I love how complicated in its simplicity this is. Look at it and you think "That's not too hard" pick the bass up "Why is my thumb in the middle of my hand now?"
This song is currently enjoying a second coming, thanks to a certain film, and you know what, I’m here for it. It’s great seeing a new generation falling in love with Murder On The Dancefloor, and of course, the bass! A wonderful, uplifting, fun record, that takes me back to being 20 again 😀 so yeah, thanks ❤
I had no idea you played this baseline . One of my absolute fav disco bass lines ever,70's or otherwise. I'd also like to note that I have Betty's twin sister . A 1965 Burgundy Mist Fender Jazz .
@@guypratt7104 Well, if I ever see one on the market I'll let you know Guy - very small finders fees ;-) Just revisiting this vid as been asked to play this at a wedding later in the summer, thought I'd get the word from the one who knows !! Cheers
Hi Guy, after the comment from the hospital for "one sleep" I'm finally back home after 17 days. Needless to say, your videos have kept me great company and I have watched them many times passing from one to the other. I am writing today because I want to compliment you because your great sympathy and empathy, in addition to your well-known and undisputed musical talent, are human qualities that are by no means negligible. Even with today's video you have demonstrated it not of your talent that I repeat is undisputed, but of your openness to music and art in general. It's so nice to listen while you play a song by Pink Floyd and then to see how naturally you move on to a nice piece of disco music like this one in the video. For my conditions your idea of the "lockdowm licks" is exceptional. Now I hope, as I think many others who follow you, you will want to dedicate a piece played with Brian Ferry to us. Ciao Guy, ciao to everyone. William
I watched this during the lockdown as I remembered Sophie’s song when it came out in the early 2000’s. It was like an awesome time capsule back to 78. Anyway thanks, Guy for the story on the bass for this song!
Thanx for covering the background instruments....Good to see you doing so well through these crazy times. And above all else, thanx for doing these videos, they sure have helped.
Guy, Thanks so much for sharing thebasslines of the songs to which you have contributed to during your musical career. I have been following your channel and started learning the songs from the videos. Good practice and lots of fun. All the best
Kiss And Tell, one of my favourite Guy-lines to play along to, along with Beautiful and Waiting For The Sunshine from Jimmy Nails Growing up In Public album, in fact all the basslines on that album are bloody top notch ! Thanks so much for your contribution and influence in my playing over the years Guy, you're a treasure mate.
You're love and drive for bass playing and music in general is extremely inspiring. Thank you for the great work you did with the floyd, keep doing what your doing i love your channel 😁
Murder is what they did to this bassline in the mix 💀
Guy has recorded and shared a stage with so many artists, what a resume! and what a great musician!!
this bass line is probably why the song is blowing up again-funky bass lines never age
Guy Pratt, it is official. You are part of history. Murder on the dancefloor is one of the best songs ever created.
I speak for all the bass players on the planet, more videos PLEASE !
Jesus, give me a chance!
Betsy could never get old.
There's nothing better than disco bass. Nothing.
Cumbia bass bro is fan also
I love how complicated in its simplicity this is. Look at it and you think "That's not too hard" pick the bass up "Why is my thumb in the middle of my hand now?"
Love the Lockdown Licks, i could listen and watch Guy playing bass all day
EddieHitler7 You need to get out more!
The only thing I miss about lockdown - a new video from this gent every week. ❤
Its only watching Guy's lockdown show you realise what a skilled artform playing bass is.
Hiya,Im about to try and learn like a prayer,..its a most excellent bass line,...simply Magical👍🏻. Thank you Guy✨
Sophie's Kitchen Disco is an absolute joy 😁
i was today years old when I learnt that this banger was written by you! now I get it why I've loved this since my childhood
This song is currently enjoying a second coming, thanks to a certain film, and you know what, I’m here for it.

Don't miss Covid lock down much but certainly miss these lick uploads ! Kept me sane, amused and educated in all things bass :o) Thank you Guy !
I'll never be able to listen to that song in the same way ever again....
:D welcome back Guy. As a child of the seventies I will say that disco is highly underrated. Thanks Guy for the video.
I had no idea you played this baseline . One of my absolute fav disco bass lines ever,70's or otherwise.
I'd also like to note that I have Betty's twin sister . A 1965 Burgundy Mist Fender Jazz .
Oh wow! I’m impressed
I agree, one of my fav baseline too
@@guypratt7104 Does Betsy not have 2 sisters? Are there not 3 jazzs, 3 precisions, 3 strats and 3 tele's all in the same colour?
@@dominiccrimmings6925 Not in my possession which is kind of the point..
@@guypratt7104 Well, if I ever see one on the market I'll let you know Guy - very small finders fees ;-)

I think we need a Guy Pratt signature disco shirt
Disco Stu never travels anywhere without his trusty sidekick Disco Guy.

What a great baseline which elevated this song. Thank you for the music

Hey Guy 😊 just added this tune to my bands set list again, we used to play it when it first came out. Well done!
Loved this. The open E is so cool as is the return to verse semi tone a-ab. Fantastic!
Smooth, precise.
Each week gets better. Who knew you had been on so many tracks! Stay safe
