THE FUNKIEST BASS LINE THAT YOU CAN PLAY OR WANT TO LEARN ANY ARTIST

[thomas1168]

OK THIS IS A  GOOD LEARNING  TOPIC
WHAT IS THE FUNKIEST NASTY DIRTY BASS LINE THAT YOU CAN PLAY OR WANT TO PLAY FROM ANY ARTIST

I WILL WAIT FOR ALL THE POSTS
AND AS A GROUP WE WILL PICK THE TOP FIVE AND WHOM EVER KNOWS THE LINES CAN SUBMIT THEM
 JUST DRUM AND BASS SO THE CATS THAT WANT TO LEARN THE LINE CAN HEAR THE BASS LINE CLEAN

I AM HOPING TO PICK AT LEAST ONE THAT IS VOTED FUNKIEST THAT NO ONE CAN REALLY PLAY SO THAT AS A GROUP WE CAN FIGURE THEM OUT

OK HERE THE CATCH
WHEN YOU PICK A SONG THAT ON THE TOP 5 FUNKY
YOU MUST ALSO SUBMIT

THE KEY OF THE SONG
THE LINE WRITEN OUT OR AT LEAST 8 BARS
CHORD PROGRESSION
AND WHY THE BASS IS DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING RELITIVE TO THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS

THIS IS A BERKLEE EXERCISE THAT WE USED TO DO NOT ONLY DO LEARN ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS BUT YOUR LEARN LEARN LEARN THE SONG AND THEN YOU CAN LOOK AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

I WILL WAIT TO POST MINE I STILL HAVE TO THINK MYSELF
PEACE
THOMAS

Thomas,

Awe man I musta totally missed this one...I'm gonna have to go home and listen to some stuff.  I will post mine when I get back in town Sunday.

So you want "FUNKY" bass lines....hmmm.  Off the top of my head I'm thinking "Glide" by Pleasure...Haa...try to dig that one up!



By the way...what is you approach to transcribing lines.

[DWBass]

'Glide' is pretty funky! I have a couple I can think of off the top of my head that I may submit!

[evangelist215]

"It's time now" (I think that's what its called) by Tye Tribbet off of the "LIFE" album. But I don't play bass but I think its still hot...lol.

[thomas1168]

Ok
First things first can you play glide
If you can can you transscibe it for everyone hear at LGM
If not spend 2-4 hours trying to learn it and let me know what you came up with

THE POINT OF THIS LESSON IS THAT WHEN I LEARNED IT I LEARNED IT WRONG (TECH) BUT IT SOUNDED JUST AS GOOD AS THE REAL LINE THEN ONE OF MY FRIEND SHOWED ME HOW HE PLAYS IT WHICH WAS STILL WRONG BUT DIFFERENT AND SO ON BUT DO NOT GET ME WRONG WE WERE NOT PLAYING IT OUT OF KEY OR WRONG WE WERE JUST PLAYING IT DIFFERENT THAN PLEASURE

[DWBass]

I almost never play anything exactly like the original. Either it will still sound the same or I'll add my own twist and style to it! I used to play Glide way back in the day! I'm talking way back like the 70's! I'd probably have to relearn it. But there are so many other equally as funky and hard to play slap funk basslines from yesterday to today! Some of the stuff I hear in today's gospel music is 'sick' compared to when I was growing up! Plus there were no 5 string, 6 string or ERB basses back then either!

[thomas1168]

THATS TO TRUE MAN
ONE OF MY TEACHERS TAUGHT ME THIS LESSON AND SAID ALWAYS LEARN THE LINE NOTE FOR NOTE FIRST AND THEN TRANSCRIBE IT AND MY MAN COULD DO IT SO THAT ALWAYS STUCK BUT YOUR RIGHT MAN BASS LINES IN GOSPEL IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO PICK OUT NOTE FOR NOTE JUST LIKE MY VICTOR WOOTEN VIDEO HE TALKS ABOUT LEARNING STANLEY CLARK AND HE EVEN SAYS THAT HE DOESNT KNOW IF HE IS PLAYING IT RIGHT

[LovetaBass]

I want to learn "Giant Steps" and Chick Corea's "Spain". But i think I strained a brain cell and pinched a nerve in my ring finger on Spain.

That unison part in Spain is a killer. The rest of the song is kinda easy(if you're familiar with samba style playing). I've yet to learn that section completely though. Just fooled around with it a few times and at a few band rehearsals where the guitar player would go through the runs!

Paul Chambers kills it on Giant Steps! Too nice!!!

[thomas1168]

COME ON GUYS START POSTING THE SONG THAT YOU KNOW THAT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED
I WILL POST GLIDE
AN DWBASS I HEARD YOUR STUFF I KNOW THE SONGS THAT ARE LISTED SO FAR ARE EASY FOR YOU TOO

I WILL PLAY IT SLOW( RECORD IT SLOW) SO YOU CAN HEAR EXACTLT WHAT I AM DOING AND TRANSCRIBE IT

[DWBass]

I had some problems accessing my network so I couldn't transfer what I recorded to my internet PC. Just to give y'all a heads up, it's "Pow" by Larry Graham & Graham Central Station. I played it on my 5 string so it's not really clean as if I played it on my 4 string jazz and also I haven't played it in well over 20+ years so be gentle on me. I'll work on my transcription tomorrow as well as a slowed down version. Just wanna get this up. Enjoy!

NICE DW VERY NICE CAN YOU TRANSCRIBE IT FOR EVERYONE

[DWBass]

I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend so forgive me if I don't respond right away.

[yazakar]

taste n' see off of Tye Tribbett's "LIFE" album

[BassMan2000]

The song I like the most is:

"I want to play for you" by Stanley Clarke off his "The Bass-ic Collection"

This song is funky

[djgroovin]

I'm in the process of moving but I really want to do this...it may be a few weeks before I can get moved and unpacked and set back up.

[LovetaBass]

I'll add "Donna Lee", "Teen Town", "Classical Thump" to the list. I guess wanna learn how to play already 

[Oneway]

Dont' know who plays or sings this song but, it sounds nice. I get these songs for church to practice and play. This song wasn't one I had to practice but happened to be on the CD. Nice groove to play. I don't have the time to tab it out but, thought I would share it and see what you guys thought. He play all different kinds of stuff in this song.  God Bless.
