This LEGENDARY BASS LINE Is SO EPIC-It's Hard to BELIEVE a HUMAN Played It! | Professor of Rock

Bass players don’t always get the credit they deserve when it comes to hit songs. A lot of it comes down to their role—laying down the foundation of the track in a lower frequency range that isn’t always front and center. To the casual listener, the bass can feel like it’s just hanging out in the background while the melody and vocals steal the spotlight. But the truth is, a killer bass line is what gives a song its groove and holds everything together. Up next I’m going to attempt the impossible... Naming 5 of the most killer bass lines of the rock era, including the guitar riff by Cream that probably invented heavy metal and is played by guitarists all the time in guitar shops around the globe... but it’s actually a bass riff! Plus a killer bass line by Queen that tops dozens of lists of the greatest baselines ever… but the band admittedly ripped it off the disco band Chic. In fact that disco band’s bass line is the most sampled and ripped-off piece of music ever. We get the stories next on Professor of Rock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Producer Brandon Fugal Honorary Producers Kimberley Rumburg, Brent Gephart, Glenn Beardmore, Jennifer Selvidge, Carl Curcuruto, Thomas Williams ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out my Hand Picked Selection Below Professor's Store Van Halen OU812 Vinyl Album https://amzn.to/3tLsII2 The 80s Collection https://amzn.to/3mAekOq 100 Best Selling Albums https://amzn.to/3h3qZX9 Ultimate History of 80s Teen Movie https://amzn.to/3ifjdKQ 80s to 90s VHS Video Cover Art https://amzn.to/2QXzmIX Totally Awesome 80s A Lexicon https://amzn.to/3h4ilrk Best In Ear Headphones (I Use These Every Day) https://amzn.to/2ZcTlIl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out The Professor of Rock Merch Store -http://bit.ly/ProfessorMerch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out Patron Benefits http://bit.ly/ProfessorofRockVIPFan Help out the Channel by purchasing your albums through our links!

I’m talking about “Tom Sawyer” by Geddy Lee and Rush: When it comes to prog-rock giants, Rush is stacked with top-tier musicians at each position. Neil Peart on drums? Unparalleled. Alex Lifeson on guitar? Absolutely elite. But if there’s one member who might be the most accomplished in his field, it’s the humble genius, Geddy Lee on bass. He’s easily one of the greatest bass players to ever walk the earth. Today, we’re diving into his isolated bass track on Rush’s classic Tom Sawyer—and if you’re a musician, it’s nothing short of mind-blowing. The bass guitar often gets an unfair reputation as the "boring" instrument in a band, but its role is absolutely crucial. It sets the rhythm, keeps everything locked in, and guides both the band and the audience without demanding the spotlight. But then there are bassists like Geddy Lee—players who don’t just hold down the groove but take off at full speed, launching the song, the band, and the crowd into overdrive. For Tom Sawyer, Geddy swapped out his Rickenbacker 4001 for a Fender Jazz Bass he picked up at a pawn shop with incredible results. It just goes to show you that you don’t have to pay inflated prices to create magic. One of the most challenging parts of Geddy Lee’s bassline in “Tom Sawyer” is its syncopation. Instead of sticking to predictable downbeats, he leans into the offbeats, creating a push-and-pull feel that adds to the song’s deceptive complexity. The rhythm isn’t just a simple groove—it’s packed with offbeat accents and intricate syncopation that demand razor-sharp precision. Locking in with Neil Peart’s elaborate drum patterns is no easy feat, but Geddy makes it sound effortless. Geddy’s right-hand technique is key to the punchy tone of the “Tom Sawyer” bassline. His aggressive attack and dynamic accents make each note pop.
