In today’s video Ian Allison takes an in-depth look at Peter Gabriel’s 1986 record, So. Released on 19th May 1986, the album captured some of Tony Levin’s most memorable bass lines including his multi-part line on Don’t Give Up, and his slick, fretless fills on the lead single, Sledgehammer.
We’ve also put together a free workbook for you to download, which contains tab and notation for every bass line that Ian features in the video. From Red Rain and Mercy Street to Sledgehammer and Big Time.
In this lesson you’ll learn:
- How to recreate Tony Levin’s monster bass tone.
- Why Tony shoved one of his daughter’s diapers under his bass strings.
- His system of hitting the strings with drum sticks (wait for it!)
- And much more!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

You could seriously do a whole series just on Tony Levin albums.

In regards to the creative environment that Peter Gabriel allowed, Peter has always been, and remains, a strong proponent of inventiveness in music. It's one of the reasons he is a legend and works with legends like Tony.

When I try to describe Tony Levin's playing I always think he comes up with a line, then starts pulling notes out to create space. One of the most recognizable bassists I've ever heard.

Tony Levin - genius, so creative and never imposes himself of the music - but despite that is so influential

Peter Gabriel one of the most creative musical geniuses in modern times.

Sledgehammer bass line gives me goose bumps every time! Absolute class! That whole track is an absolute masterpiece in every way.

King Crimson ‘discipline’ is the game changer

Ian, if someone ever asks me “is playing bass fun?” - I would just point them to this video. Brilliant once again! 👍👍👍

My band was recording at Bearsville in Woodstock NY back in 89 and there were some technical issues with both my 78 stingray and my 60 P-Bass. The staff at B-ville started reaching out to the locals for a loner bass so we could continue while my bases we being fixed.we were able to get a very early Steinberger and one of Tony's StingRays. I was so greatful and the session was able to continue. It was such a honor just to hold one of my favorite bass players basses. The next day my basses were fixed and the sessions continued.
I met Tony one other time a super nice guy and an incredible bass player.

I've know personally Tony, when he came to my hometown (Padova, Italy) maaaaany years ago, to attend a very particular musical event. A 45-hour long session of improvisation, with no interruptions! (You could swap musicians on stage, of course, as long as the music never stopped!).
He was a true gentleman, easygoing and fun. When he saw me arriving with an upright he asked me if he could borrow it but after he tried it a bit he said "nah, way too many years that I haven't been practicing it" and gave it back to me. No problems whatsoever in admitting he was out of shape (on that particular instrument... on the electric bass he just KILLED and yes, he had his "funk fingers" with him!) Oh, and at one point, waaay into the wee hours, he even did some meditation, on stage!

I'm blown away hearing this music again and realizing how incredible it is and the unmatched talent of Tony Levin. His creative bass lines are definitely the secret sauce to the "So" album.

Tony Levin is such a monster. His work with King Crimson is even more unreal! T Lev with KC is actually the reason I picked up bass originally!

I was very fortunate to work with Tony on the YES Union album. Aside from being the most ridiculous badass on anything resembling a bass, he is also quite simply one of the nicest humans I have ever met. I particularly liked when he was strapping cut off pieces of 2B drumsticks to his middle and index fingers to smack the strings! So great, you're the best Tony!

Tony Levin... what a talent! Saw him with Crimson, Gabriel, Yes, and even heard him lay down the jazz with Gary Burton. A true professional!

"So" is a masterpiece.

Tony Levin is arguably one of the most influential and creative bass players in the last 50 years or so.... I love his sound, I love his groove and his immense sense of melody... and the guy looks so cool... so relaxed... Thank you so much for sharing all this stuff... and, by the way, I agree with CrazJay2... you are a great add to SBL... I like so much the way you teach things and how relaxed you are... Cheers from Switzerland...

Tony Levin - The Bass Master. I loved his playing with the great Peter Gabriel on this classic 1986 album and I still love it (and his playing) in 2020.🌞🙏🇬🇧🌞

This album is up there with the best there is, and Tony’s bass playing is a huge part of what makes that so.

As a drummer, you always want to play with a killer bass player. And man, it doesn’t get better than TLev.

35 years later and the So album still reminds me just how great music can be. What a breathtaking artistic accomplishment that album is.
