Carol Kaye Gives Away Guitar And Electric Bass Secrets In Radio Interview

In a great NPR interview Carol Kaye not only tells about how she started playing jazz guitar and became an innovative electric bass player, but she also plays live on guitar and electric bass. Actually it’s more a music lesson about how pop music was played in the sixties than just an interview.

If you love the music of the sixties make sure to listen to it. You get first hand information from the woman who recorded with Ray Charles, Sam Cook, The Doors, Ritchie Valens, Joe Cocker, Barbara Streisand, the Beach Boys and many others.
