Roger Glover Masterclass

[@M.Khachatrian36]

Roger is so humble, he keeps saying “I’m a simple bass player “, but there’s NOTHING simple about any of his bass lines: they are complete masterpieces and he’s a Master Bass Player, his bass parts in any of DP songs are the most important parts and so articulate, powerful and complex! …He’s a true “architect of bass lines”, by all means! In fact, you cannot add or subtract even one single note out of his baselines, in any song: they are absolute perfection to the teeth!! And I’m saying this as bass player for over 4 decades!! Roger is an absolutely genius bassist who has influenced countless rock bassists thru generations!!!

[@strawlegalmanfiction4237]

Rodger Glover is the coolest and humble man...much respect.

[@rogerleemeyzindi2979]

Roger NOT Rodger!

[@JustBozzie]

I just LOVE this man. He is to me the epitome of what a TRUE rock or any other kind of musician should be like: talented, modest and easygoing, easy to talk to and play with and work with. Here's to you Roger, after all these years you still haven't changed! I been listening to Purple since the late 80's and I always dug Roger's sound. When we "played Purple", I always wanted to be him...and sometimes Ritchie. :)

[@cyprescrow]

Well said. And very true.

[@martianshoes]

A charming and to repeat what others have said...humble man. A vegan I hear. Anyone that could endure Blackmore in Purple then Rainbow then Purple again...and keep his sanity... Add to that I always thought that he had a great tone....either on the Rickenbacker or the Vigier...both of which have a tone AND appearance that so rock and roll...Glover and Hunt Sales turned me on to the Vigier...no studio is complete without either...

[@CountBeetle]

I concur, yet there's a mustard yellows in my mustache that blights my grave with a certain stain of outright undeath, not unlike the sauce of a sardine can packed with an aeons worth of sauce and such said poverty. This being said, I invite you to our channel as I double as our own agent as well as....

​@@cyprescrow tu étais là mec ?

[@zeppo20]

Brilliant musician and wise man.

[@purpledude603]

I love the jolly Roger. The coolest man in the land. I have met Roger Glover like 3 times and he was always friendly and down to earth( reminds me of an album). Once I met him after a Purple show and they talked and signed autographs and when they were done they got into a car to leave, it was Jon Lord, Ian Gillan and Ian Paice. As they were driving away, my friend who got lost and came late ran over and actually threw himself onto the hood of their moving car and they stopped and got out and met with him before getting back into their car to leave. That impressed me greatly as most bands would not have bothered to stop for a fan. Really great guys and they have always been my favorite band.

[@janne_pettersson]

I was there....great event!!!

[@richardfarkas7845]

You've got to love Roger. What an icon and humble guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him and the band. As a mature bassist, I must admit it was the greatest moment for me. My mouth went dry, I was so nervous. Roger laughed. But, the advice he imparts is fantastic! Cheers to the greatest Rock Band of all time. Thank you Roger!

[@rodds1839]

Thank you Roger you have been my biggest influence in the last 30years of playing the bass

[@bhobo09]

Glover is a great guy! ..and a legend!! One of my favorite people in music!

[@RMirabilio]

What a legend!!! ROGER!!!

[@johnfa51]

My most important influence. I start play bass thanks to him. Really thank you Roger.

[@NZPersian]

A true down to earth man and brilliant musician.

[@Cl4rendon]

I enjoyed every single second of this. Roger with Jon have this wonderful charisma. He`s the kind of guy i`d love to sit in the pub, have a few beers and chat for hours about music.

[@petegage]

I don't remember Roger playing Rock Island Line in the school gymnasium, but I DO remember our schooldays friendship in Battersea,and hanging around in Harry Hayes' record shop in the Fulham Road near Roger's house. Thanks for the music Roger! PG

[@robdelabassist]

I was there, was a great master class!

[@damon6852]

All wise words from a True Legend (and such a warm, welcoming fellow!!)

[@gtate135]

Roger is an amazing player, tasty well structured bass lines which ARE NOT fucking easy!

[@peterthegreat996]

Simple doesn’t mean easy

[@chiaramazzotti]

Un vero artista💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@salariaway2861]

Good man great bassist

[@monkeycrud]

I would love to see a Paice/Glover masterclass, showing how they work together.

[@erlandandersen5782]

I'd luv to se a Glover/ McCartney jam session on bass! I've never heard of a jam session with only two basses, but it just struck my ,mind it'd be a thrill to se what came out of it if these two masters met and started jamming :)

[@attilapiros]

Paice is leading and Glover is following ;)

[@harveywallbanger3123]

It was Paice that got Glover the job in Deep Purple - Lord and Blackmore had just fired Rod Evans as vocalist and invited Ian Gillian for a tryout rehearsal, but he brought his bassist along. Lord and Blackmore hadn't been planning to fire Nick Simper, but Paice liked Glover so much better the band decided to take him too. "Mark II" aka the real Deep Purple, was born.

[@user-jz6to8md3c]

What a legend and awesome guy very down to earth.

[@jeffheff71]

What a great guy, and bass player!

[@black64er]

Pls Mr. Glover, I want lot more of this masterclasses...

[@arjunkaul]

Awesome. Rog is GREAT on bass and a sweet person

[@12groney]

One of my favorite hard rock bass players and overlooked by the so called critics when rating bass players. Thanks for posting, I will send this to my bass playing friends!

[@CaseyVan]

i learned absolutely nothing, but interesting things about Roger. I was happy that he played and mentioned 'Pictures of Home'.

[@miguelurdaci7884]

I think he was scared to over-do it, under-do it and to come across either too humble or too big for his boots. But I liked that. Keep it simple, follow the drummer, stick with good musos, keep it real. Good advice for a lot of today's players.

[@RustuPai]

That bass is very beautiful.

[@rokker101]

awesome bass player and a welshman!

[@daddycool7515]

"simplicity done me very well"

[@morganknox6642]

The Man is my bass icon thank you Roger Glover

[@purplemaniac1532]

Legend!

[@daverejected]

What a great weekend that was. Hurry up 2015!

[@Cioppoccio]

One of the greatest!

[@R0kushi]

''Im a simple bassplayer'' *plays pictures of home solo*

[@erlandandersen5782]

Nice. Interesting video with one of the masters of bass. Thanks for posting.

[@elimanjarrez5250]

That was absolutely awesome. What a great guy, and unknowingly all these years, my spirit animal!

[@gearheadted9210]

Icon,awesome bassist and genuine swell fella

[@PietroRumenta]

I still haven't managed to understand how Roger Glover could have gone from the warm, distinctive and woody tone of the Rickenbacker to the cold, anonymous and metallic tone of the modern basses he has been using in the last years.

[@michaeljohnfoster2316]

Just watching this now, Roger comes across as a great man to chat with, no ego, just a great bloke to chat about his bass playing, pretty funny guy as well. Thanks for posting this, really enjoyed watching this. Cheers.

[@DokktorDeth]

Saw RG outside the Liverpool Royal Court theatre, circa 1982 - he has just done a sound check with drummer Chuck Cheeseburgi (!) for a Rainbow gig that night. Lovely man then, lovely man now. An example to us all ..

[@cyprescrow]

This is a wonderful little seminar. ...by a legend who also come across as a very nice and humble man. Love this video. He nails down the whole deal of playing music in a humorous and down to earth way. Very inspiring even though I'm not a bass player.

[@robdelabassist]

and my Dad asked the question 'how would you write a song that has never been written before?'

[@xristinazerva]

The coolest guy I've ever seen😁

[@summerrr1]

That’s impressive, but can you play smoke on the water?

[@shard841]

I also loved John Ilsley from Dire Straits. Always got so into it.

[@atbglenn]

Roger, you are one of the most down to earth rock stars out there. That said, your bass playing kicks ass!

[@kneelandpray2878]

Master Glover!

[@morosejew67]

Very cool with the exception of the earthquake cam.

[@paulofreire7520]

Yeah, we love you Roger 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@ZumadoggGoogle2]

Very inspiring. The great ones always make it sound/seem so easy. Makes me feel like a real loser.

[@user-eb8mi3xi5f]

And they seem so effortless!

[@jasondotson]

Razamanaz....Nazareth were fantastic!

[@jamesrusso2523]

Very Underrated Musician

[@anamorrison7667]

roger ❤❤

[@CafeBertrandOfficiel]

Da Master of Class ;) !

[@SOULLINE.77]

Великий музыкант и Великий человек!

[@kanealson5200]

It is funny when you look at some of the biggest and most highly regarded bands that the bass players are often simple and not at all flashy players. The Rolling Stones, The Band, The Beatles, Deep Purple, The Clash, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, etc. All bass players keeping good time looking for the right pocket and feel.

[@kenvorland]

A very cool dude amazing bass player meet him in Gothenburg

[@revo1337]

"I pay Ian Pacce even talking to me"

[@donalddodds9471]

HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY TO A BASS PLAYING LEGEND (B: November 30th,1945) also produced Judas Priest's SIN AFTER SIN album along with early Nazareth albums from RAZAMANAZ to RAMPANT...Happy Birthday ROGER GLOVER

[@markgordon2260]

I was a violist in an orchestra. I know what he means!

[@michaeljohnfoster2316]

Roger is a great bass player.

[@carlsam1516]

Ready great guy and he'sa Welshman

[@monkeycrud]

Roger, please go back to producing Purple albums. The feel is so much more present when you do it.

[@miguelurdaci7884]

Yeah, and while you're at it Rodger, can't you convince Morse to skip the FX and over-done vibrato?

[@kenvorland]

What's the name of the song with lonnie Donegan?

[@Digmen1]

Greta video. As an ex bass player I agree with him wholeheartedly. being able to play slap or fast riffs and semi solos on the bass, does not make you a good player. Bass is what people dance to, and as Roger says, it holds the band together, so the virtuosos can play.

[@SveinMBortne]

Hi Roger. How often do you hang out with Ritchie? Best from PBSpecial.

[@floouk]

I've got a lot of time for Roger Glover. I think he's a far better bass player than he gives himself credit for, but a front man he isn't.

[@stevewoodward7850]

Roger Glover is a very understated bass player and much better than he makes out. I wonder what the other song was that they all couldn't agree on ........."When a blind man cries"?

[@mywhitebicycle869]

Painted Horse maybe? Cause it’s the Who Do We Think We Are sessions (When a… was recorded during the MH sessions)

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i reckon he is more nervous in the beginning than you or i might be - as he has an enduring legacy and to stand in the spotlight here and have to explain what he does intuitively must be hard ,,,one thing to do -another to explain .

[@dobrepytanie828]

25:46 - Does he actually keep count on how many times did he play Smoke on the water??

[@dobrepytanie828]

+DobrePytanie Ok, nevermind that. According to his number he should have played this song every day for 39617 years.

[@RustuPai]

Best advice, 'get luck'

[@music9556]

i hate when the volume sucks on these docs.

[@socialresearcher8851]

I didn't know he was such a chatterbox :)

[@juancarlosespesoandollo7217]

Alguien se podia enrollar y traducir esta masterclass

[@miguelurdaci7884]

Encontraste a alguno por allí? Yo, viviendo en Madrid, encantado de hacerlo con unas cervecitas

[@NenadVasilicMusic]

:)

[@rosekittygraykittyjackkitt9676]

Roger G could be J Wise' s long lost twin brother.

[@annagabriel8351]

What was the sound coming out of nowhere bothering to listen to a Legend??

[@AllSpace]

audio is way to low, the mixers fault

[@mmmmattiameetmusic2631]

11:58

[@Twirlyhead]

Butterfly Ball.

[@annagabriel8351]

Turn of the music don't you hear it's bothering?!

[@mrskinner3203]

Nobody asked about his hats???

[@torbjornsjoholm6376]

My thought too!

[@jamesrusso2523]

Can't hear him, sound so low

[@metacosmos]

quite boring but happy to listen his voice, most of the speech is known since years ago by the interviews.

[@mikelane2866]

I was actually really surprised with how funny he seemed.

[@metacosmos]

yes, he is a nice man, when he is not producing a band.

[@miguelurdaci7884]

metacosmos Boring is OK as long as it's real. Sick of the hyped up false world. This is real. That's better than false but revved up. And I can see there is so much more underneath all that he says. The mild humour I prefer to the pressure of being made to laugh.

[@JustusVidyo]

this video is so quiet :S

[@JustusVidyo]

+Kris Kopec thx captain obvious

[@Digmen1]

I think the bass player should lead (be slightly ahead)

[@samueljakobgreter4921]

Deep Purple ,the best Band ever . Only Jimi Hendrix was better !

[@bartrobinson2103]

my 2 absolute favorites!!

[@ernt03]

He just talks but doesnt. Play

[@MICKIN310]

LESS TALK PLEASE

[@austinkaiser4384]

Roger is a cool guy, but the non-stop self-effacement gets a little annoying after a while. I'm not saying he should be a braggart, but it would be nice for him to talk about his playing instead of trying to make himself seem like a musical non-entity.
