Dave Turner - Theatre Bassist's video: David Lee Roth Billy Sheehan : Tobacco Road - ISOLATED BASS ONLY Eat em and Smile 5 of 8

In this video I recreate Billy Sheehan's bass line to the David Lee Roth song "Tobacco Road", from the 1986 album "Eat 'em and Smile." Again I must apologize for this video not including the original music - David Lee Roth blocks content like that, so here is the bass line. See the full, unblocked version HERE: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNG-z1rgUMg/ You'll notice the bass sounds extra gritty and clanky on it's own - this is normal when using overdrive like the EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive pedal. When the bass is mixed in, a lot of that "clack" goes away. There are a few sections where I had a hard time hearing what Billy was doing, and my fills may be inaccurate. If you have the December 1986 issue of "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" and can possibly scan the bass part, I'll send you a small donation through PayPal - thanks! I do not own this music.
