I couldn’t agree more. I actually learned this bass line this morning, and the most difficult part about it isn’t learning the notes, those are relatively easy to figure out. In the first bar in which the bass comes in, Pino Palladino starts playing in the middle of the bar on beat 3, then alternates playing on the 1 in the following bars before the first chorus. There are other aspects to this bass line of his that make it brilliant (of course it does, it’s Pino!!). To your point, it’s little things like this, alone with the way that the bass and drums dance around one another, that make it sound sloppy to “a less enhanced ear” and “incredible” to those who make music.

Wayne Matthews Yes he is! I’ve been trying to figure out what P-bass that is he’s playing. Any ideas?

@@kevinlynch2248 That should be his '64 P

Zeren Joy Very reminiscent of D'Angelo I would say.
