Totally agree. I didn’t realize it. Whoever gave this a thumbs down, they need a hug or a brain. Really nicely done, Greg. The tabs help. I might give this one a go.
The reason why I like this song cause i heard this when I was in the 3rd grade living in Oakland and was going to a baby sitter.for some reason as a kid this song always make me think of that old sitcom "The Partridge Family"i think its that prince looking outfit they have on when they start singing and playing instruments.The image of them comes when that psycho delic sound comes on.Its that guitar or synthesizer sound.And you played that baseline perfect.Just flawless.
@@BassCovers yes sir, you're welcome. I'm no musician by any means, but I have an ear for it, and the bass has always been my favorite part to hear. The drums may set the tempo, but a solid bass - in my opinion - is the soul of any good jam. Salute and thank you for doing the music right. I'm a new fan!
Hi there , i am a car mechanic in Germany and i dont know a shit about playing an instrument or even about music ! BUT i came to this song via JACKIE BROWN . Tarantino used this song as background while Ordel was murdering Livingston. Cruel but also Coooool scene. And the music remind me always about coolnes. I always wanted to see how this bass has to be played to get this sound. THANK YOU for showing . That looks like brain surgery for me , i dont even see how you hit the strings ....i mean which finger is hitting the string...... Is it the thump ? Again thank you for teaching others ,who can play a guitar. Big respect.
Greg Fairweather All good, thank you! Greg, would it be possible to do move me no mountain by Chaka Khan? It would be greatly appreciated. Best regards 👍🏾🙏🏿
Hi Trevor. All good here...hope it is there as well ;) I just had a listen to the tune. What part are you struggling with? I've got 3 tunes I'm ready to make videos for in the next day or two and I few others in the wait. It would be a few days before I would have a chance to do anything on it, and I have to be honest too, the tune doesn't do much for me...
Hi Greg, I think you're the most suitable person to do a transcription of George Duke - "6 O'Clock". Bass player is Larry Kimpel. Please think about it :-)
hey Anton, thanks for the request. It's a good song with a great groove. Unfortunately, I have so many requests that I have to give first priority to those who support me financially. I'm sure you understand ;) Thanks again :)
Hi netpoon, I used a Compressor, PeakLimiter and little bit of Chorus. In the EQ I rolled back a lot of the low end. I've never owned a set of flat wounds. I can't remember if I've ever even tried flat wounds on an electric before? I've always just used round wounds. I hope that helps...thanks! :)
@@BassCovers Thanks for the help! i've got flatwounds on mine cause I read james jamerson had them, and I wanted to sound like him - it's harder to slap tho
Hi Samuel! :) Thanks for the request. I can do a typical lesson for you where I play the tune and then play it a little slower. I'll add it to the list...thanks! :)
Hi Samuel...I'm sorry but that I can't/won't do. No offense to you, but in my opinion, if you need to slow a song down that much and can't play it with the notation and TAB in front of you, then the song is probably too difficult for you at this time and you need to work your way up to it ;) Don't feel bad about this. There are songs that have taken me years to learn! :) Find other songs you can use as "stepping stones" ;)

This song has so many subtle nuances, and you captured them all. Well done!
Hi Sharon, thank you very much. This one was a handful, but good one to learn..thanks!
Totally agree. I didn’t realize it. Whoever gave this a thumbs down, they need a hug or a brain. Really nicely done, Greg. The tabs help. I might give this one a go.
Underrated, this is one of the best bass covers I have ever heard.
cool...thank you very much :)
This song was like Magic, listening to it on FM radio growing up in Bethesda MD in late 70s..Great memories
It's great how music can transport us in time :)
One of my favorite songs growing up. A real treat to watch you play this.

Hi Brian! I'm really glad you like it...thanks for letting me know...cheers! :)

Excellent ! You play in a relaxed style, no rushes. And very funky !

thank you :)
Big thanks! Wanted to say, but i see you are doing tabs at the top side nowadays :)
you're welcome...cheers!
Mann! Have you ever played for any known artists or even any heard you play and say come jamm with us.if you say No.i'm a unbeliever.
haha...nope, don't think so? :)
Would you consider doing "Booty" by Here Come the Mummies? I can't find a score, tab, or bass cover anywhere, and it's a great funk tune.
hi Gregory, thanks for the request. I only have time for "paid supporter" requests at the moment though...thanks!
Muito bom!
hi Rodolpho! Thanks ;)
Olá Greg... não há de quê! Continue com o bom trabalho. Abs
Amazing lesson!!! Can you make a tutorial on Stomp from Johnson brothers? Thank you!!!
thank you Apollo. Have you seen the cover I did? th-cam.com/video/xJOph01IK-M/w-d-xo.html
Hi Greg, hope your in good health! Would it be possible to do I want you for myself by George Duke?
Struggling with this one.

subbed

His nickname was Thunder Thumbs.

Hello ,thank you for great lesson! it's very helpful , and if it's possible, SYLVERS 'COME BACK LOVER" please.
I'll check it out...thanks!
Got to give the the bass some respect 😂😮😂
haha...thanks!

The end of the song sounded good as you kept playing the baseline while song slowly fading away from the baseline.
thanks :)
I have a Sire v7 Marcus Miller Jazz Bass.
cool...do you like it?
I am trying to get my band to do this song Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson.
I've never heard that one played live before. Let me know how it goes.
What the instrument sound in the very beginning?
Some sort of keyboard or synth I would guess?
Play the slow isolated bass part on .75 speed, now that's entertainment folks.
Hi Greg, can I ask if you had a chorus pedal on this? Or some other effect?
Hi Dave, yes there was a little bit of chorus and compression on that track. Good hear ;) Thanks!
@@BassCovers It sounds great. The chorus gives it that liquid feeling on top of your smooth playing. Love it!
Thanks :) That's a great description of what a chorus pedal does..."liquid feeling". I like that...thanks :)
great lesson, how did you set up your tone to get that sound? also any tips for getting that sound on flat wounds?
Hi netpoon, I used a Compressor, PeakLimiter and little bit of Chorus. In the EQ I rolled back a lot of the low end.
I've never owned a set of flat wounds. I can't remember if I've ever even tried flat wounds on an electric before? I've always just used round wounds. I hope that helps...thanks! :)

Can you play Disco Nights by GQ?
I'm not sure, I'll check it out ;)
Can you please do a slow tutorial video for "for once in my life " by Steve wonder??
YOG
Hi Samuel! :) Thanks for the request. I can do a typical lesson for you where I play the tune and then play it a little slower. I'll add it to the list...thanks! :)
Greg Fairweather oooommmmggg yes please 🙏🏿🙌🏿😊😊🎸😍😍😍
YOG
Greg Fairweather please go extra slow on the tutorial video so i can see and distinguish the notes🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😍🎸

Greg Fairweather no i just wanted to make sure. I will be able to follow along with you
YOG
This would sound good with lyrics only and your baseline.
maybe some drums too? :)
can you do "i'll be with you" ` cameo
I'm not sure? I'll check it out.
U so good it pisses me off..😂😂😂great job
haha...thanks man :)
God this is so hard
hehe...it's a little tricky. Keep at it :)
Damn those mutings are hard to execute properly
hi! In which part are you referring? Maybe I can help?
Did you know that Louis Johnson passed away?
Yes I did :(
Bass is hands down better than guitar
haha...I think so too :)
oh yeah nothing to it.. ffs :o
haha :P
great job!
Thanks for the visit :)
