Grzegorz Kosi?ski – Meditation (Bass solo with loop station)
Jan 22, 2011 sweep picking
I know that some of you may say that this solo is weird and that it is not the bass guitar to play like that, but first – if this guitar can play like that, is to say that you may play like that, and second – only by breaking stereotypes, by combining styles and techniques, through the syncretism of forms, we can get something new, original and better – the one who copies the style of the others, it is predictable and not make the art of music anything that was pushing the story forward.
“Meditation” song was composed by me in this year. Recorded for 7-string Conklin bass guitar with loop station, zoom multieffect and drum machine. Max. 9 basses at the same time.
The main technique I usually use is two-handed tapping, but in this case I use the others, such as one-handed tapping, scratch, picking, sweep picking, fingering or ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ harmonics. Effects I used are: reverb, distortion, delay and acoustic (some mixed together).
I hope You`ll enjoy it.
Cheers!

PS22 Chorus “DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’” by JOURNEY
Sep 29, 2009 amazing bass solos
http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com
Another request from the kids (Elijah and Jared, the soloist on “Eye Of The Tiger”), and even from some PS22 Chorus fans too. The song, Don’t Stop Believin’ is an eighties classic, and the fifth grade chorus extraordinaire deliver some rather outstanding harmonies to recreate it into something different and pretty darn special! Another surprise favorite of the year! And soloist Elijah gives Steve Perry a run for his money, doing a rockin’ job with his amazing talent!
According to i-Tunes, Journey’s “signature song, ‘Don’t Stop Believing’, is the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history, at more than two million downloads”. Maybe this will help score a few more…. 
Should be noted that Journey once included American Idol judge Randy Jackson on bass and background vocals, although he came into the group after the release of this mega-hit.
Again, according to Wikipedia, the song has appeared in a number of film and television series, including The Wedding Singer, Family Guy, Monster, Shrek the Halls, Bedtime Stories, Yes Dear, The Comebacks, View from the Top, South Park, Cold Case, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, My Name Is Earl, Just Shoot Me, Laguna Beach, American Idol, Scrubs, The Sopranos, and Glee

PS22 Chorus VIVA LA VIDA by Coldplay acoustic guitar version
Sep 2, 2009 guitar solos
http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com
The PS22 Chorus of 2009 has some fun with Coldplay’s Grammy nominated song Viva La Vida, the amazing new hit single from the album of the same name. Hope it sweeps the Grammies! I love watching them sing this one, and it has kind of a different sound and feel on the guitar than the previously posted piano and acapella versions, so I thought it merited YouTubeage….
April sings the solo and sounds better than ever on this one.
The PS22 Chorus consists of about 60 fifth graders and have sung with Tori Amos, Crowded House, among many others. Visit our above website to find out more about these amazing New York City public school kids.
Coldplay’s new album comes highly recommended, featuring the songs:
01 Life in Technicolor
02 Cemeteries of London
03 Lost!
04 42
05 Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love
06 Yes
07 Viva la Vida
