Yea bitch ik where u live
I have heard his name before but never listened to his music. I had even seen some short clips of him playing but I never took the time to actually check him out.
Last night at 1:30am I was bored and decided to look him up on YouTube. I found an hour long video of him discussing his “thumpin’ and pluckin’ “ technique while he played some songs.
That man is an animal. My jaw was on the floor. Sure I’ve seen plenty of people play the slap technique and they’re good but Larry Graham adds so much flair and feel to his playing that it can’t be matched.
He’s also incredibly smart and creative for his reasons behind his great invention. Not only did he invent the slap technique, he also perfected it. I am now a huge fan of Larry Graham and must now find a way to keep up my college grades while jamming to this man's awesome grooves.
Hi bass gang, this is my tribute to the grandmaster of Slap, Larry Graham. Would love to hear your thoughts... stay funky! Thankyou in advance to everyone who listened. Cheers

I thought I was a huge Larry Graham fan and I got “small talk” on vinyl today (one of my favorite albums) and read the liner notes. Larry Graham is not on “small talk” but it sounds like the bass sound I’ve always associated with Larry is super present. I started reading stuff online and I read that Sly basically recorded “there’s a riot” by himself minus a couple horns etc. That article specifically mentions Sly’s bass playing as being the backbone of sly and the family stone.
Here’s my question for those in the know...I’ve always listed Larry Graham as one of my favorites/ greatest influences, (I’m in my late 40s), should I be listing Sly as my influence?
P.s. I know Larry is awesome. I love graham central station but my influence comes from the Sly albums.
So Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick had been writing all of the Supermassive games from Until Dawn to Man of Medan. I noticed now that they didn’t write Little Hope.
Could they possibly be working on a bigger Supermassive game that requires their full attention? Or are they just doing their own thing? Anyone know?
This bassist was mainly responsible for the popping Funk style of bass.

Do we know if they’re writing all the Dark Pictures games? I loved their work on Until Dawn and I’m a huge fan of Fessenden’s films and his Glass Eye Pix productions. His stuff is massively underrated and almost always interesting (Last Winter is my favorite), so I’m happy to see him getting continued work!
