Surrender Bass Cover

Happy Birthday to Robin Zander of Cheap Trick who was born on this date in 1953. I’m sure most everyone is familiar with this one by Cheap Trick, “Surrender” off of their “Heaven Tonight” album which came out in 1978 and featured Tom Petersson on bass. I was never a big Cheap Trick fan but I certainly owned, and listened to, their “…at Budakon” album when I was young. Boy, that album was HUGE for them! Over the years I’ve probably heard this song a few hundred times on the radio and never really paid very close attention to the bass. One day, I finally did give it a closer listen and found some pretty interesting details in it. While it may sound silly, one of the things that took a while to get a hang of was the bass patterns/rhythms during the the chorus’. Sometimes, here and there, he’d add or subtract a note (I’m not sure if he plays along with the bass drum every time or not) and then he changes the pattern up a bit on the last chorus and during the fade out. Another cool part was the fill at 1:06. It’s a very simple fill, but when I was listening to it I had some difficulty trying to pick out the notes. For some reason, it sounded like each note was different. I was pretty surprised to find that all the notes are the same, a high B, but the tones of each note are distinctly different. Take a listen to the actual recording and see if you’re hearing what I am. Anyway, I made an attempt do differentiate the tones by playing the note in as many different parts of the neck as I could. I quickly ran out of high B’s and played the last one with a flick of my nail…haha. Something else that I thought was cool was as 1:36, 1:43 (and beyond). He plays these really cool syncopations before hitting the root note. He plays with a pick and they come across pretty powerfully. I emulated this by playing triplets off of the string above which matches the rhythm, if not the power and force, of Tom’s syncopations. I saw Cheap Trick for the first time probably….15 years ago, or more, when the opened for Cake. I was blown away by them…Cake, not so much. We’ve seen them a number of times since then and they’ve been consistently good. I’m playing the old Guild B-301 with the Babicz bridge and (near)Zero-Mod Thumb-rest.
