Guarding her carnal pleasure (My Original Tribute to Victor Bailey)

[Mach]

I've always admired Bassist who can do tapping on those big strings.
Guys like Victor Wooten, Stuart Hamm, Troy Johnson and of course Victor Bailey.
Baileys approach was more Improvisational with a tinge of blues with his jazzy background.
He was more subtle than guys like Sheehan and had a rhythmic feel with great grooves.

Here's my attempt at Bass tapping. The 1st part is one bass track tapping then an additional track to support the pre-chorus section. The middle part is all tapping then a transition run then back to the original. The last section is a blues ditty with 3 tracks--taps, pop and slaps for a rhythm and a bass lead over it.

Great piece of work Mach. To make the bass the central instrument in a track and make it work takes great skill I think and you have done a terrific job here. Never heard of Victor Bailey till I looked him up just now. So he has some resumé...

Great playing!
