question for dc10bass
when you play non who stuff does your playing style change or is there always a bit of john in there. just curious.
I've been playing bass since I was 15... 22 years total.
From the start I had modeled my playing after Entwistles as a way to gauge my progress.
To answer your question, when I play original material or other people’s music there is a heavy Entwistle feel to it, except for when I play tunes from Cream.
Entwistle & Bruce liked to bend the strings and had strong right hands…
I also don’t throw in the Entwistle triplets and hammer-ons while playing Cream.
Jack also liked to do occasional “upward strumming” during the live jams.
I am a bit OCD so it helps with dissecting and separating their playing styles…
They are my two favorite players and both influential in my playing style.
