Program and Play Funky Moog Bass

[@TICKAez]

This guy is so likeable, I’m not even a keyboardist but I can watch these videos for days.

[@lanmichaelmix2818]

but you like synthesizers lol,you want to play but you didn't try to learn

[@andreschato]

Matt, you have been making my weekends so much better amongst all this chaos. I'm being thaught funky beats by one of my childhood's favorite musicians. Thanks for doing this man!

[@mari_makeupbrows]

So true!

[@aseomg]

Those keys are the colors of my teeth...I’m officially vintage, lol

[@InderNett4tube]

Could be a business idea: teeth color key stickers to make your cheap behringer stuff look more vintage. 🤣

[@jxy_vbn8156]

That’s fuckin rank but it made me laugh fucks sake 😭💀

[@doctorworm3735]

Got so much tartar you don't have to dip your fish sticks in sh*t

[@clivewarren780]

You must be British lol

[@althejazzman]

Matt's so funky that even the gap at 5:00 is exactly 4 bars, like some 70's MC.

[@premiumbackgroundmusic]

Man, I've been trying to learn some funky basslines on keyboards for like 10 years now, but never found anyone that explained it nearly as good as you, you're doing gods work sir.

[@sevchyk]

He didn’t explain the main part, how to program the fucking sound.

[@keyboardbw]

You're a legend and deserve way more than 50k subs, seriously.

[@midiman5045]

People don't appreciate a musician and a instrument these days unless he is playing some body's else's sampled licks via a computer. The music business is all B.S.

[@GizzyDillespee]

I thought I had. Sorry about that, just fixed it. Catching up on the past month's vids. He's up to 63.8k since your comment, so if it was accurate at the time... progress!

[@jesseurena5153]

deserves 1 million plus!

[@blt1985]

Checkout his "With the Music" album - unreal

[@BryWMac]

@@midiman5045 why do FKJ, Vulfpeck, Snarky Puppy and more do so well on KZbin then? Give this channel time and it will blossom, no doubt about it.

[@EnricoDePaoli]

A real master is someone who makes something ingenious seem so simple, being able to break it down in excellent explanations. Amazing video. Amazing sound. Amazing playing. Thank you Matt!

[@jabez36]

Love when pros drop practical useful wisdom without overwhelming you

[@chasjazzz7842]

He's Always dropping Knowledge. I'm chasing skills and not samples. Notice how clean his runs are. Thousands of hours of scales, thats the magic. Ya'll can find me in the lab. Best to all those out there

[@thebreathalyzer]

"Playing the sound" is the single most important aspect of synth playing.

[@oholm09]

I can do that on my behringer poly d and model d or phatty little moog

[@stevengr4]

I'm always happy for a new alert from this channel. On a different note, if you turn off the autofocus on the camera, you won't see the lens "breath" when it choses a new focus point. Obv, you risk recording an entire session out of focus if the manual focus point if off.

[@darshan6149]

Oh my God.. seriously..man this is holy shit.!!!!.u have been searching for this kinda video since 6 years in KZbin..today u posted it.thanks a ton❤

[@DKH712]

These videos are gold! I love how clearly you explain the ideas with little jargon. Makes it easy for me as a non keyboard player synth owner to follow along and pick up ideas for my own playing

[@jasonmcgary]

I was gonna ask a question but just watched the video and all questions answered.

[@ujicosnail]

So spicy......

[@gersten1008]

cool to see you here!

[@JaCKal_0000]

[@mattlinley7298]

One of the best keys players on the scene today love it definitely gives me tons of inspiration

[@DonSolaris]

This!!! THIS is why I love Matt's vids!! Matt actually explains you the WHY and the HOW!

[@Ace_of_DiscaL]

Hahahaha

[@BrettPrice1983]

This channel is a gold mine! You'll be to 100k in no time. It's your giving nature and talent

[@ronshatzmill]

God bless you man for giving us joy in these hard times. Keep these coming. Every video you have has been so far above the rest of KZbin in terms of wisdom, quality and relevance.

[@sincerelymace]

Although I wouldn't be able to play like this in 100 years I can easily grasp the concept really clearly! Goes to show how well you're doing explaining these. So so good 👏🏾

[@phelie78]

Matt, just wanted to add my thanks to the already massive and well deserved positive feedback ! You’re a wonderful teacher, this is great fun to learn your playing style, I replicated the bass sound with my Matrixbrute but as you said, playing makes the difference, not the sound, hence will keep up learning and having fun ! Thanks again

[@TheTonyTitan]

This is an underrated channel

[@handmadeindustrial]

This channel is a goldmine for a beginner player. So much wisdom shared, and the simple things that usually get overlooked by many videos, are brought to the forefront. I’m inspired, lucky I got a poly d for Christmas!

[@OuijTube]

The joy is infectious.

[@Frakaphoto]

beginner ? 40 years after i learn so much with him

[@Nathanaelsun22]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Thanks for putting this stuff up. Excellent master class. Love how simply you break it down and the things you point out are essential and hearing them from you the way you speak of them is essential. Ultimate vibes to you!

[@Frakaphoto]

man, you are starting so big the funk that you will received pourcentage of each next gen song till 2040

[@carloslx]

Love it how you control impeccable tempo, when you speak over the beat and bring the bass back.

[@themfu]

This channel will grow and grow and grow.. personally i been keeping it locked right here. thank you very much Matt for continuing to post.

[@monihunziger8638]

To me by far the one of the best content on KZbin! Love it. "High-grade" content. Provided by an "industry professional" and not from "KZbin influencer"! Thank you for sharing

[@freq-of-nature7699]

That Moog looks like its earned its supper over the years! beautiful bit of kit.

[@ImaginationBlue]

Back again, just love you Matt. It was a Jamiroquai song called Blow Your Mind, I first heard in the early 90s in a GAP store, and I hounded the poor girl working there until she finally came back with the name of the band- boom. Been into your work ever since. Thanks buddy.

[@gophercrow]

Of all the funky goodness and tips in this video, I appreciate the advice about sound design and sitting in the mix the most. So important. Great content, as always, Matt!

[@teem5945]

I'm appreciating this channel. Right from the heart of our idols.

[@philippezsiga1125]

Hi Matt, i have the moog reissue of the model D and because of my playing technique i was feeling that i didn t deserve it. After watching this video i have understood all that really matters to play nice basss lines i am going to work hard to play like you. Once again thank you so much Matt. This is the best channel on u tube for synth technique.

[@philippezsiga1125]

and stay safe! Best regards from France

[@neolojism]

Getting my daily hit of Matt Johnson as my way of stopping and smelling the roses.

[@Rednas34]

Wooot! soo super funky!! You are such a musical genius Matt! Keep it up.

[@thefrankfactorshow]

Awesome to see you have doubled subs in the last year! This video is very well done thank you!

[@bboyknowledge85]

Your so great!!! Best synth bass tutorial I've ever seen and ive seen a few. Im a huge fan. Its so dope your such an iconic player and you are making dope content at the same time and let everyone drool over your studio!!! THANK YOU!!

[@athenagorasmusic]

Audaciously funky sir.

[@sinetwo]

Matt, this is such a high quality video, super clear and to the point. I can barely contain the funk in this video!

[@MyVinylRips]

This is great stuff! And from a master whose synth riffs I've been admiring for so long!

[@tromboli64]

7:50 So wise words... to get a sound is easy but to use it is a different story... Thank You so very much for sharing all this. Bless You !

[@suga4all]

Matt you are a f... legend! From that video I was able to 100% replicate that sound on my Poly D (so kudos to Uli Behringer as well!). Its such a fun to vibe around with it!

[@robalbalos]

Man! Your funking good! Thank you. These are fabulous little tricks that give that bass line life.

[@VintageVibePiano]

We love you Matt! Your Moog bass is like no other!!

[@dmitrysablin1163]

Ohhh how good is that! You are definitely my all time best keyboard teacher, thank you so much!

[@bobholmes4215]

I never thought I could learn so much about how to make a good bass line.

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Awesome once again. Every time you post i try to learn exactly what you've played and then question the validity of "just copying" what you've done, but then Iater have a "Wax on wax off" moment and realise that the techniques get absorbed for when I next just have a jam. Keep em coming!

[@pekkagronfors7304]

Thanks Matt. I'm practice this on my Yamaha CS-15. Grateful for your input

[@lephilb]

50 k subscriber at such level of Art Practice ?! While stupid synth demonstrators are doing millions.. I tell you world is going crazy. Thanks a lot for these pure moments of joy and lessons ...

[@mainmajo]

I love the „fastness“ of you fingers and play that like easy. 🎹❤️🎧🎼👍

[@roblewis5044]

Great advice, awesome playing and gorgeous moog, thanks.

[@yaronbrecher7397]

matt is not only a uniqe musician but an expert on programing numcer one bravo

[@lt15_27]

I like so much the way you alternate staccato and legato (gliding)...

[@lundsweden]

I don't have a Minimoog, but I have the Behringer Model D which is pretty much the same thing. I'll be trying these sounds and licks out for sure!

[@kamiltamiola2066]

Matt, I love your work and show! Keep up the good work, Sir!

[@lesalmin]

I'll never learn to play like you but these videos are a great help when I'm creating styles for Band-In-A-Box.

[@lulio926]

It's quite a privilege to watch your videos

[@christophertodman8254]

As a guitar player and a middling keys player I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks!

[@AlexG-bc7ji]

Great content as always! One thing I'd love to see you cover is stuff do with your left hand when you're playing with a bass player and don't want to step on their toes too much.

[@coloaten6682]

Seconded! :)

[@unclemick-synths]

As a bassist I wish I could like this comment more than once! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@bencorbett6423]

4:35 - Every time MJ says "Let me try that with a beat" you better strap in...

[@SunlightOfTheSpirit]

Trilled those D, E keys into the service shop.

[@parlaydoubleup]

Thank you Mr Johnson!! I worked on it for a couple days and I’m getting the technique down!! Please don’t stop anything 😂🎉🎉🎉

[@soundneil]

Thanks Matt, that was great, I got lots of ideas from that, thank you for sharing and very best wishes, Neil

[@dodgedforgottenn]

Great sound. Great playing. Great video! Thank you so much.

[@dreamup8431]

I just discovered that I love this sound. I need to explore more funk music!

[@RayAndre]

Now I just need a MASTER level understanding of jazz harmony, amazing compositional skills, and a Moog... then I'll make Stevie Wonder level music! 😂

[@AndrewBeveridge461]

With a mono synth, at least you only need to know harmony one note at a time lol

[@michaelt_tamtam]

As a bass guitar player, this is the way I naturally play monosynths. Great video, man

[@Schilliebillie]

Lovely Matt - thank you. Great licks. I own an old Minimoog but have to confess I grab the Arturia more and more.

[@nigelrogers8690]

Brilliant, I love the sound of the Moog on my ipad. Obviously it's not got anywhere near the same sound as the original analogue but it's great fun and your playing tips are invaluable. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏾

[@kwaping]

Thank you so much for this video, the combination of sound design and technique lesson is simply brilliant. I think we could all use technique hints even more than sound design, since a good lick will make up for an imperfect sound every time.

[@unclemick-synths]

I love how Paolo @Synthmania can find the right technique for even the lamest patch.

[@markmallinder7618]

This knowledge and enlightenment from a top professional is like gold dust! Thank you so much! 😀

[@markusfuller]

Thanks Matt. your tutorials are pure gold.

[@mazzsilver8557]

Fab matt.... Thanks for taking time for this one , it's helped a lot .... Sounding Delicious by the way.. And those drums we're gorgeous! All the best mate...🎹🎹🎹✌️

[@josephcook-lyon5203]

The world is a more funky place now, thankyou sir!

[@Statters42]

Excellent video Matt, I have been trying to integrate synth sounds with my band mates (guitars and drums) with little success and usually end up with as you say 'bread and butter sounds'. Watching you play and hearing the different sounds through your techniques is so refreshing as the context is there. Thanks again and I will look through your other videos for more on playing keys in a band.

[@ThomAdams]

Over 50K... you deserve it. Brother, keep on bringin' dat funk!! loveandpeace.

[@AxelsoftMusic]

Awesome... Awesome... Awesome... what more can I say Matt - thx for sharing this. Best Regards, Axel.

[@Hyper5nic]

Really enjoyed this and will make good use of your tips. 52.4 k subscribers and rising! Keep it up!

[@MySamples]

Super Great! I really like your playing!

[@tomweber3461]

Fonky Fonky, i immediately started to move my head to this cool bass line...

[@alejandroruvalcaba1653]

i am trying to start learning keyboard/synth, and these videos are great ! make me want to learn asap!!!

[@stephenpisani5727]

Your vids have been incredibly helpful and inspiring to me. Thanks so much!

[@peterkenney9158]

Thanks, Matt. Picking up so many useful ideas from these videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Edit - just seen there’s a separate video with the programming bit.

[@jeffspc88mx]

This takes me back 40 years to all the music stores I ever visited just to 'gah' over the then-unobtainable Oberheims, Prophets, Crumars, that Kurz 100, all the rest. (Eventually I got a used DX7 - joy).

[@jgoney]

DX7 rules! I'd love to see Matt get funky with some of those dope "cliché" DX7 tones.

[@mistymorning7816]

Love the Moog bass sound! Recently got the VST and messing around with it is pretty fun.

[@Jmorris4000]

Just picked up a Moog Slim Phatty to go with my Korg Prophecy. It's pretty cool, it's got the Mini sound with the Prophecy's action and control.

[@funkykoval2099]

Thanks sir! Till now I always thought that these legato sounds come from wheel modulator under left hand...

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

Love that fat Sound 😻 your workshops are brilliant..keep up the great tutorials

[@midiman5045]

Matt that was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FunkyYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks for the info. Nice playing, be safe..

[@samueljubalmusic]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are so educational and inspirational!!

[@markcrowl2805]

I can't thank you enough for your videos. So informative. Thanks being such a kind and sharing person.

[@stephaneducroquet2617]

Hum.... what a pleasure, thanks a lot !! Would like soooooo much to be back in time at "Les Voix du Gaou", loved so much this live in this amazing place !

[@Art-zs6sl]

Thank you! This is great for now, and tomorrow.

[@Jimantronic]

What a great guide, thanks Matt for being so generous with your knowledge, it's very much appreciated 🙂

[@Zaque-TV]

Dude I was dancing to this whole lesson lol. The moog bass groove can't be avoided.

[@paolorusso9077]

Thanks for this really useful explanations! I really enjoyed the funky inside 👍

[@1970piano]

Thanks, Matt for this inspirational video again! For playing your lesson, I created a very „moogish“ bass presets on my new Prophet 10 Rev4. Works fine for me! 😎

[@donguiddodilozzo1906]

Such a source of inspiration Matt!!! Thanks !!!

[@Tetherel]

Great video Matt appreciate the tips! This is the one I've been waiting for. However it would be nice for you to do a quick overview of a starting point for creating a Moog synth-based patch. I know you mentioned it's custom for every track, but for us less experienced having a starting point to build off of would be really great! You da man.

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

I filmed a whole segment showing how to get the sound and forgot to include! Will upload next week
