She grows her own bass strings, nice
It really seems like it haha
I just spit laughing 🤣
I’m not sure I get it. You talking about her hair? Lol cuz her hair kinda looks like gold platted low e bass strings.

The most underrated instrument that makes all music better.
@Baba Ganush I mean it really is
@Baba Ganush It's cool to say things you and everyone around you like are "underrated". It makes you and those around you feel like you are "in" and others are "out", satisfying our social need for acceptance. Nevermind it's a complete and total misuse of the word. Humans are remarkably good at ignoring facts if it makes them feel better.
@Baba Ganush not underrated if you know music or play an instrument, but bass is definitely overlooked by most people.
Nope bass is the worst instrument ever low sound doesnt need to a band , Guitar is the best instrument if you are a guitar player you are an intelligent person , if you are a bassist you are most likely a peasant who only pluck 1 string at a time .
@@nahshnahsuhe3547 Music without bass is flat. Do you know the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen? The entire focal point of the song is the amazing bass line. And bass isn't supposed to be in the forefront like guitar is. It's supposed to be the backbone of the music together with the drums. You are entitled to your own opinions about the instrument, but don't go saying it has no value in music.
She matches her bass, her walls and her ceiling as well as the bass matching her door. Everything is in perfect synchronicity and harmony
Excellent observation skills! So , how long have you been smokin pot anyway...

I appreciate that, but not really. If we were gods gift we wouldnt be outcasted by everyone.
Thank you
I never realized how much this song ACTUALLY does put the bass in a little bit of a spot light. Had to go listen to it
What's the name?
@@selmamhanbar8572 sir Duke
Same here
Bass is the first instrumentation the follows percussion - often times used directly as part of the percussion. SW’s tunes are always strong percussion and bass lines - always…
Stevie Wonder hit a groove in the 70s, wonderful.
I've been playing bass 40 years and always wanted to figure this one out. Congratulations. You almost make it sound fretless.
I was sure it was a fretless.

Yeah, went through the grind. Took me three weeks, but I nailed it. The first time I played it through flawlessly? Felt like I knew all the secrets of the universe. lol
Whats the song
@@Maxischupp93 Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder
That's because you did.
This is so dope, Yes girl. Yes Yes Yes. I'm working out boogie woogie bugle boy on piano. I feel the struggle and reward. Keep challenging yourself this is so fucking cool
LoL congrats bro
Bass is seriously underrated, I’m a bass player myself and it’s definitely the most important part of a band.
We agree!
Definitely! In some songs you don't really hear the bass but you'll hear the difference if it's not there.
??? who ever thinks bass is underated, are hangin' out with the wrong crowd vs dimension
great bass makkes great space
great bass grooves for drums and vocals
Exactly, it just doesn't sound the same without bass and that's coming from a guitarist. Basses are one of the best instruments created.
It is said that a band is only as good as it’s drummer. Nobody has EVER said a band is only as good as it’s bassist. That being said, as a drummer who has played for over 40 years, I’ve always found that the better the bass player, the better music I was involved with. I would look forward to fill in gigs when I knew the bassist was solid. I’ve NEVER thought that about ANY guitarist. They ain’t back line so they don’t matter.
Stevie wonders basslines scare the shit out of me they're so good hahah
🔥🔥🔥
This riff single-handedly has earned me thousands of dollars. No better way to ace an audition.
Give yourself some credit. That riff just showcases your hard work and talent!
It got me into my college’s most prestigious band but I learned this song (including the lick) in 3 days💪
@@dgraves242 Ngl its pretty ez to master
It doesn't look that hard. I could probably do this in my 2nd year of playing.
Not hard at all.
This song is a masterpiece, not just is the bass line a joy to play but it has my favourite horn arrangement, pure joy
what song
Would you mind to share the song title?
@@fooooked ok i found it already. Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder
Well, the horn arrangement IS part of the bass line and vice versa when they play in unison. Part of the charm of the arrangement.
@@SapikHensem cheers dude
Ana Pshokina.. The lovely and talented specimen playing the bass..
...You are welcome...

tysm
Thank you!!!
This should have been included in the description by the OP.
@@retrovertido I agree.
THANKYOUUU
Also, that smirk when you crushed that first run, positively magnetic.
Those look like the strings used on a ukulele bass
Songs in the key of life!
They're probably La Bella gold white nylons
I didn't even realize they are nylon
You mean nylon!
I don't think they're white nylon strings; I think they're probably white Dr Neon strings which have got a glow-in-the-dark coating on them. They have a really warm, round sound like you can hear in the video.
Y’all really should tag the musician in the description
Who doesn't know this is Michael Jackson?
@@jlynch751 this is stevie wonder-
@@jlynch751 people who know it's Stevie Wonder.
@@M2Mil7er I was kidding!
@@M2Mil7er no its rick james its obvious cmon
Yes indeed!! I played for Stevie Wonder for 12 ½ , it was bliss playing for him and with the one and only Nate Watts on bass. Check out the live performance from
the album “Natural Wonder”
Don’t stop! 🙏🏽❤️
wow...
That look of satisfaction on her face after pulling off that riff!! Great work!
As a punk rock bassist/guitarist I 100 percent agree. Those licks have serious groove!!!
I too play bass in a punk rock band. Lead singer as well
Stevie’s music is some of the most well-composed and masterfully crafted of all time. ❤️
Seconded
And this Is his best Song
@@turro5143 that's not his best song. But that's a good one
What song is it?
@@wadpaw this is Sir Duke
Yess Hun! Niiice! 🎵🎶 💕
Truly, TRULY, Devine.
I imagine playing this on my old strings and it sounding like a construction zone.
🤣 try boiling your strings like pasta for 10minute. thats what my friend told me.
Real bass players don't buy new strings.....unless someone else is paying. Personally I haven't changed mine since 1995, seriously.
@@Yohann67 probably they sound shit.
LMBAO
@@Hassan-Alnajjar It wouldn’t matter, I only play country music and there are only 3 notes…….
Stevie had the best bass lines. His left hand was on it. I know this is played on the bass, but listen to some of his songs and in particular his 'bass lines' on the piano.
That's actually Nate Watts who has been with Stevie since the 70s and is the MD (Musical Director) for Stevie Wonder. Which means most of the arrangements you hear, Nate put that together. I'm not taking away from the creativity of Stevie whatsoever because he is a beast and legend in his own right. However Nate is the one who arranged the majority of Stevie's stuff and it always sucks for us as musicians on a recognition stand point. Yeah we get the royalties off whatever record we produced or played on (if your contract is setup that way) but there is always something special about being recognized for something great that you created/accomplished that money sometimes just can't replace. This isn't a negative comment, It's just musical history on who the other genius is behind a lot of Stevie Classics lol
@@MaestroBass Nate played on the songs that called for a real bass player.. they were still arranged by Stevie. Stevie has one of the best left hands this world has to offer. One of the many songs that stick out in particular is stranger on the shore of love. He is the reason why we use the “wonder basses” still today. It’s actually not fair of how great his bass playing was. Nate came along during the songs of the key of life album. Before that, those bass playing was all Stevie on every song
Stevie didn't write bass lines.
He didn't even let studio musicians put their names on the albums they worked on.
@@DiarrheaBubbles you have no clue to what you’re talking about. No one wrote his baseline, no even him because he just played his own bass lines on the keyboard. My brother, Isaiah Sharkey(look him up), has access to every session ever done at Motown and it’s subsidiary(tamla) and Stevie is in fact playing his own music on innervisions, talking book, fulfillingness first finale, most of songs in the key of life, secret life of plants, some on hotter than July, most on in square circle, all of characters, jungle fever, etc etc etc.
@@zoflowsharkey I'm Stevie. Shawn is my alter ego.
Wow, you can tell when someone loves the bass, watch her face she feels those notes a second before playing them. Live it, watched it five times
I watched this 90 times already
This is the one bassline I always come back to, love it so much, and even outside the solo bit there is a lot of room to play around! If you know this already learn the Nathan East version, he shifts the key around 4 times within this one solo, it's epic.
I don't thinks it's a solo as much as it is a riff
Its not even a "bassline" just a lick or riff
👍 I haven't even hit play yet, but now I know _exactly_ which bass line this is!
I love Nathan East, but those changes make me dizzy every time. #WeirdFlex
lol C
@@kennethreed8746 I’d just call it a Soli honestly
That feeling when you’ve been putting in the practice and finally start getting most of the part 🔥🔥 I get excited every time I’m learning a new piece
As a very beginner bassist, I am humbly proud to select the bass as my instrument.
Edit : I GOT 1K LIKES ?! MOM YOUR DAUGHTER IS FAMOUS....
Guitar will get you more chicks (maybe, probably not lol) but the bass will get you more jobs. They say there’s no such thing as an unemployed bass player.
Signed, an unemployed guitar player 😂
@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrrBass players do it deeper...
@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrr Haha jokes on you, i'm gay-
@@ryujikazuda yea im bi lmao. It works cuz the girls don't really care but the guys usually love it :)
Enjoy the journey!
I was so in the mood that I listened to it three times in a row without realizing it
Oh I love this!! Stevie Wonder has always been my fave
Never seen the bass line played for this song before. Excellent 👌
We played this in Jazz band and it was my favorite we ever played, such a blast!
What's the name?
@@selmamhanbar8572 Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder
Bass is the soul of music!
She has the hands for this kind of thing. And she really knows how to play.
I concur!
Bass 🎸 is the Soul of music
Drums 🪘 is the heartbeat
Piano 🎹 and electric ⚡️ guitaris melody 🎤 and gives 🎶 life to the vocals (vocals sits atop piano melody)
Trumpet 🎺, saxophone 🎷adds expressions
What about the triangle?
I’m sad 🎻
What about the banjo 🪕
@@moonshiner3400 the banjo 🪕 is a different language all together! 😂
@@NathanKwadade I play Saxaboom, btw. Really hard intrument
This song was my "happy" song years ago when I first heard it. There's just something about it. It's in the groove
@Whisp Sir Duke
Possibly a major key........
She looks so serene. What a talented and lovely young woman.
I’ve been playing for 14 years and I still can’t nail that tune
This girl is KILLIN it!!! That song is already a classic, and she has the skills, long fingers and strings to play it 🎸 🔥
What song is it?
@@DiscoFerret22 Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. You should check out that entire album.
I have been non stop listening to Sir Duke trying to find time to learn it. It’s such an amazing song all around!
Sing or hum it on repeat first. Makes it much easier to play.
☺️🤘🤟✌️❤️❤️❤️!!!Much Love!!!
Playing beauty❤
I love Stevie wonder. I've always wanted to learn the bass lines in his songs!
Been listening to this song for almost 50 years and never noticed the bass line. You did a killer job here. Thank you. Would be good to hear the whole song.
Then you haven't been listening!
Have you never put on a pair of headphones in 50 years?
Pretty sure you're remembering the wrong song.
You need new speakers
I have a hard time hearing bass myself.
Pshokina is the best!
Damn!!! You go girl!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'm at 5 straight views and still can't quite scratch the itch that is getting enough of watching her jam out on a fantastic bass line. Well played, and great tune!
That is bad ass melodic bass playing. Perfect with horn section, tight! Tasty lines walkin with the chords along the vocals! Very impressive without slaps.
Kabuki, you've released a LOT of bangers, but this a your best by far. Thank you for all that you do, you're super appreciated! 🖤
I don't think most people know what gorgeous is. Play like this, you'll be playing gorgeously.
Great job. Smooth,great timing
Bass is so spiritual
the smile!!! felt that, i love it!
respect to all bass players in the world, cause this instrument makes total difference in a song, but i swear, there are times in the middle of the song that you look to the bassist and he is like GIVING his life on the line, BUT you can’t actually notice his sound between all of the instruments
but i’m serious, thanks for existing, bass players
I have been listening to this song since before I was born and I can feel that baseline in the bottom of my soul. Awesome job, thank you for posting!
Okay, I think listening to this 20 times is enough for today
And then another 20 tomorrow
That’s one of the most beautiful bass guitars I’ve seen
I remember my brother learning”I was made to love her” over and over and over..now when I hear the song I realize how good he really is!
Exquisite example where a flashy bass actually fits the groove and complements the song. I approve
💯💯💯
Looks like she's having a blast!
Pentatonics everywhere in this one!
Yes indeed!
Beautiful unison❤️😮
Wow that's intense but she nailed it. Thanks for sharing!
That smile when you know you’ve nailed it
Nailed it
The best music
Sir Duke. I have always, ALWAYS, loved that song. It’s one of the few songs that can actually snap me out of a bad place.
And her…….WHOA……💜🔥🫶🫠
Saw Stevie live a few years back and the bassist did some insane variations on these runs and i immediately had to go home and learn the line. This is so smooth!
Cool that you saw Stevie! I don't think he saw you though
That was Detroit Bassist Nate Watts. He has been Stevie's Bass Player for over 40 years. Great Bass player.
@@gromburt I shouldn't, but 🤣🤣🤣
@@gromburt no you didn’t 😂
One of the best classic bass lines ever written, this should be a requirement for every bassist to learn. Awesome skills😘
WE AGREE! 🧡
Good job on the riff. I remember learning to play this. 73 notes in this riff. Who else but Stevie does something like this. Keep it up 👍🏿.
Bruh, that run is one of the funnest lines in that style, "every bass player should learn" is fuckin right!! Such a good line man, just sweetness
The camera angles like these make me happy. I like to imagine it's a giant bass neck. It's a simple pleasure.
Wooo" Love the song, love the bass, and love the relaxed way you play this, and love your expressions!!
😁😎
So smooth🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏿
One of the first songs I learnt to play in full! I even played it on stage at our "music school day". Good memories!
Great work on that riff. Legendary.
I think I’m in love with
Just fell in love with
You can't beat the mind of Stevie wonder. No better grooves around
What song?
@@callopez5577Sir Duke
Most of the credit should be given to jamerson
Negative. Stevie wonder sounds like you took Motown and mixed it with the muppets
@@BrianLTanner that sounds good though
I tried learning this years ago when I was playing a lot and I just couldn’t get it. I just started playing bass again and maybe one day I’ll have the chops to hit it 100%.
:|
She’s bad, yes??
It was impossible for me the first time round too, so I made copies of it at 70%, 80% and 90% tempo and started slow then worked my up, til magically I could do the 100% speed.
@@KiatHuang that’s the best way to do it.
VERY NICE. KEEP DOING YOUR THING AND INSPIRING OTHERS. BEST WISHES, AND GOD BLESS YOU
C'est formidable . Très belle ligne de basse .
Sir duke - Stevie Wonder
Having had to learn that line on trombone as well, I can safely say it'll make you a better musician no matter what you play.
Maaann, this comment hit me. I use to play trombone. I just tried to play part with my breath...Man i got to pick up breathing this was tough but it felt kinda good.

Really nice playing here. Come on everybody recognize!!!
My dad has been playing this riff for as long as I can remember. Now I'm gonna cry.
I can’t stop watching this. You get to see raw enjoyment earned from working really hard at mastering this song.
YES!
Her tone is to die for.
It's phenomenal how accurate you are! Ypur feel for music is spot on!
This lady grooves
Love of my life
I’ve been trying to remember this medley in my head for months wow what a feeling to finally scratch the itch!
while we're on Little Stevie, I've always liked the bassline from 'I wish' - sounds like he really had fun playing that one
Good ol Nathan Watts played that bassline but yes, it's FONKY man! The walk up from the low end to the octave of the same notes and back down is super cool and though it repeats never sounds stale. Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Stevie Wonder song.
Yes!!!!
Solo perché vestita sei bravissima!!!
Bel sound , brava! 🍻💐
I had to play this song on bass for a performance, even though I'm actually a guitar player, this bass line is fun as hell to play hehe!
Throw that thumb!
...the "pucketah" we all know and love
It's a pretty catchy riff and actually easy to play cause of the shape you move around it in being pentatonic yet feels like youre playing something hard which feels kinda accomplishing if you know what I mean. Such a neat riff
What is it?
