[@CoraStanley-ue7rw]

I grew up and cut my teeth on Earth Wind and Fire, Parliament Funkadelkic, Jackson 5, James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Stevie Wonder, Ohio Players, Doobie Brothers, Michael Jackson and many more like that. Great lessons, and content, most useful indeed. I am glad that I stumbled upon your channel today.

Thank you from Slovakia 🇸🇰, just bought my first base, I really enjoy your videos, trying to learn as much as possible. Thank you 🙏

[@jamescanzoneri1698]

The ghost notes just feel so natural...hard not to have them there, once you’ve got ‘em in your system. 😎

[@microkernel1980]

can you make a tutorial about funk and ghost notes?

[@mrwink6481]

[@theshootingguy2013]

Hey Bully! I am watching you from Hungary. Keep up the good work. Your lessions are gems! Easy to understand and very practical.

[@jackiehall2569]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen and now I am subscribed! I have played a lot through the years without knowing any theory, or even a single note....This video has opened up alot of stuff that I have just recently began studying. Thanks for the video, man.

[@stevecarlson4539]

Thanks for taking the time to lay it down. Great sound. We need more funk bands!!!

[@evelynboland9394]

[@jakeruddy9449]

This is so fun to learn. Love it

[@vincentm614]

I could tell you love the bass. I do too. Ive been playing for over 30 yrs and just learned to incorporate ghost or dead noted in my playing and I love it to death! Its brought my playing to a whole new level. It makes the bass sound beautiful when playing near the bridge pick up on my fretless jazz bass. Nice video thanks!

[@wesleyreed3534]

best bass lesson I've found on youtube. Thanks for sharing

[@KikoKay-Kay]

it was great fun. Simple, nice to the point and practical. Nothing special , but your passion on the thing made it worth while ^^ , and made a lot of concepts click into place. Those 2b3 and 6b7 shuffles just work wonders :3 Now to dive into the rest of your stuff

[@fredygump5578]

Suddenly, I believe I can play that funky music! (I tried to learn from a book, but it just wasn't working.)

[@LazyRadagast]

[@musicalala]

Man! Grew up listening to Sly ,etc EWF...I'm feeling everything you play. Your funk is so deep. I don't play bass( drums, guitar) but always love listening to good players. Now I wanna play bass!😆

[@denisblack9897]

[@michaelanthony9068]

[@HighStakesDanny]

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

"I believe that's right". I'm going to use that.

[@ec-hi1br]

GOOD TEACHER ! WE LEARN MUSIC, BUT THE FEELING MUST BE FOR THE MUSICIAN ! I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD OPEN A SCHOOL IN YOUR HOUSE !

[@RackwitzG]

Dude, this is the best funk tutorial I've seen so far. I just picked up my bass and am funkin' now! Thanks for sharing!

[@indigomontoya1970]

That's BASSicly what I do. Yes you do! Just got turned in to your channel. I subscribed within 5 min of the first lesson. Gotta get back into bass. I've been lack luster. Mahalo for sharing your passion

[@kennethmalone2856]

And after you practice and feel funky again..... Vote Fred Himself for President 2024!!!!🇱🇷📥🗳✅💯

[@Tanglangfa]

For variation or if the trill is too difficult, a triplet going 7b, 7, 8 sounds pretty dope as well. Nice did and nice ghost notes. Puttin stank on it!

[@Daantjer]

Haha you know something is supposed to be there when you try to leave em out and still play em aka dem ghost notes

[@jwright123456789]

Good shit man

[@timelesscreations777]

It's 22 guitarists that are pissed

[@BullyThaKidd]

Huh?

[@PhatPhrank]

@@BullyThaKidd he’s talking about the number of thumbs down on the video haha

[@wayland76]

Would like to see part 3; would also love more light and attention on the rhythm hand. :)

[@jeffbriggs4268]

I grew up listening to Sly and the Family Stone with their great bass players! Cool stuff. Great videos (part 1 and 2)!

[@alibav3154]

[@johndickson9664]

Thankyou from New Zealand!

[@mrbungle7586]

Good lessons for those trying 2 get funky. I call that trill sliding thing grease lol. Sounds great, much appreciated, cheers.

[@dacozdacoz]

Funk is Life Amen !!!!! It's in the Church !!!!!

[@whatsleft0]

You are a very good teacher, thank you for explaining these techniques!

[@MatheusFerreira-ks6ih]

thanks a lot for the tips ... please don't stop the videos because the way you explain it is amazing ... Hug here from Brazil

[@oldguyplaysbass6503]

That spicy B flat on the G string is the minor third of G ... when Kid slides it up to the B, that's the major third. That's a VERY cool way of dancing between minor/major and is super FUNKY! Thanks Kid. ? for you ... what is that bass? It's super cool! Couldn't quite make out the name on the headstock though. Cheers.

[@glueball9511]

ibanez tmb310! they stopped making that particular model, but i play a tmb30 shorty and they are really amazing instruments, and for the price essentially unbeatable

[@mamat7925]

Thank you. This is gold right here.

[@rancho9844]

Nobody: ...... Bully: *funk god* Bully's Chair: KRRRRRRKKKKKKKK

[@guitarsword1]

Great lesson Alan. U have to play in a funk band. Great stuff.

[@n34z3r]

Saw how hard it was for you to hold on the ghost notes.

[@captainbleedinobvious1684]

Hi dude, watched pt 1 subscribed on pt 2.

[@Cabbolet]

@Bully really nice two parts of playing, i wish i was that virtuous. You're leaving a vital part out, though which in my honest opinion is crucial in Funk, possible in music alltogether. You got to know when to NOT play a note. Funk allows you to go back to just the drum; add that coolness that makes it so unique. I believe is actually the absense of a note, which is the secret. Perhaps in your part 3 you can elaborate ?

[@BullyThaKidd]

Maybe

[@Cabbolet]

@@BullyThaKidd Sounds like a yes ! :D

[@Josmart53]

genial, muchas gracias.

[@eknight101]

Keep it on the 1 baby!!

[@caburn1]

Diamond geezer. Youre a star. Thanks.

[@endcivilizationnow]

Beautiful.... Thank you!

[@keksomg]

Thanks dude, making it look so simple. i'ma try out your grooving methods for sure. You made it very look easy to accesable! thx a lot!

[@supersam1914]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@anthonysilva5312]

Dope!

[@Learnquranwithfaris]

Very sincere and awesome lesson! Greetings from Singapore

[@gnalter]

wow u really can learn very much from your lesson, tyvm! but why is your bass doing this groovy sounds and these metallic doinks when u hit the strings. is it some sort of distortion? (sry i'm newbie in bass)

[@OldBeatleMan]

Thanks for another excellent video

[@malachication]

Damn, saw the Raider flag in the background! word.

[@larryblakeney5036]

Great video A.B. as always very informative and the funk just don't Stop, appreciate you bro. Peace !!

[@tennerondackbassman5271]

Allen Brown layin' it down. I'm like you, it hurts not to play ghost notes. ;^ ) Gotta have 'em. Keep it up man you're great.

[@richardrichard5409]

Love it, thanks for the upload. Like the colour in the bass, almost Chrysler Sublime :)

[@jwhite3389]

That line was nasty. Very funky!

[@francis1662]

Thanks man, very helpful

[@gregoryherson2095]

🎸🤘👍 great funk.

[@Guildsportsmedicine]

this bass is so funky..mine needs more spice

[@n34z3r]

Dug part 1 (and not a bass player just ENJOY Funk and your take). 👍🏾

[@armani077cc3]

Appreciate your skills bruh!!! Part 4,5 6???? Lol

[@jasonz1771]

Dudes funk just committed genocide with all those dead notes lol

[@BullyThaKidd]

I plead the 5th

[@jasonz1771]

@@BullyThaKidd I dont speak music, I learned by tab and by ear. I appreciate you showing your work sir. I noticed a lot of repeating patterns and used things I later learned were scales like the pentatonic. Maybe it's time to learn some theory lol.

[@hervederycke9693]

cool cool ! merci de France ;)

[@tonycurtis1856]

Nice..dude I'm cut out of the same cloth..I incorporate it in my church services pretty much as I've seen you do..to me technique is fine but you've got to be able to groove to play da funk...

[@lukepotter5863]

Are you using any pedals or special effects? If so please lmk, this sounds awesome

[@BullyThaKidd]

mxr envelope filter

[@monomamori]

Hahah it is real it's hard to remove ghost notes while playing funk!

[@mikarage3677]

Awesome! what pedal do you use on this video?

[@Chris-ob6es]

I love this video, another idea if you want more things to make would be funky beats/backing tracks that subscribers could play along to! Your off the cuff basslines that you play over are a 12 out of 10, and would be awesome if we could loop them!

[@jlkenzo7551]

nice

[@fredericderdaele3060]

Raw stuff ! You ' re dam good !

[@zoranjevtic620]

you are awesome funky, I love it!!

[@Phaidrus]

mega funky, brother! strings look quite bendable, what are they?

[@BullyThaKidd]

they are the stock strings that came with the bass but they feel like d'addario's... so ill say that.
