Easy Bass Lesson | One Nation Under A Groove - Funkadelic

[@GooseDave]

Thanks @DeLuca - I first saw this lesson a couple of years ago but couldn't get it, as had just picked up the bass again at that point after a longgggg time. I only just came back to your genius lesson today. Glad I did - really enjoyable. Thank you sir! You put the fun into funky.

[@DeLucaBass]

Hey thanks for saying that. That’s a good lesson that just because you don’t don’t get it at first doesn’t mean you can’t come back to it at a later date. Believe me that happens to me too. There are songs I have trouble with at first but when I come back later the song is clearer to me and I hear what is happening better. 👍🏾😎👍🏾

I second this, I just started playing in March and couldnt get it, after having a dream about playing this song revisited this video and got it with almost no mistakes

Bernie Worell, "Dr. WOO," was a musical genius and one of the coolest and laid-back persons to meet. As a small child he was composing classical musical. Miss you much Bernie. You and Funkadelic and Parliament are the main reason I switched from drums, bass, and lead guitar to keyboard and synths. He was a MOOG man all the way!! Plus Clavinet and some other keys thrown in there. Miss you much. Always and encourager.

Let’s not forget, Mr. Ray Parker Jr. Wrote Mr. Telephone Man, music first. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ This sounds like Ray Parker’s music, “For Those Who Love To Dance” 🕺

[@EITRIONTV]

Boy you are so FUNKY!!!!! I love it

[@reggiekendrick2220]

Dope... One of my favorite songs of all time! Not only the bass, but that other guitar playing those intricate notes in the background.

[@bobbyy8369]

Yeah I think this style should come back. This would bring real talent back to the table, called a band. Great throwback my brutha!

[@DeLucaBass]

Thanks Brother, excellent Breakdown. Much appreciated. I'd love for you to do " Biological Speculation " from Funkadelic's classic "America Eats it's Young" album. Peace.

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Very good!

[@roadamerica2011]

Getting down just the funk of it. If you don't mind i'm going to download a couple of your videos. It helps me develop a better hear for what ever kind of music I'm listening to. It worked with a drummers tutorial. Thankyou.

[@DeLucaBass]

Go for it bro. Glad the videos are helping!

[@magicpassos]

Obrigado brother!

[@ministryofnonsense3692]

Will you do Superfly by Curtis Mayfield?! You teach well!

[@grepodstfj]

nice!!

[@gregoryherson2095]

Hi De Lucca, Thx for the lesson. Great tunes as usual. Any possibility of bass tabs for us novices pls?

[@DeLucaBass]

Sorry man I don't recommend using tabs plus even if I did I don't even know how to them write out!

[@fordhammie]

Gregory Herson Gregory Herson Tabs are easily created by transposing where DeLucca says to depress on the fretboard. Pull out a pic of Bass notes on the neck and write down where Em is; that’s your first transcription into tabs... ie. E| - -0- -0-2-2-3 (remember; tabs doesn’t reveal rhythm).

[@TimothyYancy]

It's funny how someone can come on your post and give it a thumbs down. If Stanley Clark gave you a thumbs down it would be different and still a compliment. You got mad skills.

[@DeLucaBass]

Thanks man. There's haters out there even for the best players and their videos. It is what it is. LOL

[@Torihope1000]

Professor Yancy right??? And probably can’t even PLAY an instrument. Sigh

[@frontkickentertainment8190]

@Deluca2277 what's up with that Rising to the Top by Keni Burke????

[@funk_and_me]

do you have the bass tab for this?

[@tracyhousepha]

is that how you funking feel about it ....\m/ keep the funk alive bro

[@DeLucaBass]

lol hell yeah!!

[@charlesjohnson9563]

Can you illustrate the baseline for laid back white horse

[@uncoil]

Nice video, DeLuca. Hoping we get Groovallegiance at some point :D

[@DeLucaBass]

Tabletop I need to listen to that one! lol

[@ivanmassey930]

How do I get that tone

[@DeLucaBass]

+Ivan Massey Well that depends on several things... 1. Your instrument 2. Your amp 3. EQ settings/Effects 4. Lastly...Your fingers and how you attack the instrument. So try different things until you get the tone you like. For me I am always trying to get better tone and its a constant thing I strive for.

[@antwaunclifton2460]

Bruh can you please turn up ur volume. Having trouble hearing what you are saying and doing. Thx a lot

[@glennglenn440]

how could any one give this a thumbs down? probably Eminem fans , stupid people. back to the topic, youve done well I just saw this and your ray parker jr video THUMBS BEEPING UP Can you do Bounce Rock Skate Roll>?

[@DeLucaBass]
