Easy Bass Lesson | Dr. Funkenstein - Parliament

[@TheFlyer1984]

That's some old school nasty funk from back n the day. Nice job.

[@DeLucaBass]

+joe cool Thanks, I'm a PFunk type of guy so I gotta to keep da funk alive!

[@AmunDonniRa]

That's pretty funky, from a guy who played on the original recording, almost 50 years ago!!! 👑

[@DeLucaBass]

I appreciate you! Thanks for watching. 🤘

[@clouds7705]

Thank you so very much for this!!!! may the funk be with you! 🤘🎶🎶

[@0megaM0nkey]

Ain't nothin' but a party! Thank you for this! This song blew my mind when I first heard it. I've tried to learn the bassline a few times over the years, but kept getting distracted by all the passing notes so it never sounded right. It's good to have a solid foundation of the groove to build on. 😀

[@Vishyswaz]

thinking about buying a bass guitar to get into the p funk

[@SKIADK]

How hard/long do you hold dem chords? Sounds funk-da-fried. Love this.

[@staples1710]

Siik bassline! What equipment r u using? What do u recommend to get that funky tone?

[@teeoh9192]

What's the best way to practice muted notes, finger style?

[@DeLucaBass]

The easiest way is to put a piece of foam under your bridge to mute notes. The other way is to use your thumb and fingers. That involves muting the strings with your right hand(palm) and forearm while plucking the notes. I don't have a video on that yet but you can search on KZbin for it.

[@teeoh9192]

@@DeLucaBass Thanks for the tips & response! ✌🏿

[@antwaunclifton2460]

I agree

[@matt82654]

With @staples1710 what equipment are you using? Is that just an envelope filter?

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

The Docta!

[@aissounebelabbes1296]

what is the tempo?

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

I wish i could play this on guitar

[@aaaponte0613]

Whats that little node under the E tuning peg?

[@DeLucaBass]

That is a Detuner so I can drop that low E string down to a D. Those were really popular back in the day before 5 string basses got popular. I don't use it much anymore.

[@aaaponte0613]

DeLuca2277 wow that's crazy! Seen them around never knew what they were

[@beldar123]

It's in the key of D, not Am. Otherwise than that, good demo!

[@benfoster7017]

Ok

[@isaac_rodriguez17]

pretty sure its D mixolydian not A minor

[@beldar123]

Yup, it's in the key of D. Otherwise than that, good demo!
