Le mois les Claypool

Joel Mariette a écrit:voilà ce que j'ai en magasin sur Primus au format guitar pro.

Excellent, merci Jo !

Pas mal de trucs sur Songsterr aussi.

Ah Les Claypool
le bassiste de primus
il n'y parait pas comme ça mais ce type est un véritable génie
capable de passer sur 4, 5 ou 6 cordes fréttées ou fretless.
Al'époque j'avais essayer de jouer american life mais là je pense qu'il faut 2 cerveaux !!

pas vraiment fan car j'accroche pas sur la zik de primus. par contre je suis fan complet d'un ou deux trucs qu'il a sortit à coté, notamment l'album The Grand pecking order avec le trio "oysterhead" dont voici un extrait live:



Ou encore un live de son autre groupe les "Frog brigade" qui reprennent live intégralement l'album "Animals" de Pink Floyd, mon disque fétiche.

Il est vrai que la musique de primus est très spéciale !!
tiens pour ceux qui veule essayer amercican life

The basic part of the neck is made of quartersawn hardrock maple. The serial number 2-5-91 (the day the bass was finished), was also Carl Thompson’s birthday.
