Bernard Edwards was a groove machine and yet he played so simple lines,mostly in A minor pentathonic That man has groove in his blood

[@dwaynereed2984]

Love the way you get right down to business without all the unnecessary dialogue!!!

[@HasanWarrior]

I don’t think I’ve written you before but now is the time. You are providing a great service to us bass players. Not all are gifted with an ear or at least it’s not developed yet. You provide a way for us to learn those songs that moved booties and were iconic bass lines by some of our greats. Thank you. I appreciate you taking your time to help the masses. Happy New Year! Keep On Groovin!

[@florainbass]

Thank you for your kind words. Happy New Year to you too!

[@arbitrarylib]

I use this as a bass booster version

[@davepowell1661]

The section with repeated bass phrase while the strings modulate is superb

[@EloyGijon67]

Thanks for your tab system which is the only one that helps learners. Other guys simply show "how they play" on youtube. To do that, rather not show anything. Some say that they play by hear so they dont use any tab. Lucky them! *** I just managed to play the solo part! Thanks again :)

[@terrykramer4289]

One of my favorite bass grooves in all genres of music. Good job playing too.

[@Whosagoodboi]

Incredible sound. I could never pull off this clean a sound with the "thumb on Pickup" Technique. So damn clean! Great job and thanks for the upload

[@willcarmack1242]

Flawless....Amazing job Brother.....have always loved and drawn to the bassline...it totally makes the tune...and I'm a guitarist....The whole song is a masterpiece...And you represent it to the max...Godspeed to you and your family...Much Respect from St Petersburg Florida ......

[@gabrielalatanzi9977]

Sensacional, maravilhoso!!

[@greatwhite61967]

Great to see Bernard Edwards bass playing is still out there, being learned & then played... Great cover, though the P Bass just isn't cutting it for this particular bass line & how Bernard got his sound... Keep up the playing as we need this to continue & be passed on to the next generation & then the next... Ps I was gutted, like millions of Chic & Bernard fans, when I head Bernard had passed away with pneumonia while on Tour with Chic in Japan... I've been lucky as I've had pneumonia twice & managed to live to tell the tale as its no joke & I can only guess his system was so run down that it couldn't fight it... In light of the still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in the world... .....

Bernard wanted "grease" in his strings. He didn't want bright. Flats work great for this bassline.

I don't usually like flatwounds but holy shit those strings sound sexy

[@jrdPalacios]

Great cover. Are these strings Thomastik flatwound jazz flats?

[@jean-charlesblot323]

Waouh ! I do like this song ! Just a remark: I hear, after the 8 bars of the beginning, after the E, a F sharp, a G and a E (3 notes) instead of a G and a G sharp (2 notes)...

[@user-ih7yf8gf8w]

Really nice job! Could you please describe the tone setup and mixing? Loved that tone

[@florainbass]

bass -> UAD Apollo Twin(soundcard) -> Pro Tools(audio mixing and some UAD plugins AmpegSVTVR, UA 1176, Pultec EQP-1A) on guitar volume and tone at max strings-Thomastik flatwound no amp

[@paulmeh]

Love the video. The tabs were really helpful when I was trying to learn this song. Also, I've been looking all over the internet for that Fiesta Red color bass and can't find anything other than the several thousand dollar ones. Do you mind sharing your setup for recording? I have started recording some bass cover videos and I just use an external Rode microphone on my Nikon camera and I don't get great sound quality. I'd really appreciate your help.

[@florainbass]

for start you need a soundcard (M-Audio, Focusrite,...) and software to recording the bass and playback song NO need microphone my setup: bass guitar in sound card UAD Apollo Twin with Pro Tools(DAW) export audio file wav import audio in video editor program and sync audio with video

[@HasanWarrior]

florainbass This is simple. Get yourself the Presonus USB 96. It comes with software and there is a guy online that is phenomenal in teaching it to you. Get this, For Free. He does have the full course you can buy and you can’t beat his price. I think he’s at: Simple Home Recording. Com He’s an excellent teacher too. Because of him, I learned how to record bass.

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

That wrist band suddenly makes everything seems nu-metal

[@karluskosta8164]

[@markpulling12]

Question I've been thinking about for ages ...how do you get the song without the bass so you add in the bass when you play ,?

[@florainbass]

with EQ plugin, roll down bass frequency not 100% effective, but...

[@markpulling12]

@@florainbass oh ok many thanks 👍

[@bonochelo]

2:50 the best!

[@MrSporkster]

Dat funk tho. o_O

[@martinheath5947]

The middle section works best with an open A (long note sustained) then a fretted D on the A string (short punchy note) rather than open D. Gives a push/pull feel to the two halves. Also the octave C C A C A CA notes need to lag a little more behind the beat to groove harder. Good job though!

[@augustopeloso]

Agree absolutely with the fretted D

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

“Comon down to fifty-four” Damn those were the days

[@tommasomandelli2812]

Does the 'x' mean an open string? sorry i'm a beginner

[@florainbass]

Dead note note that's heard as a thud without any pitch

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Yes. It’s obtained by plucking a string while muting it. Just don’t do it over a fret. I’ve done that accidentally while trying to play a dead note, and got a harmonic instead.
