The first bass line I learned was Jungle Boogie. Hot Pants by James Brown as my warm-up song for a long time. Perfect for developing rhythm and feel.

This was fun entertaining and educational i play the piano but just watching this gets me pumped enough to want to play a few strings

[@TedTalksBass]

C’mon! Man come on over to the low side lol

[@ray-sr1350]

I like that you grab your Fender Precision Vintage Bass to demonstrate those classics….nice groove! I appreciate the lesson.

[@paulmurphy3406]

Excellent! Thanks for the cool lesson

[@TedTalksBass]

My pleasure!

And I was about to ask if there was a small group of songs to start “speaking the language” with and boom you deliver! ❤

Seeing that black jazz bass makes me miss playing a bit. Cool video.

[@1mespud]

The best entry level bassline to learn is no doubt Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People". One note only!

For singing coirdination practice, I love playing papa was a rolling stone. Its so hard.

[@TedTalksBass]

I got forced into singing and playing it a couple years ago on a three night Bourbon Street gig. Singers were all tied up so me and the keyboard player did the duties.

Happy New Year Ted 🎉.. I only have 4 string basses so I use Drop D tuning for Superstition which means I can then use a low E flat 👍🌈

[@geburu]

Happy New Year 🎉

[@alanwalley]

Great vid! What is the make and model of your bass?

[@TedTalksBass]

@@TheBbtlegit why would anyone be ok with that evil act? Why would you ask such a question?

[@TedTalksBass]

I’m good. Thank you. For the first time since Covid I didn’t have a gig.

Lame. Get better at life

[@ngolinyirenda6421]

@TomClarkSouthLondon Why hate !? I play 5s but l always keep 4 string phrasing in mind unless I absolutely cannot avoid the B string.

I really like your content. Is it okay if I give your channel a shout-out? I think your channel can help the subscribers I have. They ask me to do bass tutorials but I don't have the time as I make music as well as do bass covers and your skill and tutaledge is what they need, in my opinion. Happy New Year to you and have a great day. bro.🫡

[@TedTalksBass]

Yes of course. Happy new year
