Thank you for taking the time with Mick Karn bass lines. I appreciate the time and energy you invested and helping teach these bass parts.

[@mindhead2005]

Glad you like them! Thank you

[@garyslater1243]

Brilliantly explained and beautifully played. A fitting tribute to an extraordinarily gifted musician.

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you very much!

[@rev.dr.paulmichaelraymond57]

very well taught thank you. you really take your time explaining.

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you.

[@grahamcharlton9704]

Excellent. Many thanks for this.

[@paulmcdonald7041]

A muti instrumentalist at such a young age was way ahead of his time. RIP Mick. X

[@mindhead2005]

A proper one-off.

[@IronBhoy]

This is brilliant. Really appreciate the time you put in for these tutorials. Looking forward to giving this classic a bash. That’s my weekend sorted , Cheers !

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you so much. It’s deceptive, isn’t it? I’ve heard so many people do it but miss the little things he did that make it even more special

[@larsfillmore4765]

Considering how young he (MK) was when he recorded this is just a tad mind blowing.

[@mindhead2005]

It’s incredible. Raw talent at its most concentrated, IMO

[@eliastheod]

Exactly

[@DavidCollier-dl3ud]

Thank you!

[@GlennPreston66]

Superb Mick. Imagine being in the room when MK came up with that.. Great work, as usual 👌

[@mindhead2005]

Can you imagine?? He was so creative Thanks buddy. Hope all is well

@@mindhead2005 Insane.. All good, brother ✊️

[@LOGOASSASSIN]

Awesome thanks. My first attempt at guitar was that riff? c1985 I didn't continue to learn but 35yrs later I bought a guitar and started to learn this time. I'll get that riff down again! It's awesome. BTW my bro got Jimmy Hendrix's autograph a couple of years before he died.

[@mindhead2005]

That’s VERY cool! Hope he still has it!

[@convertkendo5224]

Really enjoyed this . Was a masterclass on something I thought I’d been playing for years but I was not quite right. May I suggest A subway called you by Gary Numan , which I think is one of karns finest lines from the dance album. Thanks for your vids and efforts , a great help.

[@mindhead2005]

I really appreciate that, mate, thank you! I’ll get a listen to that track, haven’t heard it in a long time

[@convertkendo5224]

Ps one other that’s gold in my book is , now is my brothers time. I think it’s criminal that this bass player is unknown to many. They all bang on about Jaco but imho Karn will always be the man alongside Percy jones for me. Just sayin.

[@Mr.P001]

I saw them live in 1982 but only got myself a bass last year. One of the 1st things I tried to play but always got the harmonics wrong. Thanks for the awesome tutorial

[@mindhead2005]

That’s made my night! So glad it was helpful!

[@mindhead2005]

You’re so lucky to have seen them live

[@markhilbert6573]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Great work. If you haven't already can you do a tutorial on micks bass on the track Glow World from the Bill Nelson album Chimera. This is definitely one of my favourite bass parts by Mick Karn. This is also a great album

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you for the sub! Haven’t done glow world yet, so I’ll stick it on the list for sure.

[@njpurser]

What an absolutely brilliant teacher.Thanks for all the effort you helped me a lot.

[@mindhead2005]

Ah mate, thank you so much!!!

[@labottegadifilo-audiolibri]

Thanks for the tutorial! What kind of effects do you use to get the Mick Karn sound?

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you. I’m using a touch of compression and a little chorus here from an old Zoom 506. Your right hand technique is important too though, if you’re not aware of that. Dig in hard towards the back pickup and you get a bit more punch, which really helps.

[@eugenechek7288]

Very cool, as always.👍

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you

[@OliverSutton1962]

Thanks mate.✌

[@mindhead2005]

Thanks Oliver for watching

[@grahamcharlton9704]

Excited to find this. How do you get your amazing tone? Chorus? Flange? Ta

[@mindhead2005]

Thanks so much! Just a little chorus on this one. It’s also about the positioning of your right hand, I think

[@dazzp2]

Fat Harmonics on your JB , great playing

[@mindhead2005]

Thanks so much!!

[@Reptile8740]

Great tutorial as always! You plan a getting a Wal tribute of mick's? Youd pretty much have to take out a mortgage to get lol one but I've think youve earned it! I put a down payment on a custom unlined Fretless Jaydee bass 5 string so stoked to get it. but probably wont see it till late next year. Also you mind doing a little gear rundown? Type of strings what variation of Jazz that is etc. that would be cool!

[@mindhead2005]

Thank you very much! :) I had a Wal once in the late 80s on permanent loan. It was a Pro, I think? One pickup and a leather pickguard. .Anyway, I didn't like it much. Still should've kept it. Good luck with the Jaydee - they do lovely stuff!! My rig is simple - its just a Mex jazz with Custom Shop 60s pickups. Cheapo Warwick Red Label strings and I D.I. into the computer using a Scarlett interface. For effects, i use either a Zoom 506 or POD Go, whichever is closest to me at the time! :)

[@Reptile8740]

@@mindhead2005 super stoked yeah, ik the wait will be worth it. yeah talk about a future investment! Bet you got that Wal for a fraction of what it is now lol. And that really shows it's mostly in the pickups! The 62's sound super good so I thought maybe you had a more higher end fender from the tone. Every time I watch your vids and I always pickup the fretless, love the vids keep it up!

[@mindhead2005]

I bought it cheap with the pickups in it years ago. Sold it and bought it back. The tone is in your hands, I think. The earlier vids here are a Harley benton - €150 or something

[@Reptile8740]

​@@mindhead2005 True That! Also Highly recommend i second that emotion~japan. Such a groove!

[@johnmcintosh2079]

could you do it slowly in 1 go without stopping please., with a count in at the start. It is difficult to understand when you stop start and go back
