BBC Four Guitar, Drums and Bass

Unread post by Toontrev »

Still available on catch up. Guest presenters for the three programmes, Tina Weymouth, Stewart Copeland and Lenny Kaye. All good but the Bass one was fascinating, how Herbie Flowers came up with riff for Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side', forget his name but the guy who did the walking Bass line for Nancy Sinatra's 'These boots are made for walkin', well worth a watch and some great archive clips.

Personally I would give it a 5/10 at best. The Bass one was padded out with "famous places I have been to" and the guitar one seemed to be hosted by someone who was unable to tune a guitar. The Sky arts series about drumming was IMHO much much better (though it was 3 programs over the space of 4, the last was mostly filler).
