One of the greatest rock bass players in my opinion

[@marcusdottlinger1332]

The greatest!

[@tonyrun5802]

@@marcusdottlinger1332 nope, that's John Entwistle. Still a gigantic bassist and musician, but Entwistle's got a more unique and innovative style.

[@Farewelltokingz]

He also played some mean keyboards.

[@travisstafford397]

How about a vid on James Jamerson? I know you usually feature rock players but all us rockers owe a debt to Motown

[@jaycliche8778]

That's RIGHT man!!!! your right Travis Stafford do one on Him!! Fuck that Cliff Williams shit!!

[@PuffPastryHangman83]

JPJ did in fact list James Jamerson as one of his biggest influences

[@tomasvanecek8626]

@@PuffPastryHangman83 Right on... when they needed that Motown sound in London studios in 60s, JPJ was THE man :)) also paul McC was raised on Jamerson... the bid daddy of all of them 🤩

[@NicleT]

Or Carol Kaye for a change.

[@StratsRUs]

The sound of THAT band is evergreen and phenomenal.

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

of all the led zep members, jpj is the one that i like best. he made good stuff even after led zep was over.

[@Pierfra007]

not only good stuff, also inovative and interesting stuff, which is the best part of him. always thinking "new", unlike the other members.

This is a great analysis! You can hear what he does, like it, but not know why. Now we know why 😊

[@michaelroberts5801]

JPJ is great!

[@PuffPastryHangman83]

I had an issue of Bassist magazine from the late 90's (I've since found out was September 1999), in which the main article was an interview was with JPJ. I remember his comment on the use of a pick, particularly. He stated that he started using a pick, live, in order to cut through the mix and be able to hear himself over Bonham. It wasn't stated, but I presume this must have happend dring the touring of Led Zeppelin I; as by Led Zeppelin II he was recording with a pick in the studio - Whole Lotta Love & Heartbreaker, prime examples; as described in this video. In the same interview he also said that Heartbreaker was the only Led Zeppelin tune in their catalogue, that he used an effect on; in the form of a leslie cabinet on the recording.

[@tomasvanecek8626]

On Zep II at least half of the numbers was played w/o pick... get your facts/ears straight :)

[@kevinhughes9200]

Since I first started playing bass 31 years ago, he's always been one of my main influences. His playing style has always been impeccable.

[@russbeard3665]

JPJ is the definition of a musician. Great vid!

[@TheBeatBrothersBand]

Great video, John Paul Jones is truly on of the all-time greatest!

[@brianwarner308]

for Immigrant Song….When he is playing those ascending runs for the chorus, the very last one on the "C" Chord he doesn't play a mixolydian he creates a hybrid scale to match the number of beats in the song (which is what REALLY shows his musical genius in my opinion) so the resulting C scale ends up being C D E F G A A# B C…so he plays mixolydian 2X then does that hybrid scale once….super cool video btw!!

[@marcusdottlinger1332]

Best bass player ever! I will love this video to death! Jonesy rules!

[@doczodzilla]

Fuck yeah, your videos always give me a different style or technique and has been helpful for inspiration and history for a novice bassist

[@travisstafford397]

I always learn something from your videos. Even if they feature someone I’m not particularly into I watch and learn something to improve my playing

[@stapfen]

I would love to see an episode on Joe Lally by Fugazi. The rhythm section really held the band together and they never got away from each other. They again play together in Messthetics!

[@joshuajimenez8577]

Thank you so much! I've been asking for JPJ consistently so I'm very greatful. He is my biggest influence.

[@federicovidal1156]

Paul your videos and the forensic investigation you do about each player is outstanding !!!! 👏👏👏 Keep the good work and I'm always looking forward for the next one

[@frankperricone2065]

My favorite bass player, it is why I switched from guitar to bass at an early age.When I first heard the Lemon song,and the whole Led Zeppelin ll album I did not want to be Jimmy Page,I wanted to be JOHN PAUL JONES!!!

[@beatlesrgear]

The bass work on Lemon Song is some of the greatest bass playing anyone has ever done on a bass! Jonesy absolutely touches and electrifies my soul when I hear this song. Infreakingcredible!!😮🤩

[@chasecopeland5530]

Another great video. Would love a video about Leon Wilkeson of Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@peterthegreat996]

Every time i watch one if these presentations about anything Led Zeppelin, I have to listen to lots of Led Zeppelin afterwards.

[@ognjenmilenkovic3050]

Damn, I didn't know he knew his instrument that well. Amazing player

[@koba5152]

You should do a video on roger glover

[@johnnyevangelista4087]

O maior baixista da história do Rock !!!!!

[@TheXConor]

The Chorus of Immigrant song is actually 2x A Mixolydian, 2x B Mixolydian, 2x C Mixolydian, and a final run of C Mixolydian with an added 7 right before the last note C. It's hard to hear unless you boost the bass or cut treble on the track.

[@mehmetcelal5358]

[@rudymila4325]

Dude frank Bello would be awesome he's sound its like if he play With a pick but he use the fingers

[@JaQuicker]

These videos have shown me how much my favorite players have influenced my own playing (esp Jones, Deacon, Butler, McKagan). Could you do Mike Mills from REM? He does a great job filling sonic space to let Peter do his thing while harmonizing Michael's melodies well. Thanks for the vids!

[@StratsRUs]

Great seeing an REM and Zep fan.

[@gtate135]

Well done

[@remnantsofasoundblast]

Nobody had such a melodic style while holding it all down. The band went mad and he kept the foundation rolling.

[@1965JB]

I spent many late hours trying to imitate JPJ. Never succeeded but it was worth it.

[@GiovanniGugliantini]

I just realized that, although I knew JPJ quite late (was a Jaco and Steve Harris and John Entwistle fan) I _always_ used all this stuff on my playing. Except playing on the neck, I'm a bridge animal.

[@bookbm]

JPJ could play on any Motown record. Rhythm and soul for days

[@oniricodosfatos8286]

[@ghjkldss8421]

Lots of what u showed was just the bass following the guitar I agree that John Paul Jones is fantastic but trying to say that some of his stuff is entirely him isn’t right lots of the sound is following the guitar and the occasional run almost acting as a fill

[@__tof____3304]

Andy rourke would be cool

[@tomasvanecek8626]

You plainly dont understand what JPJs playing was all about, you are just stuck with his choice of notes to play.. not important at all.. Jones, as the humble disciple of James Jamerson (like McCartney was) could keep the groove like very few, and with Bonham they could soo magically play behind the beat.. true masters of that. THAT was it, what made Zep so great.
