I absolutely adore this song! I really get lost in your bass whenever I hear it.....thank you so much!

The thing I love about the Lockdown Licks videos is they have just the right mix of entertainment, education and brutality.

Iva Davies Is an underappreciated songwriter / craftsman.

beautiful to watch!

You are so good. I love this song still so many years later!

Another great video. I finished your book in hospital while waiting to have a cancer operation the other week, the nurse was wondering why I was laughing. Thanks.

Thanks Guy your time with Icehouse was magic especially working with Iva Davies amazing songwriter, Stay close tonight was another mystical tune like Hey little Girl a brilliant time that we will never hear again thanks for the music Guy much appreciated.

Close your eyes and you could be listening to Bryan Ferry. Great video as always, Guy!

please....MORE Icehouse!!!!!!!

Amazing bass player. One of the best my ears have heard. I'm not sure which song I love listening to you playing the most. But... Id love to hear the bass from The Mountain... Icehouse... also from the Sidewalk album.... Please. Thank you.

More Icehouse would be amazing. Such an underrated band

What a great forgotten song. I love that you talked about the wide "space" that's available in creating a line for this. For me, that concept is the most important of the Miles Davis canon - "its the notes you don't play that matter."

Takes me back to a much simpler time of my life! Icehouse (Flowers) was a staple when growing up in the 80's Thank you Guy, these videos have been awesome

Thanks Guy. Really enjoying these vids. In the 80's as a young fella I learned the bass playing along to Icehouse. I still play the same headless Cort 4-string (couldn't afford a Steinberger). Loved Icehouse then, still love it now. Thanks so much for what you have given me in bass playing style and finding real enjoyment from music (specifically bass). Would love it if you could bring us more 'licks' from Icehouse. Love you, love your work. Stay safe.

Don't Believe Anymore was another beautiful formulation of sound Guy knows this track well, soo lets hand it over to you guy.

This warms my heart Guy! Great memories of Icehouse and yourself. In fact when you joined Pink Floyd I remember thinking wow so cool they picked an Aussie on bass! Ah youthful innocence.....

PLEEEZE post "The Ballad Of Jenny Ledge"! It's probably my favorite track I've heard you play...and that's saying a lot, 'cause I'm a fan!

Really enjoying the waffling, Guy. Cheers from South Australia.

Love the humility of you saying that you can’t play the online bass lessons! 🤣

Love the fact “ I can’t do anything on the bass lessons “ . Just goes to show . It’s all about feeling the music

Guy, not sure if you read these, but I have a crazy story. I traded for a “Frankenstein” Bass last week. The neck is terrific, and says Pavel Maslowiec on the headstock. I located him (he’s a repair tech and builder in LA), sent him pictures to see what info he had. He said it was from a P Bass he made for you some years ago, and it was stolen in transit to you. He said it is 90 year old quartersawn maple and 150 year old Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. As I said, it’s a great neck. When I got it, it was on a sea foam green cheap jazz body with Barts and an Audere preamp. Tuners were trash so I ordered new ones before I learned this story. Not sure how the neck ended up separated from the original bass and here in the Midwest, USA.

so crazy, I've been on an Icehouse tear for days and BOOM!

Please play Ballad of Jenny Ledge, which is a typical example of "song that I love AND has interesting bass on it". I love those slides down the fretboard!

Guy rock'in out! It is SO GREAT when you get into that pocket eh?! Love the jam man... LOVE the jam! Keep this up Guy. Keep it funky and FUN! Stay SAFE, STAY home and keep it REAL! Cheers, W.

thanks for contributing to one of my favorite albums, Sidewalk, still listening to it 36 years later

Always a pleasure tuning into these videos. One of my favourite bassists.

Guy, “no income this year - thanks COVID”. Not to worry, I’ve just bought your book. £1.99! No need to thank me, we’re all in this together 😂

There once was a bass player named Pratt (Not a surname I’d ever choose, that) On KZfaq he whips Out these video clips... Essential viewing in my habitat His first name is Guy, by the way Oh man, you should watch this Guy play! He slaps and he strums Flaying fingers and thumbs And his skill level blows me away! But he strums more than slaps, it needs stating Though his slapping skill’s far from abating “I don’t slap much,” he blurts “When I slap, my thumb hurts And the pain is quite ex-cruciating!” But there’s far more to Guy’s bag of tricks Than just bass playing in his “Lockdown Licks” While there sure ain't no offal There’s this thing he calls “waffle” (Not the dessert to which Maple Syrup sticks) His “waffle” is the tales he relays ‘bout his past and the songs that he plays The yarns are such fun It’s kind of sad when they're done Could listen to Guy waffle for days But don’t ask an already asked question I say this for your own protection Cos Guy won't, “Tut tut” He’ll kick you right up the butt Never fear, 'twill be done with affection!

I played this album alot! I always thought it was a fretless!! But is this awesome chorus... great job Guy. i love your style

Great to hear some Icehouse. Love the Sidewalk album, it's got an epic sound. Thank you Guy.

Ice house are wonderful , had such a feel of Roxy meets Bowie , pure class

Guy Pratt you are legend!! 🎸

"Stay Close Tonight" and the entire Sidewalk album is underrated. I'm a classically-trained Tuba player, and watching your videos has given me ideas on how to better my playing on the contemporary music side. I would pepper you with lots of suggestions from your time with Icehouse, but I enjoy your content and keep up with the good work.

Just remembering how I used to feel listening to this back in the day. Flooding back

I love the fact you are doing Toy Matinee. Saw you first time in Frankfurt, way back when, with Icehouse, read your book and followed your career. You are a national treasure..

Don't know which I like more, the brilliant "waffling" or brilliant bass wizardry !

So nice

The Flame is one of my fave Icehouse tracks. Very eighties. Very earnest. Very necessary.

The song that got me hooked on Icehouse back in '84... Thanks guy!

Brilliant video, thanks so much! Sidewalk is one of my favourite albums and this song brings back some happy memories. I'd love to hear you do more ICEHOUSE please! 😊

Have always loved the base in this song - as well as Iva's brilliant songwriting & unique voice. Appreciate the base even more now thanks to your wonderful waffle ❤️

Sidewalk us my favourite Icehouse album, primarily for the bass playing on it. Thanks for showing us this song.

OMG yes! More Icehouse please. Measure for Measure is a sentimental favorite.

This tune is so good even the camera is bobbing along to the beat.

I was waiting for this one. Fabulous performance and I said before the track has your (emerging) style all over if driving it along. So cool... thank you!

Wouldn't mind if you waffled a bit longer actually Guy. I see what you mean about loads of space in the bassline but any less would spoil the whole thing, I was once told that what is left out can be just as effective as what is in. 👏👏

Massive, massive love for celebrating the great (and criminally underrated) Alan Spenner.

I remember ice House back in the days.. There's one song I like called Crazy... Oh and Got your book My bass and other animals.. Brilliant 😁👍

Thank you for sharing - really one of the most inspiring baselines - awesome 😊

What a treat. Sorry I'm about a year and a half late to see this breakdown from you on a lost gem of a song. Love the positive outlook during your memory of performing this song.

Yep, keen to see a Measure For Measure track 'lockdown-licked'. See that Brian Eno and Steve Jansen were also involved with the album. Cross The Border would be great, a few comments below mention that track. Spanish Gold would be another good one.

Jenny Ledge !!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

One of the great things about watching these has been discovering new music I was unfamiliar with. The Toy Matinee album is fabulous and on a regular repeat here. I also like the honesty, it makes me feel much better about my amateur efforts to see a great bass player making the odd mistake and laughing it off. Mainly though you're just a really likeable bloke, with a sense of humour, some great stories and the ability to tell them well. Keep it up, I look forward to each new one.

What beautiful timing you have, Guy.

Loving it all Guy ... dont trust those flimsy looking guitar hangers....

Loves these videos, please keep doing them.

Very nice. Never heard any Icehouse before. This sounds very like Bryan Ferry meets Talk Talk. I'm liking it.

Amazing playing 😎😎

Great! Thanks for doing these!

What great story telling .. I didn't realise you played with Icehouse, Geez they were (are) and fabulous band and Iva is a national treasure and a class act muso and song writer (and still touring, when allowed) . .

OMG - I had a dimension D in my rack for years after hearing Pino used one...

love this

As usual enjoyed every frame of this. Cheers Guy.

Fabuloso!

Enjoying all of it Guy ~ stories and all, thank you 🐟🦈

Fantastic! Great song with great bass line.

More Icehouse please...thks

Excellent as always. Thank you for sharing and entertaining. You are one of the best.

Icehouse were awesome...

Love Icehouse and this was an absolute treat. Thank you Guy.

Unreal! Thank you for sharing!

Keep them coming Guy! Thanks to these videos, I've bought and read your book, re-watched Delicate Sound of Thunder, and bought the Toy Matinee album. Keeping me busy during Covid19!

Loved this one, Icehouse are one of the great underrated bands. If you are ‘talking’ Measure for Measure what about Spanish Gold or The Perfect Crime?

Vocally, is was Bryan Ferry 'Avalon' era. Astounding bass work too :)

Cool Roxy Music vibes! Nicely played Guy.

Wow, I knew you played with Icehouse but was not sure when! (I'm an Aussie in the Uk- ex Violist of Philharmonia Orchestra) I took up bass last year and motoring through icehouse tracks! Measure for Measure is such a great Album. Congratulations. Although is the best bass rife for any icehouse track "fatman"! I love playing that! I'm def getting a steinberger now!!! Thanks for your lockdown vids. Great stuff.

Brilliant as always...

Splendid, absolutely fabulous.

Love your videos (and your book! 🙂)!

It’s a blast watching you relive these. I was waiting with bated breath for some Icehouse. Let’s find that L2!

Loving these video and stories. They've been the upside of a very strange time

Hi, Guy. You put a long lusting smile upon my face. Thanks for bringing the joy and smiles.

Great man! Grazie 🙏😁

another great tune , thanks for the music!!

Not only are these always perfect entertainment especially during the current times but great to hear and see how you put them together , thanks for all these great vids Guy

Excellent I love those videos Guy!

Another Great Vid Guy 👍👍👍👍

Love your book!

Great stuff, Icehouse were one of my favourites back in the day, I think even saw them live once when you played in my then home town Canberra :) Thanks for doing these Guy!

Amazing lessons... Thanks a lot.

You looked like you had a lot of fun with that one! Was just thinking this morning ‘ oh it’s been a while since a new video appeared’ Imagine my delight upon arriving home from work and this was in my notifications. ;-)

I'd never heard this song and got a bit lost in it in a good way. Thank you for these.

I don’t know how I missed this episode when they were coming out…these were my favorite part of Covid, not that there was much else, but these would be my favorite now too! At least we have The Rockonteurs! This might be my favorite song off Sidewalk!! Thank you for sharing!! This bass & your Status fretless sound AMAZING with this chorus!!

Nice one Guy! I really look forward to each episode! You've reintroduced me to music I haven't heard for ages

Really truly enjoyed that - lovely 80’s feel and sound! 👌🏼

Mr. Pratt God bless you!!!

Jimbo - from tape op to CEO - there's hope for all of us - inspirational! Love your work Guy

Joyful as ever

My Hero in this moment😎

Yet another superb slice of skill, humour and generally great company ☺ Love the burgundy mist wall, every home should have one 😉 I've started with the bass centre signature model, superb bit of kit 👍 Many thanks again Guy and please keep them coming ☺
