first off 

Yes I Know Geddy Lee

Second Off

Yes I know Chris Squire 

But having played Rush, Yes and ELP basslines ELP stood out as the most complicated hardest too work out and by far hardest too play. Kieth Emersons left hand plays some of the most difficult sequences of notes imaginable on Keyboard, and Greg Lake translates this too Bass guitar, harder and much more complicated, Tarkus, Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression and The Endless Enigma are prime examples of how complicated Lakes bass playing got. 


Other Greats

Richard Sinclair
Mont Campbell
Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond
