-Bass but figured that someone would know better than myself.

[@TJH3113]

I hear (or don't hear) the ghost notes. I don't call them "ghost notes", I call them the things that screw up my timing.

[@marccolon5458]

TJH3113 Jeff's ghost notes on the snare happen just before + after he hits the backbeat...almost sounds like an echo, but it's all him. He was the king of shuffles. I play 99% of the time with my fingers, but this one just feels/sounds great with a pick. Especially on a Precision. Ah, just read that you heard (or didn't hear) them. Funny, I never consider them something to screw up my time, since the snare is still played where it should be. Just such a great feel, in my opinion.

[@sonicfrogdotnet]

I believe David Paich co-wrote it too. He played keys.

[@marcoiacobuzio7054]

Yeah thanks for the reply Troy.Boz was in the original lineup in 1966--67 on second guitar along with Miller but he was only there for one or two albums.I believe the first Miller album was "children of the future" in '67

[@TJH3113]

My pleasure. Interesting, I'll have to check it out.

[@miknrene]

LOVED IT! I've been listening to this song for as long as I can remember (I'm pretty sure my older sisters played it on their AM radios) and I never noticed the awesome bass part before. Nice job!

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Excellent cover my good dude. Such a rockin' tune. Killer bass on this one. To be honest, I'm a huge Jeff Porcaro fan so anything with him swinging sticks is good by me. 🤘🤘

[@PatrickHarveyMusic]

what a brilliantly written song. Thanks for the bass cover!

[@TJH3113]

I think so too. Thanks a lot!

[@SteveSam66]

Great Cover.. The tone on the Guild is killer !!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I'm loving these basses.

[@ZeroMod]

Ah, another convert.....

[@bengrimes9386]

man... that tone is killer

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

Agreed...KILLER tone. I have a DeArmond Pilot with some Bartolini's in it. Import Guild, but still in my top 3 basses. What model is that? And what amp are you using??

[@DM-tc3gz]

I enjoy how you put some of your own swing and flair into the song. I'm a drummer, I play the same sort of way. I keep things close to the original, but add my own touches a lot of the time.

[@TJH3113]

Thank you, but I really don't add anything intentionally. This is just as close as I can get to mimicking what I'm hearing on the recording.

[@DM-tc3gz]

@@TJH3113 You are being modest. You play the way you are feeling the groove. It may not be intentional, but it's definitely felt by you, which is observable on your recordings....of which I've watched many. You stick very close to the original, but you do put in your own little licks here and there. It's how I play most songs I'm trying to mimic. I'm a lifelong drummer, but bass is what I focus upon in just about every song, more-so than the drums. I enjoy your playing very much. You are solid. As a drummer, it'd be a joy to be in a band with you.

[@gerrymessier8781]

Thanks! I watch others do this and couldn't make heads or tails outta it. Like watching you because your positioning is easier to follow. Keep up the good videos!

[@TJH3113]

Glad I could help!

[@patrickgarrett9866]

I remember my brother playing this on 8 TRACK back in the day. They just don't write them like this anymore. LOL Nice cover AND nice bass choice! ...you sound good on those Guilds.

[@kayak1965]

First song I ever learned on guitar.... 1976 I was 11 Good Stuff

[@TJH3113]

Very cool. Thanks.

[@belindarosenheim2322]

I'm 52 and just started learning it. Can't decide between bass and guitar. Both?

[@gingerrogers3541]

Watching you play this just makes me happy! I’m so glad I found your channel. Better late than never.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TJH3113]

That's great to hear. Thanks.

[@jamesdavis5096]

big fan here and i mean this with all respect. I have been a fan for long time, for your accuracy, and to TRULY appreciated this, one must turn the video off, and JUST LISTEN to what you are doing; one can hear MORE detail, and all the subtle nuances you detect that these pros do, which makes all the difference in the world.

[@TJH3113]

Thank you for the generous compliment.

[@radcam69]

Nice Troy. Hope you are well. Hungate would be proud.

[@TJH3113]

Thank you very much. You think?

[@jacoboy99]

Excellent cover! And I love that bass.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot...me too!

[@jacoboy99]

TJH3113 so how many basses do you have on hand?

[@ZeroMod]

Who could down-vote this? SHOW yourself!

[@grgoldner]

John Entwistle.

[@lilee45]

Silk Degrees came out in 1976? I remember it like it was yesterday. Man, I feel old.

[@TJH3113]

Yeah, they don't write like that anymore.

[@jmcrae825]

Great choice. Ive always loved that tune. Your Guild sounds awesome as usual. Keep the great videos coming please. Really enjoying them!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

[@crs290]

I always thought that the bass line in Lido was as big a deal as Porcaro's drumming. Thanks for the video! Also, I recognize several of the masks behind you from Spencer's Gifts (from when they still sold them back in the 70's).

[@TJH3113]

The bass and drums work so well together in this one, don't they? You are most welcome. As always, it was my pleasure. Actually, most of the masks are from a small, one-man show - Jeff Keim/DeathStudios and his masks have never been sold in stores.

[@antk274]

Great cover. Song reminds me of when I was getting into my teens. I loved this tune!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@cayenneman08]

Love that song!! And great job!!!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@jonchilds1637]

Some things are just great fun to play!! I get a similar thing on guitar - some songs have what I call 'big, six-string chords you play from your elbow' - and I'm thinking this is an example of the bass equivalent!

[@TJH3113]

Yes!

[@ack1961]

Another great job on another favorite of mine to play. So infectious and groovy!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot. I agree.

[@stevefaulkner1544]

Its a great anthem, well played...

[@TJH3113]

It is, isn't it? Thank you.

[@christophervaca7116]

great rendition.

[@TJH3113]

Thank you.

[@marcoiacobuzio7054]

Nice job Troy I remember many many years ago (when I was learning to play bass my teacher brought me this song to learn even though I'm a metal guy this was a fun song to play. really catchy took me awhile to get it down right but it was worth it and yes I played it with a pick with the up and down strokes in the beginning it's a shame Boz didn't make it even bigger coming out of the Steve Miller band he had alot of raw talent

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I was wondering if getting the "shuffle" feel would be easier playing with a pick or not. I did not know that he came out of Steve Miller's band. I'll have to look that up. What did he do?

[@mimoochodom2684]

You've just made me feel very happy. A+++

[@TJH3113]

I'm very happy to hear that! Thanks and take care.

Thanks John!

[@belindarosenheim2322]

My fingers are fried already and I just found your tutorial. Now what??!!

[@TJH3113]

Play lightly and quietly. Work on getting your brain and your hands to cooperate and focus less on beating on the bass and getting a great sound. Maybe?

[@andyhinds542]

Great stuff!

[@TJH3113]

Awesome finger work brother, I wish I could nail these songs without having to use a pick myself...

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I always say, "If I could play with a pick, I would."

Boz kicked some major ass in the 70's

[@TJH3113]

He sure did and he's still out there.

It is, isn't it?

@@TJH3113 And you executed it perfectly

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Troy. I love this cover. But I have a request. Lowdown by Boz. David Hungate played bass on that track, And Porcaro on drums of course, The reason I picked up sticks.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot. I'll check it out.

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

TJH3113 Right on. Thanks Troy. Most appreciated. ✌😎

[@my2centsiz3]

Damn! but in a good way. Jazz Rock is great. Im a Steely Dan fan, is there any songs that they perform where the bass is prevalent? I dont have the ear to hear it especially with so many other sounds they use.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I like Steely Dan as well and most of their songs have really good bass lines. I've done a few covers by them and Donald Fagen. You could try searching TJH3113 and Steely Dan on KZbin to find them.

[@my2centsiz3]

Thanks that was great. Here I am learning on yousician following a bouncing ball using a pick. And you could record on any soundtrack for any genre. You are the man!

Hello. No, I haven't done anything by them. Do you have a suggestion? Funny you commented on the Boz video, we're going to see him tomorrow night.

[@stevefaulkner1544]

Hi Troy ...Lowdown by Boz...I can see its a bit simple looking but just wanted to get your feel on it..Cheers

[@zxccxz164]

great playing....none bass related....do you have to clean all the masks??? if so how often? how long does it take?

[@TJH3113]

Thank you. I do have to clean them, but it doesn’t happen as often as it should. It’s really just a matter of dusting them off. We have a pretty good system. I take the screen out of the window and throw the masks down to someone on the deck wielding a leaf blower. They blow them off, throw them back up, and I put them back in place.

WHATS THE HARDEST SONG TO PLAY AND WHATS THE EASIEST ???

[@TJH3113]

I try my best not to use those terms, "hard" or "easy", as it's going to vary from person to person.

[@sonicfrogdotnet]

I wrote a song with one bass note in it. THAT'S the easiest for me!!!... Though I'll still find a way to screw it up!!! :-D

Lighter strings than I normally use but I’ll give them a try after hearing yours.

[@ps150-6]

Do you use any effects?

[@TJH3113]

Not usually, but for most of my videos, the bass is going through one SansAmp pedal or another.

Define "Boz"

[@TJH3113]

Words escape me.

[@kennet7837]

Just curious, Troy: Do you prefer steel or nickelwound strings?

[@TJH3113]

I guess, Nickel, but only because I stumbled upon them. And the fact that they are a bit easier on the frets isn't a bad thing. I've tried Roto-sounds a couple of times and never liked how they sounded, and just as importantly, how they felt.

[@stevefaulkner1544]

Trying to buy you 3 cups of coffee but it wont let me !!!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks for the heads-up Steve. I checked with "Buy Me a Coffee" and they said they had parted ways with PayPal, so I tried going through their suggested vendor, Stripe. I would have pulled the plug on the whole thing, but I put a bit of time into putting the link into a bunch of my most popular videos. If this doesn't flow well, I'll just go back and remove it.
