This is great! Most famous artists that are on top like mark King won’t break down their signatures techniques this simply were you can see it being achieveable except for Wooten.
I just picked up level 42′s latest cd-retroglide from 2006—-unbelievable-you HAVE to check it out….music is the soundtrack to the diary of our lives….in 20 years from now when Im still digging on it…I’ll be remeniscing on 2009!!
I was geeking out on this stuff 30 years ago and still am. But its not just about speed and how fast you play, its about feel and the melodic songs. Feel for me is not someone who’s techincially fast (and there many out there), but when they play it makes the hairs on your neck tingle ! which more often and not isnt fast playing, ie The Johnson Brothers etc. Bass lines that Hurt !
Nice on the Alembic, but I have to admit, I do like his sound on the Status better. Good switch.
i appreciante the nose picking to prove your point.
nose picking goes a long way in my book too
man, that guy is fast…
I like his face at 1:54
this guy its I M P R E S I V E
it’s like he’s having an orgasm xD
i bet the action is damn low
Gold fingers…
stunning
it actually turned a switch in my brain.. like ahhh!
thanks for putting this up
Genius doesn’t describe the core talent that is this man.
uhm….is his fret ID inlay …..lit up ?
Yes. I believe that’s an Alembic bass with LED fret markers.
I just discovered Level 42 on Thursday. (Late, I know.) Always knew about the two really big hits, but didn’t know anything else about them, except for the Douglas Adams connection. Thanks to YouTube and you, I now know about Mark King. I always thought he had a beautiful singing voice, but now I’m truly impressed by his musicianship. Thanks!
Correct
thats exactly what playin feels like
Yep :’D
Inset LED’s
no doubt
F’in rockass!!!
MUCH RESPECT TO MARK KING!
