Yussef Dayes X Alfa Mist - Love Is The Message [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs

A bit of a saga this week! Thank you to patron Isaac for hipping me to this really cool modern jazz/funk/soul outfit out of the UK. This one was originally recorded in Abbey Road studios, and features Pino Palladino's son, Rocco (yep - ROCCO) Palladino on bass!

A bit out of my comfort zone on this one for sure and it's also 10 minutes long so please forgive a few mistakes here and there - it was really hard to get this all done in a week for all of you. Took a week off last week.

There's a lot of really cool behind-the-beat bass playing by Rocco, as well as super imaginative/original little fills that are a bit more awkward than they first might sound. Also Rocco uses a few effects including an octave pedal - I opted to go pedal-less as I do on most of my videos, so transcribed it in the lowest octave, etc etc.

Enjoy, all!

Well done! I've just taken a bow and I'm clapping. And thanks to Patron Isaac for turning me on to a beautiful piece of music! Ben, I don't like to rank things but i find it irresistible to wonder what you think were the most difficult tunes you've learned? Coffee Break and A Love Bizarre would seemingly be high on the list. And which songs, after you've learned them, do you go back and play them again over and over for fun?

[virginiamarkson]

Restful, ‘hazy’, beautiful, wonderfully anchored, l-o-n-g.... and ‘love’ly. Thanks, Ben ~

Thank you so much! Please more (UK) Neo Jazz stuff!

thank you SO MUCH for showing chords as well. I'm making a lead sheet and I'm lazy, and you're really the only person that I've found to have transcribed the chords. thank you.

Is it possible to have continuum form the Invitation’s album ? It’s so beautiful

[grumpycats]

It’s impossible to have tabs of Continuum from the album Invitation. If you do it you’ll be my god 🤯

[brittanyfelder]

This is amazing!! How do you remove the bass line from the backtrack so you can play to it ?

[vdwxlyf]

Круто, лучший . Спасибо что открываешь новую музыку .
Сможешь записать Jamiroquai - Sunny (Bobby Hebb cover)?
