Rick Danko's Electric Bass Techniques
Single US 1987 on Homespun Video label
Rock (Technical, Education)
No one who has seen or heard The Band will ever forget Rick Danko's dynamic and exciting bass playing. His percussive, driving style is so distinctive that it is one of the trademarks of The Band's unique sound. This wonderful one-hour instructional video details some of the exercises, picking techniques and musical ideas that have formed his style through the years. With his character- istic enthusiasm and good humor, Rick teaches: - The proper way to play scales - Several exercises to provide you with great bass lines - His use of a flat pick and the palm of his right hand to get his unique, percussive sound - Tips on how he coordinates his playing with a drummer - Rhythm tracks to practice what you have learned Also included in this video are an interview in which Rick describes his musical influences and experiences, and an intimate performance of a song played jam-style with some of his Woodstock friends. This Tape is a wonderful treat, not only for bass players but for anyone interested in the music of this legendary performer.
