It was a long time coming for a lesson on this great bass line. I like how you explain Bernard Edwards' precision style of playing the notes. I know you explained it in other videos; I never get tired of seeing it. Nice fills too. I enjoyed this lesson on my bass. Great job Dan 👍!

@joannalewis5279 2 года назад

Thanks, I've always found the second part of the A section riff in A deceptive when learning it by ear. I always think I have it, then I hear it again and I realise I don't. Also, I love the Rappers Delight version and know that there is a difference, but I'm not really sure as I'm familiar with that more than the Chic song.

@andyhinds542 Год назад

You're absolutely correct. The Sugarhill Gang version samples and repeats the main bass riff whilst the original Chic version has parts that make it an actual structured song.

Excelent video!!! great sound ... and explainiing ... Wow!

Thanks so much!

LOL took me a good couple of hrs just to do the first couple of bars. Excellent tutorial Dan on breaking down how it should be played. Very tricky to get the feel, groove & timing down but I am getting there😁 What a fantastic player Bernard was.

@OnlineBassCourses 2 года назад

You’ll get there - keep up the playing!

@DmitryIsc199 Год назад

Quite useful stuff! I added some of these fills to my arsenal

Hey Dan, I am a member and not trying to give you a hard time, but Watch how Bernard actually plays this. Gives you a chance to climb the neck with Pentatonics

@Babymonkey6 Год назад

I think your such a wonderful teacher. So calm and easy-going and a truly genuine spirit. Thank you so much for all you do. May I ask how are you are creating your gorgeous tone. What are you running your Ernie ball through? Adam

@OnlineBassCourses Год назад

Thanks, Adam! 🙏🙏 very simple - just straight into Logic via an Avalon U5 and/or Jules Monique. No EQ or compression. The bass is a pre Ernie Ball 1978 StingRay.

@Babymonkey6 Год назад

Do you mean Rack Mount Monique?

@OnlineBassCourses Год назад

@@Babymonkey6 no. Stand-alone. You can see it in most of my videos to the left.

@andyhinds542 Год назад

You mentioned the Dorian mode in this video. I notice that the Dorian mode is quite popular. I worked it out as being the mode in Angie Baby by Helen Reddy. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I learnt it totally by ear.

@OnlineBassCourses Год назад

I’m not aware of that song but it could well be! If the notes fit that pattern then, yes, it’s Dorian.

@slq3263 2 года назад

Dan I've subscribed to your paid course and I'm enjoying It. Do you have a specific lesson on there for minor scales? Is there a pattern to minor scales like there is with major? As in; whole step whole step half step and so on? Thanks

@OnlineBassCourses 2 года назад

Thanks Sarah! I do have those lessons on RU-vid actually. Best thing to do is go to my channel page and use the search. There is a lesson or two on the course too. When you realise how major and minor scales are related (in the course too) it’ll click!

@slq3263 2 года назад

Thanks Dan. I assumed there would be a pattern for the minor if there's one for the major scale

do u ever saw bernard edwards doing it this way live?

PD: he never uses D string on the first riff

@OnlineBassCourses 4 месяца назад

Never got a chance to see him unfortunately.

@andresaenima9938 4 месяца назад

@@OnlineBassCourses pro bass and guitar players always try to avoid 0 air notes because in this particular case even though the notes are the same, the pops in btw and hons and poffs in this riff are a crucial ingredient
