    People complain about wrapping thumbs around the neck on behs, but I say, "If Jimi Hendrix did it on guitar, I can do it on behs if I damn feel like it."

    Bernard is definitely one of the GOATs of funk bass for a reason, all of the bass lines he came up with are just impeccable and melodic enough so you can always sing along with them

  • @DavidMorley
    @DavidMorley Před 14 dny +9

    Personally i think “I want your love” is the best chic bassline. Seriously groovy and harmonically beautiful

    Not the funk genre, but I've always felt the bass parts in Airbag by Radiohead are just incredibly tasteful, minimalist, but they perfectly align with the groove

    Wow. Sapko himself and I both see the "Everybody Dance" bass line as one of the best. Bernard very well may be the goat. Disco was despised by quite a few people in its day, but I haven't the slightest idea how one could resist these tunes.

    I love that you're into funk and disco, so am I, I grew up in the 70s and 80s and miss the music so much. As soon as I one of my friends would put down everything but punk I'd throw on something like Walls by Crass or Abba so they'd lose their mind and leave.

  • @MrFuzzleupagus
    @MrFuzzleupagus Před 14 dny +1

    IMO: James Jamerson’s bass on The Jackson 5’s “Darling Dear” is the best bass of all time. But, credit where credit is due.

  • @junglejim99
    @junglejim99 Před 13 dny

    I had no idea "chucking" had a name. I've been doing it for years. I just began one day when I couldn't find a pick, never looked back. Always played six string guitar with fingers anyway so I guess it developed naturally from that.

    0E 2E 3E 4E, 3E 4E, 3E 4E 3E 4E, A2 E4
    Pedal = Reverb and/or Delay
    There’s a lot more to the riff, but it would be a pain in the butt to transcribe every one. Also, I don’t know the amount of Reverb or Delay for the riff.
