FUNKY BASS Line Every Bass Player SHOULD Know //

[@tbizzil]

Man you are a great teacher, I have been trying to learn how to play like this for years and I watched your video for the 1st few minutes and basically have it nailed Thank you very much I now actually sound like I've had classes

[@forddriver8827]

Thanks so much for your approach to these sweet Bass lines. I'm from Sydney, Australia, aged 53yo and just starting Bass guitar. I do play other instruments and learnt the basic blues scale years ago. Tiring of sitting down to play my whole life drums/keyboards/piano I always yearned to play Bass. Now in my 6th generation, I thought better late than never! I bought a Fender 'Players Series' Precision through one of my keyboard amps, an Ampeg BA-112. I am having so much fun, especially after half a lifetime of playing drums! Thanks again, Travis, I really appreciate the work & effort that goes into these #TMT's. Your site just appeared when I requested 'bass blues scale', straight away I knew I'd found exactly what I was after. Stay well, all the best and kind regards from Australia.

[@TravisDykes]

Thank you for the love!

[@ExtremelyAverage1]

I must say, my father owned a bass guitar for a bit, and I've been playing for many years. Good work, sir.

[@marklowe7431]

The way you slow right down to allow your students to absorb is very good. Great teacher and of course player.

[@udigproductions4677]

This is great! "All those who can do can't necessarily teach." You're a great teacher. Thank you!

[@mephitis4343]

Been playing for 10+ yrs, just had an "ah ha!" moment thanks to you!

[@everythingNotHere]

My music teacher used to tell me "you can't play it until you can sing it back to me" You givin me huge smile and goosebumps from that memory almost 30 years ago. She was right, and I ended up playin bass in her blues band. I gonna learn your jam here and do it proudly... Can't wait to apply this to a nice progression or two. Walkin to the ONE really opens things up! Thanks Sir.

[@dutchdrone1249]

Sometimes YT's algorythem brings joy and happyness, nice to mee you Travis! Awesome groove!

[@abgutierrez1344]

Those ghost notes are what make the groove/the funk. Love it. Thanks

[@emberklavins9567]

I watched this video last year before I picked up bass, and ever since I started learning 3 months ago I’ve been trying to find it. Makes me smile just as much as I remember, and I can play it myself whenever I want now!

[@archermoore6240]

[@pixelninja666]

First off, thank you!! Played for years and your videos are exactly what I needed for a different direction!! Just curious if you could post a link/new video of a breakdown of modes. Love this groove but would love something about the mode(s) you've referenced. Thank you again!

[@chekRecords]

Thanks Travis and congratulations.

[@razzo2538]

See...This is how babies are made. A funky groove like this and then some bumpin’ and grinding on the dance floor and Then, BOOM 💥 Baby in the crib.

[@lilmelvin11]

Cool! Quote attributed to Jack Bruce..."The job of the Bass player is to make the drummer sound good". Ha! Love that....

[@AleDeRosaMusic]

the bass player is the real drummer... but don't say it to the drummer.

[@pancakekiller91]

Gorgeous looking bass man!

[@eugenestrader1891]

Hey my brother. Just looked at one of your videos "Funky Bass Line". Man, Thank you for the new lick and thank you so much for being a big influence in the bass community. Stay cool bruh!

[@hankslapper]

Like the way ya sing it its a good way to learn thanks man

[@MoodOfMidas]

Some Tips if you want to learn the line: Go to 0:28 and set the video tempo to 0.75% speed! Just hover the cursor on 0:28 and when he finishes demonstrating, just click and jump back. When you can follow along good in 0.75%, set the speet to normal. If you can follow along in normal speed, get a 90bpm drumloop going and practice on your own.

[@babakhouman]

Thanks for the detailed description. Great line.

[@ChristianDrumnowsky]

Great Video, great explanation also for me as a beginner. Thanks man!

[@morethanaveragejoe8224]

I absolutely love Earth wind and fire. They have some cool bass lines. 😁🎸🌅🎶 I have been trying to get to grips with funky bass lines for a while and this is great because it is broken down in nice little stages which is awesome.😃

[@LightYearsAwayMusic]

This bass line is awesome ! I hear like an autotune artefact in your voice at 0:05 when you say "every bass player" 😂
