[@rockereivanivan]

I'm just learning about scales and the first scale I'm learning is D Major and I saw this song is in that scale and I tried to learn it by ear and watching this I wasn't that far from the real thing :D

[@maximejuignet6045]

[@maj27]

[@rob0t0]

Awesome cover! It would be really great if you tried something by Chic,they have some really funky bass lines.I'd really like to hear 'I want Your Love'.

[@infusion26]

[@deeronbass1194]

Great! Which bass did you use in this video?

[@infusion26]

Lakland 44-02 Bass.

[@jamesrdavis2290]

don't Know witch I like better LP record version or this one but dame good

[@raztin1]

What type of bass play is this?? It's so funky but still energetic.
I've trying to find the name of this type of playing. I've heard so many songs have this repeating tone. Ymca, macho man, relight my fire, gimme gimme gimme, you make me feel mighty real, car wash, last dance, sexy eyes, the main event/fight etc.
Some songs use them less than others though. This song uses it nonstop while some only does it like 6 times in a song

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

I could be wrong, but I think this is called slap bass. Instead of plucking the strings, the bassist uses the thumb to "slap" the string instead of the usual plucking.

[@raztin1]

I actually found out what it was.
Yes, this is slap bass playing but the repeating playing is called Octaves.
You can play normal or slap bass with octaves. Thanks for the attempt though

[@polpterusdelhezi]

its the slap technique

[@dianau3942]

Tutorial please!! or tabs, your cover is amazing

[@hellishmovie]

Excellenet. The best of the Funky Town covers on youTube. Best style with the thumb. Exceeelllleeeennnnttt :-)PS - Do you know why there is more videos of the white girls (lovely) singing than the original black band who wrote and recorded it??

[@richard1957kemp]

Cover over with the synthesiser and the guitar and the seat or under the shallow end and the flute

[@walendxweg]

[@MrNorbi14]

[@Jobutupakj]

amazing!! but its 70's*

[@rickwellington9287]

Technically it was released in 1980 ...

[@cartapax5077]

Cowbell cover is also badly needed...

[@johngrij865]

There's some details that are not correct, in first place: the bass line of the song was not played in slap

[@nahnope8581]

So what?

[@gentlebabarian]

nobody cares its a cover. he has the freedom to do whatever
btw the original was with a synthesizer

[@diannesworld3598]

not good the color of this vedeo..
