Professor Of Rock has shared the new video below, along with the following introduction…
“Bass players don’t always get the credit they deserve when it comes to hit songs. A lot of it comes down to their role – laying down the foundation of the track in a lower frequency range that isn’t always front and center. To the casual listener, the bass can feel like it’s just hanging out in the background while the melody and vocals steal the spotlight. But the truth is, a killer bass line is what gives a song its groove and holds everything together. Up next I’m going to attempt the impossible… Naming 5 of the most killer bass lines of the rock era, including the guitar riff by Cream that probably invented heavy metal and is played by guitarists all the time in guitar shops around the globe… but it’s actually a bass riff! Plus a killer bass line by Queen that tops dozens of lists of the greatest baselines ever… but the band admittedly ripped it off the disco band Chic. In fact that disco band’s bass line is the most sampled and ripped-off piece of music ever. We get the stories next on Professor of Rock.”
