Pino Palladino's Bass on "Who Did You Think I Was" by John Mayer Trio | Reverb Bass Walk of the Week

[@Vsko478]

Until now, all these bass walk of the week were from really good bass players, but you are completely ignoring the tone of these basslines, which are a great part of the basslines themselves

[@jaredmatthews9403]

Best writing of Pino's, imho. Why you playin a jazz bass though?

[@pabloguerrafuster]

jared matthews ikr

[@joelee1894]

jared matthews if he had played a p bass would that change the lick? I play it on a Stingray but the notes are the same.

[@paddydaddyo]

And a P-Bass on the Family Man video ... 🤦‍♂️

[@kingdeedee]

@@joelee1894 It doesn't change the lick at all but he works at Reverb so we know he has a P bass (or 10) sitting around there somewhere haha

[@AaraliRam]

I see you kept the funk inhibitors on your bass.

[@Kevtron9000]

Best segment ever

[@TheTapMusic]

Great lesson and breakdown, although at 1:22, the tab and notation are incorrect, or at least they don't agree with what's being played. From the "And" of beat three in the first measure, should be A to C to A (Or 12 on the A string to 10 on the D string) instead of the G to A to G as shown. If you're on a Trio kick, you guys should absolutely break down the first few of bars of Good Love Is On The Way. Super interesting bassline that outlines some more complex harmonic tensions, and very much in Pinos style.

"motivicly." nice. Love Pino's Trio/JM work

[@davidhammers9708]

Pino’s work with D’Angelo next?

[@Danny6464]

Dave Hammers Check older videos, has already been covered.

[@davidhammers9708]

ah, didn't realize, thanks!

[@tequilamockingbird921]

More like A7.. not a minor

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

Tune is major. Centered around A7

[@konstapelwalander]

Whole song is in A major, should be 11th fret on D string in riff 2 to get that major feel or it will break towards John's sliding up on 6th fret on G on the guitar...

[@pablofichaje]

That jazz bass sound on Pino's line

[@EddieG1888]

Sorry, but that second riff is all wrong. It slides up to and starts on the 3rd of the A (11th fret on the D string), ends on the same note before Pino hits the low A again, and is basically a little run in A mixolydian.

[@bigbri7519]

Close.

[@josephkaplan8287]

NOT THE JAZZ BASS WITH ROUNDS TO PLAY PINO WHAT

[@altrogeruvah]

Great tone ~

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

Would have preferred his NIN stuff

[@shishkabobmiller2693]

....what version are you listening to? The verse riff isnt even right let alone the licks.

[@boysisig8260]

It's all soundin zingy with that j bass though

[@ottofurst4063]

Listen to the original records, folks, you will learn more that way.

[@georgecookonbass]

If I gloss over the terrible sound and poor execution in general, I thought I'd point out that the first riff isn't even evident in the most famous version of this song. Of all the amazing Pino fills to choose from this guy... made one up?

[@cedenoanthony45]

Wrong Bass bro. Pino plays a P Bass, not a Jazz Bass

[@juno980]

didnt know the notes changed on a p bass. fascinating.

[@iblindsamurai2677]

Aleks wrong bass doesn’t equate to wrong notes.
