Back in June, 2014, our very own Josh Jones took us on an audio tour of five great rock bassists, breaking down the styles of Paul McCartney, Sting, John Deacon, John Paul Jones & Geddy Lee. If you got into the groove of that post, you’ll almost certainly enjoy watching bassist Marc Najjar, accompanied by Nate Bauman on drums, taking you through 100 great bass riffs. The rhythm duo covers 60 years of music history, in 17 minutes, just below.

The riffs were notably performed in one continuous take, with a Sandberg Umbo HCA Crème bass. (Find more gear used in the video here.) And the clip was put together by the Chicago Music Exchange, the same folks who assembled the 2012 viral video, A History of Rock ‘n’ Roll in 100 Guitar Riffs. They also sold me a sweet acoustic guitar that same year.

You can find a complete list of the riffs, and the songs from which they came, below. (Click the “more” link to see them, if they’re not already visible.)  Please note that the bass sounds a little muted at the outset, but it quickly comes to the fore.
