[@THESONRISESINTHEEAST]

That Bassline is Junkyard Dog ferocious!!!....and Thank you Mr.Purdie....u have never forsaken me!!!

[@Tiresias1992]

Purdie was so good here. What a great drummer.

[@danielchernau3503]

The drum panning is really weird though. Definitely does not reflect the actual physical setup

[@Hulloder]

Chuck rainey hangs on the beat here like no body's business 🔥🔥🔥

[@CorePathway]

Rainey’s slide at 1:01 is slick like a pickpocket

[@moussetache1815]

@@CorePathway Damn I didn't remember this detail. I'm hooked now.

[@georgetebbens3524]

Rainey weaves through time. Pushing, laying back, stretching, floating...

[@eboethrasher]

@@CorePathway the part under the end of the solo is what gets me, and the slide soon after as well. He's such a genius.

[@chrismitchell45]

My all time favorite groove. No better rhythm section ever for grooving in the pocket.

[@lukemanify]

Green Earrings?

[@radeum1010]

Pure alchemy.. every note on the back beat that Bernard Purdie plays on the snare is syncopated gold.

[@franciscoaragao5398]

After you told me I could here... yes

[@SP-qi8ur]

What is the back beat?

[@Gabriel-qe6cy]

Chuck is right in the pocket

[@MrBedZeppelin]

Holy Larry Carlton!!

[@marksasahara1115]

There is something wrong with me. I've been listening to this iso track 2x to 5x per day, for the last couple of weeks. Not only that, but the guitar riffs bounce around in my head all day too. Bernard and Rainey? Wow, man. Just, Wow. Oh, yeah: headphones, as loud as possible.

[@calvinmark2112]

Nothing wrong with you! The groove is addicting

[@SP-qi8ur]

Now try green earrings

[@krisscanlon4051]

I've FM in my head constantly! I already have mh issues however this kinda of obsession is fun!

[@jorgechaves8292]

Incredible! Clase Total!! The Best Music in the World !!

[@comrade_crab]

this recording has historical significance

[@johnrogers001]

I hit the "like" button because there's no "absolutely love" button.

[@petertrotman7708]

BEAST OF A RHYTHM SECTION !!!! More please.

[@stevebehm]

YOU GOT THAT BASS DRUMS ALWAYS THE CORNERSTONE T6HE BASS IS A LEAD VERY RARE.

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Purdie and Rainey are the fucking men. I totally love Becker's laid back rhythm playing on this too

[@thomassicard3733]

I had a chance to study with Chuck Rainey, but my wife at the time was a... nevermind.

[@ftlauderdaleborn1098]

We were just listening to this album ( my original vinyl, '70s). My husband who's also a drummer got up to read the cover to see who the drummer was because he liked what he heard. He'll get a kick out of this. Thanks for sharing 👍🎶

[@adamfurnish8481]

Bernard Purdie is amazing, like all the drummers they had on their records (every track on Aja is a different drummer)

[@magmavander]

@@adamfurnish8481 Yeah! A lot of the top players of this time played with Steely Dan. Sometimes perfection is boring, not here 😁😉

[@timcutler4708]

Mr. Purdie proves he Is a master of his craft

[@OzzMazz]

Great!

[@magmavander]

Fabulous!!!!! 😎 Thanks for sharing, even very dry and limited in instruments , fx and vocals, this song works so well 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@cap231jim]

Dat's how it's done....tight!!!

[@metaphoria3]

That bass slide

[@pretorious700]

Purdie was so steady and relaxed. Unique style.

[@JamieMarshallMusician]

oh my this is absolute GOLD . . thank you Rafael

[@Yourbankaccount]

Damn, why people won't t talk about the outro solo? It's fucking badass

[@thomassicard3733]

But,... People do. We are talking about it right now!!! It's frakking badarse!!!

[@abbywall-tt3de]

This bass line makes me want to dance

[@jchang2210]

Legendary

[@robbeun3792]

Been playing the guitar part for awhile, now going to try to learn Chucks part on my new 1994 5 string Ken Smith - Chuck Rainey bass that my brother just sold me for half price. Guitar - 40 yrs, bass - rookie.

[@thomassicard3733]

You're gonna love bass. It changes a person, for the better.

[@robertnorton92]

What is interesting is that it sounds like several takes layered into this track were not actually ever on the release, so that indicates these are the original tracks plus alternate takes as well. Listen to the rhythm guitar on this during the choruses, and then listen closely to the original release. You'll notice the difference between the strumming patterns.

[@i94yeh2p]

I just started trying to teach myself how to play bass and this is just mind blowing but so amazing at the same time. That's a lot of fret work. 😁👌

[@thomassicard3733]

Always take the time to LET IT BE EASY. FIND THE EASY WAY!!!

[@yannaimichael8754]

Thank you for uploading this

[@xxczerxx]

This is awesome, there's stuff you can hear in this that you don't pick up on the record bc of the mix

[@matheusafrancez]

hey there are some isolated vocal tracks to this song and they are rad

[@bw548]

Amazing! Thank you for posting! Just a friendly suggestion: You may want to mention that this also includes the guitar solos as that will likely garner a lot more views. Although, you may not want to advertise that for copyright reasons...?

[@joepollockbass]

I also want to add that even though I love the solo for this song, my intent on watching this video was to pick up the bass line by ear more clearly.

[@eboethrasher]

@@joepollockbass there is an isolated track of the bass only out there as well, it is a FUCKING REVELATION

[@joepollockbass]

@@eboethrasher Just saw this now. Thank you, I'll keep my eye out for it.

[@williamweiss6128]

Thank you. This is pretty damn cool.

[@demanto185]

I love this.

[@stuartmiller7419]

SO much gas in the car 🙂

[@rtothemutha]

Dayuum.... This album cover is interesting.

[@alanmurphy5770]

This is a great way to learn how to play this song. Any chance you can do Reelin’ in the Years and Rikki?

[@koho]

Great! How do you get ahold of these isolated tracks?

[@LoJahn]

Probably by using Moises AI

[@JuicyRocksMinecraft]

do the same for caves of altamira? love those drum fills

[@oRuTRa45]

That's the one I wanna hear. My favorite one from this LP.

[@koho]

Any chance you have the same for Josie?

[@user-cd1id3gb8t]

Thank you!

[@sickly_b]

REASONABLE!

[@thomassicard3733]

This is unobtainuim!

[@philt4346]

Wow they played right to the penny. Implies the fade was charted. Gulp.

[@mattjohnson6227]

Carlton charted it.

uh oh i hear some slappin in there. but i bet don and walter never knew it went down.

[@alanmurphy5770]

Any chance of doing the same for Rellin in the years?

[@RDYC]

It seems the fade out is longer on the record than they actually played. They spliced more audio onto the end for the tail of the fadeout...

[@snarflatful]

The Dan were way, way ahead of their time here. 🎶

[@jerrymammoser9857]

...if you want to hear what “the pocket” is, I suggest you queue up to 1:28-1:36 and hear LC’s rhythm guitar chopping. You swear he’s dragging it. He is not. This, is The Pocket.

[@adamkringel7578]

Yeah I noticed that too. He is behind the beat, but it's still the pocket.

[@palmsofdestin1]

Sorry he loses it toward the end of that 8 second section. They're not even together at all.

[@jerrymammoser9857]

@@palmsofdestin1 ...you’re right. I thought I was hearing things.

[@bobwalker200]

So what’s making that rhythm guitar sound?

[@alaguila]

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@cpann2000]

Dean Parks on rhythm guitar? Can't remember. Maybe it's Larry throughout.

[@TimUckun]

Walter Becker is credited. Criminally underrated guitarist. The rhythm work on this is stellar. Larry Carlton said although he recorded Josie over and over again the opening riff is probably Becker because it's a strat and he only played the 335.

[@goodgulfgas]

love the song and the isolation of instruments. But, title is not correct.

[@erikshen1107]

Now you went and done it!! You HIRED THE HITMAKER BERNARD "PRETTY" PURDIE!!!!

[@michaelanthony9068]

Is this real ? It seems too much to be able to hear the real drum and bass only !

[@bobwalker200]

Aah, “bass guitar” is “bass, guitar”

[@georgetebbens3524]

It actually sounds like the rhythm section loses their footing for a bar around the 3:30 mark. This was surely disregarded in light of the rock-solid nature of the rest of the take. Interesting, though. It's fascinating to hear pro musicians recover and reestablish their footing so effortlessly "on the fly".

[@palmsofdestin1]

Yeah perfectly exposed like this You can hear a lot of flaws but it's still really cool

[@palmsofdestin1]

That wasn't the only place lol

[@eboethrasher]

Bernard and Chuck don't lose SHIT. Bernard is a human drum machine, and Chuck does what Chuck does and it isn't a mistake, it's a choice, lol.

[@palmsofdestin1]

@@eboethrasher It's definitely off. Sorry pumpkin.....

[@martinhalstead5942]

There is a strange u"thump" sound around 3:22 , and the guitar seems to meander a bit in the same bar.

[@Gregor9043]

Ridiculous. I feel like burning my bass lol.

[@edd7812]

And me my drums! 🤣

[@brenthorn2799]

No way Man! You know you can slow KZbin videos down, and they stay in pitch, right? It’s just like eating an elephant. Take it one bite at a time. You’ll get there!

[@philt4346]

the lines with the lead solo are some of my favourite moments in bass.
