I am probably not welcome on this thread. Prince was class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. Justin Chancellor from Tool. James Jamerson from most of the Motown songs you’ve ever heard. Adam Clayton from U2. Nothing fancy but always just the right notes. Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Bernard Edwards all representing funk and slap bass. Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Stanley Clarke for the electric jazz bass. And for fancy YouTube friendly you can’t beat Henrik Linder from Dirty Loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I’ll probably get mocked for this but anyone who’s ever played guitar should agree. Status Quo’s dual attack of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. Rightly mocked for their later pish stuff but the early 70’s stuff like Down Down and Caroline. Playing that metronomic tight guitar playing is bloody hard, and doing it for a whole gig almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great musicians and believe you me a lot of bands can play QUO ( I know I have been trying for 50odd years 😀)but only Quo can do it right.
