Radio Radio Elvis Costello – Bruce Thomas

by

 

Here’s the main sections of the Elvis Costello song Radio Radio for you to check out – great rock bass line by Bruce Thomas. The main sections are filmed at two tempo levels – performance tempo and performance tempo minus approx15 BPM – and I’ve edited the videos with picure and picture. As always, use your EARS to hear what’s going on, especially with the slowed down versions. If you’ve taken one of my Challenges or are on the 80-20 Program, have a listen and see if you can hear what devices are being used!

  1. Thanks for posting! Bruce Thomas is one of my favorite bassists – so many super cool and interesting grooves! Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I’d probably go with “This Year’s Girl”.

    • Definitely one of my favourite players too. At one point we were set to write a book together! I might try and resurrect that project in the new year!
