British Bass Player Reacts: Sir Duke By Stevie Wonder

[@bostonaudi]

Excellent video! The players in bands like this are on another planet and make it look so easy.

[@williewombat52]

Your concept of talking us through songs like Sir Duke is great thanks!! There are many tutorials you've done already that would benefit from this treatment.

[@ebassguitar]

I’ll do more if folks like it… I really like this format…

[@Bassistdan1]

James - this is a GREAT idea! And with regards to "Sir Duke", I've seen so many players do play-alongs to this tune - some more competent than others....but every single person plays it differently - and they all sound good. I love the way you break the song down and explain the scales and techniques. This is really FANTASTIC, man! Thanks so much!

[@ebassguitar]

Glad you like it - we’ll do more!

[@bassrumblings]

Love how you are dissecting the song... more please!

[@ebassguitar]

Definitely!!!

[@martinrooth4644]

Love the concept James. How about ‘Hit me with your Rhythm Stick’

[@ebassguitar]

Definitely!

[@Loopspin]

James amazing to see how a pro analyzes a bass line! So quickly !

[@ebassguitar]

Cheers man! I have played it live a who bunch of times…

[@edwinengelbrecht3377]

Thanks for this lesson. I am sure that I will play this correctly from now on, now that I have the correct method. Thank you,thank you.

[@ebassguitar]

Happy to have helped Edwin!

[@andypeters6336]

Love the new format, brilliant, cheers.

[@ebassguitar]

Awesome! Thank you andy

[@frankverrico8804]

Love Sir Duke...great song. How about The Lemon Song off Led Zepplin ll...John Paul Jones on bass?

[@ebassguitar]

I’ll put that on the list!

[@andyhbassman]

Great analysis James - and a great song to start off with!

[@ebassguitar]

Brilliant I’ll keep going

[@jasonjump6019]

I like the new video tutorial! Keep it going! Hello from the USA!

[@ebassguitar]

Will do!

[@pierpaolonistri6874]

Quite advanced for me but a great lesson. I would say challenging to play but, as usual, easy to understand.

[@ebassguitar]

Pleased to hear it!

[@drmrgod]

I like this format!!

[@ebassguitar]

Brilliant!

[@liseauffray2119]

Great idea ... like indeed!

[@ebassguitar]

Cheers!

[@bikeandboatdude1031]

Love this idea. I am working on Sir Duke at the moment so this really helps. One under rated bass player I think is John Taylor from Duran Duran. I would like to see a reaction/analysis video on Rio please.

[@russsears9202]

Great series and everyone is picking wonderful tunes. I second The Lemon Song. Working on it now and I would love to see your take on it.

[@glaycer5694]

Anything by LARRY GRAHAM (bassist for SLY and the FAMILY STONE); creator of slap bass 😀

[@rdotkey]

I must agree - I really enjoy the reaction videos with analysis. How about the bassline from Tool's Schism? or maybe Lateralis?

[@ebassguitar]

I’ll put them on the list and really pleased you like the concept

[@dominicjohnson3866]

Good insights

[@ebassguitar]

Cheers Dominic!

[@fidfdez6191]

Good video, James!!! Any song from Stevie Winder and/or Michael Jackson is great bass guitar material for this series!!!

[@ebassguitar]

So much to explore!

[@Kyomeimei]

I like the New Video lesson. I would love to see a UB40 Song next time. How about "Kingston Town", "Watchdogs", "higher ground"or "matter of time" 😊

[@ebassguitar]

All great tunes!

[@martinrooth4644]

Even I can analyse Kingston Town 😂 Just Root and 5th.

[@ebassguitar]

What happens there?

[@andreailprogamer2799]

Stevie wonder

[@hakansvensson8430]

Hi! You must listening to Dirty Loops & Cory Wong cover of Michael Jacksons Thriller. Came out yeasterday. I love to hear your opinion on that. Can you do a reaction on that song? Håkan Svensson in Sweden.

[@ebassguitar]

Will definitely look into that! Thanks for sharing, cheers!

[@unkleian]

I am enjoying this, maybe it's my age, but I am having trouble hearing your bass - especially the lower registers on E and A strings. Also, the camera seems to go out of focus... but again, that my be my eyes. That said, I love your channel and everything you do for us mere mortals.

[@ebassguitar]

Glad you enjoy it! Will definitely look into it and see how I can improve the quality. Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers!

[@2theleft2theleft]

What about Stevie wonder - I wish?

[@josvanwassenhove]

what about Lullaby of Birdland; Amy Winehouse

[@ebassguitar]

Yeah! I will definitely look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@marksmusicplace3627]

you been playing sir duke for 20 years and never notice from the original record that nathan never played the bass intro with the horns but in the live concert you noticed he chosed not to play the intro either. HMMM 🤔

[@ebassguitar]

Yep! Sharing what I discovered mark…

[@pascaldamico8851]
