Why is he dressed as the tf2 scout
Boink
I'm running circles around you!
Real nice jackass!
Tf2 takes place in the 70s
JayBee yeah real nice try doich bag
As a metal guy I never really listened to funk and disco but after playing in high school jazz band I realize now that it’s so fun to crank out some funky jams
Whats it with bassists loving synthesizers and synthesists loving bass guitar. Maybe because with either you can lay down a pretty tight groove
Seg@fredo so true
Cos that's the groove man
Bass and synths complete each other
Keyboards are my 1st instrument, Bass is my 2nd. In my first bands, we never had a bass guitarist, so I did synth bass with my left hand. That got me used to the concept of basslines, and playing synth bass trained my left hand for fretting later on.
elsongs I did some EDM and bought bass guitar, because you can’t replace that sound with keyboards. Best bass sound imo comes from a bass guitar and when amp cabinet is microphoned, not di.
“Play that funky music white boy”
No Chic bassline is complete without a Nile Rodgers chicken scratch guitar riff.
I personally would NOT classify "Billie Jean" as Disco, more 80's pop IMO. One bass line that SHOULD have been included is "Car Wash" by Rose Royce.
5:02 Fun Fact: The entirety of Don’t Stop Til’ You Get Enough consists of only 2 chords, (with the exception of the bridge) Just goes to show the true genius of Michael & his team. :)
Gelo Galvez Another fun fact: the bridge for Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough was written by keyboardist Greg Phillinganes. MJ refused to share songwriting credit, which cost him millions of dollars. (There is an early pressing of the single that does list Phillinganes as co-writer, but he never saw a dime of royalties from the song.)
(The bridge contains much more than 2 chords)
@@IrnBruNYC damn
@@IrnBruNYC listen the real demo, Mj gave food to greg, he should stop to lie after Mj dead. Mj gave him food + a song hit ' behind the mask " but where is the genie ? he couldnt be a singer star like he dreamed even like u said he s " genius " . where are u greggggg ?
I thoght the intro was Another One Bites The Dust
John Deacon was actually inspired by Bernard Edwards' bassline on "Good Times" to make "Another One Bites The Dust."
and don't forget rappers delight
Same XD
Same!
same lol
4:06 Not kidding, you're literally just repeating the word "butt" in Portuguese lol
Bunda? 😂 Eu sou mexicano mas eu posso falar um pouco de português
Se usa popozuda em Brasil tambem! Kukuk. Más gosto muito de bunda
Disco bass lines sounds so punchy and fresh ...
For me, McFadden and Whitehead "Ain't no Stopping us now" has the most iconic disco bassline of all time
Andrelino, true that! Excellent choice.
If you’re thinking of “The Queen,” they copied it from “The Chic.”
And did a great job ;)
@@flappymlg3607 Oh yeah. They did a great "the job."
Both of them are great!
And Nile Rodgers said in an interview that he "stole" it from his cousin Spike Mickens who played with Kool and the gang.
@@miscellaneous1276 The both of the them are the great yeah.
The bass line of Good times by the chic sounds so similar to rapper's delighted
should I SLAP like?
damn right!

What about Boogie Oogie Oogie by Taste of Honey? The bass lines you played are great but I cannot think of a more iconic disco bass line than Boogie Oogie Oogie. Janice Marie Johnson is a helluva bass player.
so true. . what other #1 hit has a bad ass bass solo in the intro of a song. .
If you EVER do a part 2, you need to do "Blame it on the Boogie" by the Jacksons PLEASE
Don't over look "do ya think I'm sexy" Phil Chen is a master!!!
And please don't forget I Want You Back, there's an awesome intro...
definitely should
With Doctor Mix I really did expect him to throw in some Italo Disco! Like: Pino D'Angio - Ma Quale Idea
Great bass line in that one, and a really fun tune!
👏
The difference between really good and great vidoes isnt always the content. In your case its your enthousiasm. Im subbing!!
Your videos are as informative as they are entertaining. 🙏
I wouldn’t have recognised Stayin’ Alive from the bass riff because the guitar part is the memorable bit there
At least for me
4:01 That 2 note Disco line is why I came here. 😂😂😂😂😂. It was just in my head this morning, and I said to myself,
"I wonder how that goes". So I came to TH-cam. Lol! Thanks.
As a bass player, I just have to SLAPP like on here! Now SLAP the bass! Don't just fingerpick it! Although, I will say that your bass skills are probably much better than my synth/keyboard playing skills. However, after watching all your videos, you've inspired me indeed! Thanks DrMix!
A multitalented groover! I was quite impressed with all the syncopated bass riffs Dr Mix played on his keys, but this stuff here is solid!
This channel is of great quality. Good job bro
There are Too many good disco tracks !!
No 9: Stomp! Brothers Johnson
Yes, Louis Johnson!
My personal list:
- You should be dancing - Bee gees
- chic - Le freak
- let's groove - earth wind and fire
- last train to london - ELO
- Tonight - Kool and the gang
- let's go dancing - kool and the gang
There's nothing better than a disco bassline riff.
My god i loved this video!! Ur an inspiration spreader!!
Omar Hakim "the drum machine" behind "The chic".
One of the most underrated drummers in history.
Jerónimo Rodríguez wasn’t it Tony Thompson? I agree that he was the most underrated drummer. So tight and in the pocket!!
@@Sumbibebe Right ! I I'm a big fan of Tony (and Nile & Bernard of course) But Omar also played live with Chic
The original bass player for Billie Jean (Louis Johnson) did actually play the octave F# until the verse starts where the synth bass takes over
Greetings from Guatemala City. The heart of the mayan world!!!
Disco battle with @davie504. Slapp like now, for an epicc battle!
Dr Mix bass player - new respect
btw that Jazz neck could do with a nice drink of linseed oil.
Go on give her a treat ...
I’ve been thinking more about The Sugarhill Gang rather than Queen.
Boogie oogie oogi (artist?) .
.. The Stones 'Miss You' (...uh ... is that disco?) ... 'If you want my body' ... Rod Stewart ...
Stephen Lennartz That would be Janice Marie Johnson of Taste of Honey.
@@arnoldcaines9012 Thx Arnold!
Sir, you are correct on all 3 points. I kinda stuck with this to hear Boogie Oogie Oogie-not here. Yes, Miss You. And Phil Chen is the guy who did the bass line on Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? (great bass line on that one)
Same here. I was SURE Boogie Oogie Oogie was going to be part of this video! Lol
The BEST part of this video is seeing you enjoy yourself! Great song choices :)
Chic and Sugarhill Gang performing Good Times/Rapper’s Delight live goes so hard
The smiths is very good disco music in my opinion and their bass lines are awesome
Oh yeah yeah!
Check out the bass line in Duran Duran's Sound of thunder. (John Taylor was a student of Bernard Edwards btw
"unmatched by any bassist in the world"
Every metal bassist ever: *hold my fuckin beer*
Nah, Bernard Edwards is king.
I came for Disco Inferno, was not disappointed. Yeah, it's my favorite disco bass line.
Nice work, some classics to work on here - thanks Ace!
You’re almost Mark King ! Great to see you doing this. Every new vid from you I’ll keep and watch in the evening and cannot sit still :)
Hahaha!! Thanks
Billie jean needs both the low and high octave for the first note! Loved the video though! Nevermind as I'm typing this you covered it.
First AND fourth!
he didnt do both?
Of course you play Sister Sledge... that was Edwards too! (Obvious listening to it that was like a Chic record)
I was born in 1984, so disco was before my time. But The Nights on Broadway is such a great song. I'm discovering disco through a friend at work, and now your channel. Very nice to see this variety!
You're right about Billie Jean. It's all about that transition from traditional bass guitar to analogue synths in the late 70's early 80's. Billie Jean was a superb example of that. I was in a band that did a version of it - not an easy tune to cover I can tell you! Awesome. (Oh, not sure whether it's a classic disco track like Chic, but it's close enough! :0)
I was trying to trace the origin of the bass line on the first song. I got as far as Sugarhill Gang Rapper's Delight but thanks to this video I found that was just using the bass line to Chic Good Times. My favourite are remixes of disco tunes that have been touched by the modern deep bass/kick house sound.
PLEASE CHECK THESE BASSLINES
Glide - Pleasure
Expansions - Lonnie Liston Smith
Dancing In Outta Space - Atmosfear
Touch Of Love - Slave
I really enjoy videos.
Nice strings!
Interesting sound coming from that combination.
+Doctor Mix Oh man, I was just about to slam Billie Jean but before I could nudge my glasses up and write "Dear internet ----" you saved it with the low octave. That riff is deceptively hard to play in tempo and live. I think "Off the Wall" deserves and honorable mention as well.
Man, you are fun to watch. Keep it up. Just subbed
"Let's start with The Schick" Hahaha I crack up the way you say "Chic". 1:11 1:36
Actually I needed the first chic bass and I didn't know where to find it.
Now I just sampled you! Thanks!
Hey! Mr, Cowbell! Greetings from Central America! Guatemala City!
I came here precisely to look for the line at min 4:00 and I share that same enthusiasm lol soo satisfying
Love it! NEXT!!!!
I love your energy and all your videos. Keep it up my friend!
Just as I was going to ask about Billie Jean's inconspicuous synth bass, you deliver. Great stuff, gotta love me a good jazz bass too!
Don't leave me this way by Thelma Houston was always my favorite disco bass line. Surprised it wasn't mentioned here.
Voulez-Vous by ABBA has a great bassline and a great synth bassline! Plus ABBA is as disco as it gets.
I remember the disco era very well, there is a lot of complacated songs for a bass player in disco, you have to be deep into the pocket for it to sound good.
Doctor Mix, what about Ladies Night by Kool & The Gang, or We Are Family by sister Sledge? Those both have kick ass bass lines. And how can you possibly forget Get Down Tonight by KC And The Sunshine Band? Another amazing bass line, and the only way a person isn't dancing to that one is if they are already dead!
Michael Jackson - Get On The Floor: The BEST bassline EVER!!
My favorite MJ album cut!!!!
Everything you play are great!
God bless U Brow
I wasn't thinking Queen on that Good times riff, I was thinking "Rapper's Delight" from the Sugar Hill Gang...
Rapper's Delight is technically disco
@@aristotleasparaguspodcast1129 True and the video is about famous disco basslines.
I've loved those Chic baselines so much my entire life that when I began shaving I naturally used a Chic brand razor!
OH YEA!!! Bass guitarist here you got my attention, my groovy brother!! Thank you for all your videos, recording is a whole lot different than the last time I did it. The last time was a 4-track and cassette tapes, ha, ha, ha! There is a lot I am learning from you and I appreciate it greatly, you are a wonderful teacher and really cool down to earth, creative loving being, Namaste, peace be with you and much love my friend!
Thanks so much man!
At last I thought you're gonna do "He's The Greatest Dancer" when you said "Sister Sledge"
Pure Awesomeness
fantastic, if u make another, explain the tuning subtleties please.
I have a Fender P-Bass, Washburn Force ABT, Fender Squier and a gorgeous black and cream Gibson Les Paul
John Taylor says he was being influenced by the Disco Octave sounds in the late 70's early 80's... I hear Duran Duran's Rio in Sister Sledge's "We are Family".... both great baselines.....
Wuaooo Doctor Mix !!!
VERY IMPRESSIVE
Love it! Dude, you are so infectious, you just seem to have so much fun with this stuff :) 😂👏👏
Oh Claudio - you're missing the essential ghost notes on Good Times! Just use two left-hand fingers to mute the string so that it Thuds with no harmonics.
oh OK! Any video that shows what you're saying please?
Yes Claudio, this one is good. Most of them leave it out because it takes so much longer to get it right. The most important bit is the first four notes on the open E string. The first three notes are open short but the fourth is muted. So - Boom, Boom, Boom, Uh!. Remember, you must use two finger to mute or you will get string harmonics.

Hey dude, I see you can play Keys and bass, what other instruments have you thrown your hands to?
Man you do really make my day with your videos, you don't just play some of my favorite music from the 80s/90s like disco and funky but you also play it so very damn well and, man, keyboards, bass guitar... are you related to Mike Oldfield???
Keep up and thank you for your great videos
Giovanni
I like to see how one does the "WOW" effect on an electric guitar. I heard that on some mid/late 60's music.
That’s was awesome!
the september one is wrong. E not F.
Close enough for me. Being exact has less value. Even Verdine White changes it up when he plays.
Cool cat
@@Sumbibebe I get changing it up but it's not like it's a fill. It's just the wrong note in the line that he always plays.
Yes Sir, 'We are Family' ; Fantastic. Mr Bernard Edwards is the Daddy. However: 'Belga Bass', here on U-Tube, is bang on the money.
Nice video. I´m only missing a drum mashine or o metronome in the background. This could emphasize more the laid back beats.
Dang your bass sounds fire!
You should have put Sister Sledge's (Bernard Edward's) "He's the greatest dancer"...
Chic has no definite article in their appelation, they are simply called Chic not The Chic. Same thing with Queen. Other than that it's a pretty good list. I only wish you added Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen (bass by Freddy Washington). We are family is basically Chic with Sister Sledge. Bernard Edwards is a monster bassist.
Queen indeed take the bassline from Bernie Edwards
And Michael Jackson also take the bassline for Billie Jean from Hall & Oates "I can't go for that"
Love it! Funky!!!! Sister Sledge - Greatest Dancer please
Me after watching the intro...
TRIPLE CAMERA CONFIRMED!
I had half of these in my repertoir already. Great list, I'm adding the rest immediately.
Nice and Funky! Bernard would be pleased :)
The Michael Jackson part was missing a song. I think P.Y.T would be a better fit (I know, the bass line is done by a Moog synth, but hey, it is damn funky).
Is the bassline of September an F (what you play which sounds right) or E(which is theoretically correct but who cares)?
Loved this, inspiring me to learn the glue instrument, [imitates Adam Neely's video ending] *BASS*.
I'm 99% sure it's E to F# and that he's just playing it wrong with the F, F#.
Oh Chic are my favourite too, can’t love Claudio more, want to hear him play all day
Real cool bass jamming!!
On Billie Jean, Luis Johnson would play the 2 strings only on the 1. And yes, the synth played bass like you showed.
Bernard Edwards lives in my soul. I even bought a MusicMan Stingray (soon to arrive) in his honor.
Claudio, U Bad Ass Bass!!
grass grows, the sun shines, and brother, i lay it down
like that stuff! music of my youth :)
Great job on The Chic bass line.
The Sugarhill Gang used this riff before Queen did on their track “Rappers Delight”.
Also check out The XX's track “Swept Away” bass line great...
Lee Mearns The Sugar Hill Gang just cloned Chic. That is why they got sued and later they reached a deal. It was cloned.
