More bass!

You idiots are trying so hard to make the most simple thing complicated. It's a simple beat used a million times for hundreds of years, and even redone for U got the look... It only shows U don't know music.

Loved this! Thanks for diving in to some of these! Inspiring!

Yeah it had bass when played live but not on record. It had to have bass live. He knew that.

Good video. I heard someone say a long tine ago, prince never knew what to do with that song live, that's why it never sounded like the record. And he kept changing it up.

Great instructional video

Larry Graham is better than all of them. Ain’t No Doubt About It.

just subscribed

Brilliant freaking video. 🙌

I like that hard funky bass line that's on the 2nd half of the 12-inch release of Kiss. Does that count?

Love seeing the fret broad

by the end of the video…that bass line almost sounds like Delirious 😂

Really cool analyzation of this song! As a bassist, I recall playing my own feel of this on bass which is very similar to your interpretation! Wow! Very tightly muted and "thumpy" if you will! Laughs! It just gave it something extra to wipe out any hollowness to the song! I did not have that thumb technique down but I could finger it pretty well. Thanks for sharing!

You are a true Professional my guy ! Keep up the good work !

Brah, you are workin😂, thank you! I’d love for you to dissect Alphabet Street if you’ve not already done so….that is one of the funkiest bass grooves Prince did…..and it’s almost way in the back….

I think im going to get it

Hey Ted, fellow KZbinr here, the message I try to get across to my viewers is that there is a lesson in every song. You’re on the money bro and go get that 100k subs this year.

That was interesting. For me Sonny T's version is the one I like best. How you play it around 12:40. The 2004 version is the one I like the least. Nice sounding Bass BTW. Marco Bass...wow I'm going to check those out. PS good singing too

Ted is absolutely right...if you aren't playing music you aren't playing music....modes, pentatonics, exercises, and theories is a waste of time without purpose

For me, Levi, Sonny, Larry and Rhonda...in that order. Me and a buddy had this convo awhile back. I think he played it, on a gig, B A S S E D off Larry's arrangement.

My man! I needed this last year when challenged with coming up with a bass line for that joint. Trust that I will be coppin all of this. THANK YOU!

Yeah L.T.D !

I saw that comment. No, it wasn’t damaging, at all. We all go down rabbit holes for whatever itch needs scratched and we’re all on our own singular journey. The message of your previous video was put out for the student that needed to hear that teaching. If it doesn’t/didn’t apply, fine, move on.

16:45,MAN YOU KILLING IT BRO❤❤❤❤

MAN YOU TALKIN MY LANGUAGE TODAY MAN,PARLIAMENT/JAMES BROWN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤OFF THE CHARTS

EMERSON VHS,REAL TALK MAN❤

AWESOME VIDEO TED,KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍🏿,YEAH MAN THAT MEMPHIS SOUND AIN'T NO JOKE ❤

Great video! I feel like playing the flat 7 in the bass can be a good move sometimes if things feel too predictable? Can it create key ambiguity though? I’ve done it in tunes and started to wonder if the song felt like it was in a different key or something.... the flat 3 under a major chord is cool too - great things to work on - thanks!

Ted, all the time i thought Larry played some of the song with a pick. Thanks for the clarification. (p.s. if you are still in communications with my college classmate Kev, please tell him hi)

When I saw Prince, I thought you were going to talk about "When Doves Cry".

Love It Bro💯☮️👊🏾

Hey Man & everybody check out Shrizz & Maze live gigs They are hott Just discovered them & I have to say they have that P Funk at it ‘s peak Man I highly recommend

Love it! Thanks!

that bass line sounds like Steve Arrington - Weak At The Knees

Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾! Nice analysis of how P's bassplayers did this!

Here' a one note wonder Ted, the song Everyday People, Larry Graham is as you know playing it, peace!

I use Functional Ear Training on iOS. It’s pretty good and it’s free. I don’t think it has as many features as Ear Master, but so far I like it.

Hi from Switzerland! I love and appreciate all your content. I especially love when you are teahing funky tunes and ideas how to come up with funky grooves. Thank you for everything!

I've never come across a teacher or guide or a music study supervisor who took the time to define...for his public... Got a lot of wisdom there. Thank you!

Thank you!

The other day you asked what we would like out of your videos. This video made me realize what I want: I want a KZbin channel that will present songs, passages, grooves, or riffs that really demonstrate and focus on particular musical skills, ideas, or techniques that will help me advance my playing. Like, "We're going to listen to Tina Weymouth's bass line in "Take Me to the River". Listen to how she controls note length, and how that creates a driving groove. We're going to practice lifting off to control note length." There are lots of videos online of drills and exercises without context. There are lots of videos showing you how to play songs. What I've yet to find is someone presenting songs and skills together. In the short time I've been playing, what has accelerated my skills the most are songs that really highlight particular skills like this. But I've stumbled onto them randomly. I'd love an experienced guide who can save me time by pointing me to those songs that will provide "Aha!" moments.

I wish you would have got into "just a little bit" some of the things you said, "I'm not gonna get into that right now." 😅 Every time you started, I was like....yeah! Then you said, "I'm not gonna get into that right now."😮 Ugh!
