    In this song lesson, I will teach you the bass part to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". This part is fairly simple except for the chorus where the bass also plays the horn line.

    That fret buzz is maddening

      It usually doesn't come through the amp.

    Just want to say you have taught me more than any of the fancy bass sites. I think you’re style of teaching allows me to get real basic and then expand as any musician begins to “own the song’ which can’t be rushed. I’m trying to say thank you brother you’ve made a difference in my life.

    I'm a literal beginner, i dont even know if i'm supposed to even try to play songs like this one, but you broke it down so well, simple, now i'm actually doing pretty well.
    Thank you.

    I wish more videos would take their time to explain the lines and riffs to more tunes like this does. I've been playing it wrong for years

    Man this is a super great lesson, especially the explanation of swing, exactly what I was struggling with half way through, and all the minor pentatonic fills.

    Thanks so much for the POI on this tune!
    It’s unfortunate that this channel gets so much attention to guitars and ukulele and only crickets for us bassists. This instructor is one of the best with breaking down songs and articulating the (“theory”) musicians’ basic fundamentals of why we are playing the notes and how they’re supposed to be played.

    • @CenterStageGuitar
      @CenterStageGuitar  Před 2 lety +1

      John, thanks for the compliment! Ashley is a great teacher for the reasons you mentioned above. Seems few are interested in the theory but it really is key especially for bass. You can find all of Ashley;s lessons at csbassacademy.com

    This is one of the songs 5 string actually comes in handy. Agree tho most bands don’t wanna swap instruments or retune.

  • @tommossinger3826
    @tommossinger3826 Před 3 lety

    I love this lesson! Too many tabs out there that I just could not follow. This lesson made it make sense and while I have a long way to go speed wise, I can do this! Any chance anyone has this tab’d ?? I tried, but could not match it up to the others and thus am not sure.

    • @stubmandrel
      @stubmandrel Před 2 lety +1

      Agreed, it's hard to hear the bassline on the original and I looked at a dozen tabs and they are all different...

    @christianodenwald Před 6 lety

    It's actually eighths not quarters in the beginning. The rest between the notes is what makes the riff that funky

    Не верно снятая партия. Особенно когда бас начинает играть с духовыми, некоторые ноты не верны. Бридж тоже слишком упростили.

    @contrabone10 Před rokem +1

    Wrong notes, not how it was played for either of the lines. This would work with a wedding band, but if you want to really know the part, don’t play this version.

    • @leelauriemcalister4774
      @leelauriemcalister4774 Před měsícem

      The dude said in the beginning that he was going to show how to play the song in E standard tuning. The recording was done in the key of Eb. Obviously you would drop your tuning a half step to match the recording if that’s your goal. Or you could figure it out by dropping everything a half step which really isn’t necessary
