Like Wyman...like John Ëntwistle...like Carol Kaye...people who knows how to just play bass...

What does that even mean 'know how to play bass'? These three all have a very different style, so two of them don't know?

the baseline under the satsifaction riff,


guitar riff b b b cis d d d cis
chords e e e d d d a
bass e e e a a e

bass is very agressive going to A when the chords are D

Not only that, there is also a very small, but subtle delay between the guitar riff and the bass.

It creates a certain dynamic tension when Bill plays something like E E E F# G# A A G# F# under Keith's main riff. It's actually contrary to the chording but it works.

it would be intersting to ask Bill how his baseline came about.. my suggestion is hw wouuld answer : "you know, it was a complete coincidance" almost all the time time the bass plays the root of the cord, exceptiones are the Jazz, where the base hits the root just on the 1st beat, in satisfaction bill hits A on 1.beat
ower the D cord.. very unusual. is that correct analysis ?

How about "Stoned"? Bill on the bass on that one, right? I love Bill Wyman. Very cool guy as well in person.
