Could I Play Bass With Dua Lipa? | Don't Start Now

"Could I Play Bass With" is back!

This is take one of one, and was crammed into my last day before leaving on tour which presented an extra challenge of the time-crunch factor. Nothing like the pressure of getting something done to heighten the senses and focus the mind.

The original was obviously programmed, and I thought it was a fun challenge to learn the song in 5 mins or so, and then hit record with the RKM and the Colour Box from JHS.

This is not a showcase for my playing, but rather a look inside the process of challenging myself to learn music fast and record it accurately. If this was a legit session there were things I would have edited about this take. A couple of E's on the G-string weren't placed the way I would have liked, and I would have perhaps taken a little more time to dial the compression in to get a slightly more "pillowy" sound.

Other factors that wold have been in play had this been a record date include there being a producer there to direct traffic. Every producer has their taste when it comes to sound, time feel and note selection. I can totally see a situation where fills were scrutinized, and bass lines adjusted and improved upon over the course of a few hours in the studio.

Dua Lipa is in desperate need of maestro Janek! Janek doesn't play bass, he IS the bass!

Janek covering Dua Lipa? Didn't see this coming, but I'm glad it did. Most original bass line out there for sure.

Brother, you could play bass with ANY single artist or band on this Earth. I WISH I had 1/10th of your skills!

Outstanding Janek! So many things you could’ve played but you didn’t, you served the song perfectly.
