What a god send you are, I love this bass line and you've now made it a whole lot less of a challenge to learn. Thank you very much!
Cool. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love bass; I love how you break it down , bass is everything I can't live without it
Thanks Tammie. I feel the same as you about bass. Keep playing! Let me know if you have any questions.
Yeah, bass, air and water.
excellently analysis of Mr Edward's line and real teaching skills
Thanks very much.
what a tone!!
Thank you!
Fantastic attention to detail. I learnt a lot from this.
Thanks very much.
Beautifully done. More of the funky stuff.pls
Thanks! Will do although more rock, blues, jazz, and pop too...
Just love this song. Cheers Dan.
Thanks man! Very well explained
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! Great song and great tutorial. I’ve been playing this incorrectly for a few years. I always knew something was off, and WOW, I’m so excited right now to try that business with the open E string. That never would have occurred to me. :o Thank you so much for doing this!
Me neither! Bernard was a genius. Also, I think it's E but could be proved wrong. Try it and see what you think. Thanks for watching.
Thank you ❤🙏 i have played this wrong before
Great stuff Man. I can't figure out why I have such a hard time with this one but I really do. I think my fingers are just getting old and stiff.
Don’t worry, it is a tough one.
It's deceptive man. Lots of ghost notes, very busy.
Hey Dan, Not only are you a very talented bassist and a really good teacher but the fact that you recognize Bernard Edwards as the great Bassist he really was. It was litening to Him in Chic that I trully fell in love with the Bass Guitar. What a groove hacker the man was. Thanks Man.
Great! Thanx, mate!
You're welcome!
Great fella
👏
Thanks for watching, Andy. 🙏👍
Hey Dan can you play ain’t nobody by Rufus and Chaka Khan the baseline thank you
A classic! I think I’ve demoed that in a few videos but I can’t remember which ones…
What are your EQ settings mate? Sounds lovely
Thanks, James! Bass up quite a lot (on the StingRay), treble only a bit. Flat EQ no compression anywhere else.
@@OnlineBassCourses Cheers man! I got a Warwick recently and I'm finding it hard to get a punchy, clean sound
@@jamespayter6948 could be the pickups. The hum bucker is great for punch and is in a good location on a StingRay.
Dan that was excellent and its interesting that Bernard used a similar fast-octave style in We Are Family, which I have been learning today. The difficult part for me is keeping the notes clean in the fast octaves. Are you muting with the 3rd and 4th fingers of the plucking hand? It looks like you are keeping your fretting fingers very close to the fretboard, is that also part of the muting technique? Whats our advice on keeping it clean and clear?
Michael. Thanks; and great questions! The muting is more or less all the ‘spare’ fingers of the fretting hand. I go through it more here: th-cam.com/video/iQ2_cVSBXGo/w-d-xo.html. It’s such an important but underrated technique. This is a perfect bass line to practise it.
@@OnlineBassCourses that video is very helpful. I think the key is to not raise the fingers too high, when releasing pressure. To keep the finger lightly on the string instead of lifting it off right away into the air? is that correct? Ive seen some videos of Bernard Edwards playing these lines live and his fretting hand doesn't actually appear to be moving much or even doing much, and I don't think he's miming. It's that 'effortless mastery' the great players have where they don't appear to be doing much with their hands but the amazing sounds appear like magic. I have taken your advice and am recording my practice using GarageBand and its revealing a lot of flaws. Good advice.
@@bocobocoboco That's exactly right. Keep the fingers close to the strings as that's where they can help control them the most. Use both hands to mute depending on the situation.
Did u use roundwound strings in this video?
Yes - fairly old ones.
This great Dan !...do you recall what EQ settings you used to achieve this tone?
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don't... Noisy likely a fair bump on the bass and a little bit on the treble (both from the onboard EQ). No EQ anywhere else.
@@OnlineBassCourses Thanks Dan...will experiment
what is this bass model/brand anyone knows?
1978 MusicMan StingRay.
Hi Dan really loving ur bass lessons, and u can play, would u kindly tab a tune by Garfield Fleming, it’s called please don’t send me away, it’s a great tune, would be grately appreciated, keep the lessons and Groovin bass lines comin 🔥🔥🔥🎸🤙🏽
Thanks very much - I'll keep them coming don't worry! I don't know the song but I'll check it out and add it to the list...
Thank you 🙏 it’s a great tune ,
OK I'll watch it but I'm willing to bet that I'll be nowhere near being able to play it 6 months from now! Still, I can but try I suppose.
A little bit of practice every day (or most days) and you’ll be surprised what you can achieve! Good luck.
Hello, nice lesson , is the strings you are using are Flat Wound ? Best reagrds,
Thank you. No, these are fairly worn in Elites Players.
@@OnlineBassCourses thank you so much
