Program and Play Funky Moog Bass 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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 ...

This!!! THIS is why I love Matt's vids!! Unlike Rick Beato's "and now comes this part...", Matt actually explains you the WHY and the HOW!

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.

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! 😂

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!

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

Trilled those D, E keys into the service shop.

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

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

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).

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

So spicy......

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

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

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

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

Love when pros drop practical useful wisdom without overwhelming you

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.

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

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 RU-vid in terms of wisdom, quality and relevance.

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

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 !

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.

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!

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

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

This is an underrated channel

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

Minimoog King the instruments everywhere

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

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

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

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!!

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

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!

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

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

2:39 Trill 3:18 Grace note 3:30 Octave 3:42 Approach note 4:20

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.

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

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 👏🏾

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!

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

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!

It's a rare pleasure to hear someone who can actually play. Most shameless people on YT just rattling f...g arpeggios. Thank you Matt!

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

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.

Pure gold!

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 🙏🏾

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.

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

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.

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

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

Super Great! I really like your playing!

Imposible not to move while watching this video. So groovy!

Audaciously funky sir.

Wow! An all black colored MiniMoog!? I always thought that’s the kind Giorgio Moroder was standing by in a photo of him from the late 70’s but I can only find brown colored ones on line for sale! Crazy cool!

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

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

Just awesome. You play and sound amazing.

It's quite a privilege to watch your videos

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

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

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

Another smasher, Matt. Thanks!

I love this bass, thank you. I got the file from the shop and imported the files to "john melas waveform editor". Now I play the Moog on my Yamaha MODX :)

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

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!

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

@7:55 dude that's my problem with most presets on a new keyboard. They're all kind of demos of what the machine is capable of but are sounds that are completely impractical unless a track is written around that very specific and hard to modify sound. Thanks as always for some practical edification!

Thanks for sharing the technique. It’s what I’ve been missing. 👍

Now I can play She's A Bad Mama Jama all day long!

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! 😎

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

A true SYNTHMASTER

This synth sounds so good yo!

i am this person you described as "it sucks" if I would play this. Love your videos man

That Moog is so juicy and meaty!

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

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Also, I really love viewing your wife's RU-vid channel. I do wish she would include English subtitles for this non-Japanese speaker.

Love your work Matt.

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

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

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...🎹🎹🎹✌️

Thanks Matt. your tutorials are pure gold.

those bass lines are registered weapons of massive funk destruction

Wicked.. Yes MaaaaN.. Big up from London uk
