Nathan East, who was the bassist for Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, and others performed on the studio recording for this uptempo hit song by Phil Collins. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Lee Sklar @lelandsklar6363 performed the song on several tours with Phil over the decades. He recorded himself playing along with a recording of this song on tour here (and it's definitely worth a watch):

It was a fun song to learn and super fun to play because the bass line is such a distinctive instrument on this track.

My daughter, Gemma, encouraged me to play this on "Honeyburst" because I've been playing my Ibanez so much lately. She thought it was getting a little neglected. Still love the G&L.

I recorded this using a 5-string 2021 G&L L-2500 bass guitar into a Fender Rumble Stage 800 amp. I recorded the audio from the amp's DI direct to GarageBand and synced the video from a iPhone 12 Pro Max forward facing camera.
