How to Write Funky Disco Basslines like Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, SG Lewis 

The Electric Bass in the Guitar and Bass pack is particularly good for creating bass 'ghost notes'. This is what makes bass players like Jaco Pastorius sound so funky. Once you've written your bass line, go back and start adding extremely short notes in syncopated 16th positions in the high register. These notes are so short you can barely tell what pitch they are but they add a percussive magic that will bring your bass lines to life.

Bro the way you mix teaching with humor and the way you deliver both is so fun and engaging to watch... i mean i had fun learning music production from the start (despite it being pretty difficult) but your way of educating just pulls me in even more and almost makes me forget how hard it actually is... this shit makes me remember that i started out making music to have fun. I sometimes forget that until i come across another one of you vids. keep it up

I spit out my coffee when he said "It sounds like Humpty Dumpty has colon cancer" and I wasn't even drinking any

Never thought I'd learn so much about bass in a 10 min video. Thanks underbelly 🕺

0:59 "it's the sweet delicious glue that holds the pieces of the band together" **Yoko's picture**

Been making the best how to produce videos for years and still getting better. Thanks fella!

Bruh, I died at the bassist take upers and downerss thats why they always playing octaves. XD

The second part of the bassline reminds me Music sound better with you by stardust, excellent tutorial UB!!

This is the new gold standard for tutorial videos for any topic

Using A minor after C major was hilarious

This is one of the best tutorials i've ever seen. So helpful and the humor is on point. I love this guys teaching.

What a perfect video. I just started with Ableton & this whole producer thing less than a month ago so everything is very new to me. I’m happy with my progress but your video has taken me from the middle of the disco with a frown to groovin in the spotlight! You rock man! Keep it coming 👏👏👏

I honestly didn't expect to actually finish the video. But it's unexpectedly brilliant! Good on the democratized nature of RU-vid that can allow such unique voice to be published and heard!

My roomate says I should lay off the lines, but now I can hit all the lines I want, basslines that is. Thanks UB.

This was fucking amazing. Love the sense of humor, memes, music and talent! Great job mate, honestly.

Really like this format of videos, can't wait for new ones!

Always enlightening, always entertaining . Thanks UB Can’t wait to get a lesson from Prance again.

holy shit i love you man. This was awesome. I'm studying education in school and let me tell you brother there is a lot of professional educators who could stand to watch a couple of your videos. Not only are your basslines stylistic, but your teaching style is as well. Truly man, I'm blown away. I got five (5) good hearty laughs, and seven (7) chuckles out of this. Not only this, but I really do feel I've learned something today. It's true, I do suck at producing, but after this, I will be a little bit better, and one step closer to my goals. You have empowered, inspired, and humored me, and you have most definitely got my subscription. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning more from you. From the bottom of my heart brother, thank you. be well.

Laughing while learning is the greatest feeling. You're the best, Underbelly!

I'm a bass player by feel and sound alone and never thought learning core and basic music theory would up my bass playing. Thanks for this video i never knew that i was doing Chromatic motion all the time i decided to use a Diminished chord/note both on my bass and electric guitar playing.

at 3 minutes in I finally understood what is meant by playing along with the drums just by showing an actual example of it! Haven't found any video that explained it that simply lol

Your stuff is super fun and super informative. Good job.
