Here’s the video of Pino Palladino Sight Reading Etude 2 – this is a 16th note, uptempo blues rock kind of line. This is a two chorus etude using the blues format but using Hendrix Chords – so G7#9 and C7#9 – for a different flavour. The first chorus is a ‘verse’ and the second chorus is a ‘solo.’
The bass line was generated in Band In A Box using a custom style created by me. That’s part of the bonus package that goes with my latest book 80-20 Bass: Pino Palladino Style Grooves.

When I first joined you said courses are also in tab notation. I don’t read standard music notation so this means nothing to me.
Hey thomas
Everything I do has tab – EXCEPT for sight reading etudes. Which are obviously designed expressely for students to practice their sight reading. (As there is a dearth of good, reall world sight reading material out there in the bass world).
If sight reading is not something you’re interested in, you can safely ignore this.

I’m REALLY lacking in the sight-reading department, so this is both challenging and fun.
Thanks Paul!
