10 MUST KNOW AFRICAN MAKOSSA, SEBEN, CALYPSO, SOUKOUS BASSLINES | BASSMATICS 

The beautiful thing about this lesson is that it's a gradual process of playing makossa lines that covers from Beginners Level to Advanced level. Nice one Bassmatics. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

You're a good teacher.... God bless you keep it up🤗

I liked the 4th groove especially. It was part of the breakdown in the song "Attentat" by Koffi Olomide from the album Attentat played by veteran bassist Binda Bass. I started dancing when I heard it. Much respect Bassmatics.

The first groove is the best❤😂

The lesson u shared is worth millions. Ur a great human being, lovely humble person and artist. Love u and God bless u and ur family. ( from Bharat)

From haiti❤❤❤❤ respect

You are so gentle and a good instructor. You are my mentor. Thanks a lot for helping us out here.

This guy is the real deal, No other bass player is this genuine!

I love African music so much. I have been trying to play by ear but I could not nail all the notes. Thank you for this video. I cannot stop smiling watching this video. Thank you 😂.

5th groove is my fav

This is a really nice lesson, I’ve been struggling with playing my grooves but I know this video will definitely help me out. Thank you sir

I'm a bass player, and my playing is mostly based on rock lines. Gradually I started craving for makosa bass lines,I want new ones actually I don't wanna be stuck playing the ones I know. I decided to come to RU-vid and find some makosa bass lessons/breakdown, then bass matics was suggested for me when I searched for makosa bass lines. To be very honest this was just all I wanted and you showing solfa notes, is legit, thanks man!💯 And I actually loved the groove you played for "dance like a winner man" in a live program u uploaded on RU-vid. If u wanna understand this lessons don't just jump into any line u want, even if you feel u are a pro start from the beginning, practice it, develop ur muscle memory of the groove, learn how to play it steadily, and move to the next one. And make sure you mute any other stuff that u are brain is actually trying to put into the groove you're listening to (lol it happens to me all the time) or else you'll only be stuck to playing the things u can play and to learn a new thing is gonna be an issue.

Thank you man. I played all these basslines on keyboard and it was so cool that the church even thought it was a real bass because of the way I set it.

Bassmatic I dey feel your makossa groove from there. You just make understand that bass guitar is easy and so interesting.

Best African Bass instructor I found on RU-vid!....well done sir. Breaking the progression down and showing the solfa notation really, really helps. Thank you. Subscribed.

Chai! My God. May the lord continue to increase you, more Grace, more fire, more wisdom in Jesus name..... Amen. Weldon sir bassmatics ❤

Nothing here has to do with makossa what you beautifully play here and I am grateful for that is congolese style makossa is from cameroon and for that you probably should listen to Aladji Toure, Toto Guillaume, Guy Sangue, Kotto Bass and the likes

Nice one bro ....
