5 Legendary Soul Bass Riffs (Played by Donald 'Duck' Dunn)

[@joannehack7588]

I realize this is Dan Akroyd’s birthday I am trying to celebrate, but, Duck played an integral part in the music of the Blues Brothers.

[@crimsonchrome3012]

I love everything duck done

[@ebassguitar]

Very good ;-)

[@sluggo68]

I see what you did there.

[@coyotesmile8972]

"Move over, God dammit!" - Donald "Duck" Dunn
One of my favorite historical quotes.

[@ebassguitar]

Great tunes! Cheers!

[@samsamtheguitarman]

I'll tell you how I found this video: someone in a guitar group on Facebook said that to learn bass guitar just learn how Donald Duck Dunn did it, I only ever heard of him before from the Blues Brothers film so I looked him up on TH-cam. Your video came up, and it's perfect - nice work man 🙌

[@oleheat]

Awesome stuff…Duck Dunn would be proud- you do him justice, Sir! 👍

[@ebassguitar]

That’s very kind of you

[@gregoryherson2095]

Love the Duck

[@ebassguitar]

Nice!

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

Sometimes less is more. And he knew perfectly well. Genius!!! Also nice playing and vid! Subbed!

[@ebassguitar]

Agreed! Thanks for the sub! Stay tuned for more videos :)

As a child of the 60's & 70's .....
..... a great selection of memorable songs

[@ebassguitar]

What's your great selection?

[@belindastucki1597]

I'm new to playing the bass. I like what I'm hearing. Can't wait for more.

[@ebassguitar]

Keep watching!

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

Thank you for this video my wife and I just got through watching The Blues Brothers movie again last night and I noticed for the first time that Donald Duck Dunn bass lines look up maybe half of the movie and just wow such incredible bass playing it kept driving the movie Forward Google Donald Duck Dunn to find out more about him and this is the first thing that came up

[@astral_anomaly]

Looking into him after hearing Pain In the Heart. Thanks for posting this is fantastic 💫

[@ebassguitar]

He’s incredible!

[@fish-man]

Thanks for breaking it down. Wish the bass was a bit louder, especially against the drum machine and the narrative. A little hard to hear but then again, I’m an old guy.

[@ebassguitar]

Have you tried listening on headphones?
Computer speakers don’t like the bass than much!

[@fish-man]

@@ebassguitar even worse: I was listening on my phone. I’ll try headphones next time, thanks.

[@ebassguitar]

Not the first time we’ve had that issue!

[@Phaidrus]

How did I miss this video last year... Thanks James, soul basslines are so groovy and moody.

[@ebassguitar]

I agree

[@markmunoz4101]

Superb tutorial.

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks Mark! Cheers!

[@lemuellachica4991]

Amazing duck dunn is an inspiration to me to pick up the bass. Knock on wood must be the inpiration for ramble by LZ

[@ebassguitar]

Totally!!!!

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

Are you picking closer to the bridge on some of those Tunes

[@IDVDalot]

Sounds cool. Hey just for kicks can you do a lesson where you only speak cockney? I m already wondering what the Cockney word for Bass and " soul" and " groove" is

[@laurelmarshall6903]

Thanks so much for this great Bass lesson! I just subbed to your Channel. Duck Dunn is on of my all-time favorites (& I love 'Born Under A bad Sign')... Very cool lesson & I'll be back soon!

[@ebassguitar]

[@FooVines]

great video! thanks for the work, but the sharp e string hurts a bit :/

[@ebassguitar]

Cheers! Sounds ok to me… hmm.

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

By the way which pickups are you using for which songs and are you running one or two or three fingers how are you toggling through them

[@Transterra55]

Very Cool Lesson! Greetings from Memphis (Home of Stax Records and Sun Studios)...

[@ebassguitar]

Greetings! Glad you like the video! Cheers!

[@perkster123]

Nice video. Have you ever listened to his playing on Albert King's 'Cockroach' on 'Years gone by'. It's awesome. 👍

[@ebassguitar]

Yeah.. great tunes! Cheers!

[@kbfreelance]

Where can I find the notes

[@ebassguitar]

The link for the pdf is in the description of the video

[@ipguyman108]

Back ground music is too loud. Can’t hear any bass guitar 😢

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll definitely look into it! All the best!

[@sebhot]

[@davidbanton6174]

Drum track is louder than the bass imo.

[@travismartin1017]

[@ebassguitar]
