I've seen a lot of different bass 'lessons' or covers on this song, but I believe this is the only *CORRECT* version I've seen to date.

@theduppykillah 5 месяцев назад

This is the ONLY correct version on YT. The rest all get the intro double stop slide wrong then they play the rest of the track in first position. Of course it’s completely ok to play the track with your own variations and note choices, but this is an accurate score of this brilliant groove by Rainey

@rome8180 Год назад

This bass line almost seems predestined it's so perfect for the song. I think the biggest challenge as a bassist is to write something that's interesting that actually enhances the song rather than distracts. A lot of bassists will just settle for root notes so they're not obtrusive. But this bass line is a perfect example of how you can take advantage of space, countermelody, and syncopation to push against what's there in a positive way.

@greggr1591 Год назад

I saw on a retrospective that Walter Becker hummed this bass line to Chuck Rainey to get across what he wanted, and of course Julia aces it. This is a savvy group of Dan fans and you're keeping us happy!

@Peter_S_ Год назад

Thanks, Julia! A day which starts with a Steely Dan lesson by Julia is as good day indeed!

@pierregaude1528 5 месяцев назад

Listening to Steely Dan is like laying down in a hot summer night and watching the stars....making you feel really small and insignificant. These musicians are out of this world and it does not matter who is in the band at the time....bass ,keys, guitar whoever, will play along the line and not note for notes adding their own feel. But the real question is :"How do they do it?"

@davidpancerz5820 Месяц назад

Wow, I don't even play bass and watched this entire video. Have been listening to this track since the album was released in '77 and didn't know how sophisticated Mr. Rainey's part was. Sublime!

@DMLand 8 дней назад

I'm not a bassist, but I am a big fan of the instrument. You covered this perfectly, including little details so many others might have missed, such as NOT going back to the E on the first time through the figure in the intro, but doing so every other time. Also, your intonation is so clean. Great work!

@samuelhatman8995 Год назад

My Gosh!!! Like @szmkabels said: proper lesson, I am so grateful. Real notation, kind considerate pacing with metronome and coaching for nuances. This is the kind of course instruction I look for. Theory and pragmatic approach with a song to hook my fleeting attention to. Thank you Julia!

I often find myself having to learn 30 to 40 new songs for a band I just joined with pending gigs. In this situation, I cut to the chase and look for isolated bass tracks or bass lessons. This video is far and away the best bass lesson I have found on RU-vid! The flow and the pace are perfect for me! Thank you Julia Hofer! You will be the first place I check from now on!

@scottm7720 Год назад

Damn, that P bass has a really thick sound. I need to check out one of those.

@wiltner 3 месяца назад

That Bass line was jointly constructed by Chuck Rainey and Walter Becker. Becker was thinking Cop movie incidental music and Chuck embellished it. Great job breaking it down here. The making of AJA is a great Documentary.

@SteveWeltman Год назад

As always Julia CRUSHES her tutorials! Great post and this was super clear. I think that Josie was a really funky fun bass with lots of style (as in 70s bell bottoms and sequins, but I digress). Loved this, and I'm a fan of the Steely Dan popular songs like this. They recorded so clearly and with such excellent tone that its hard not to love their music if you like cool jazzy fusion like sounds. I will use this tutorial to learn how to play it better than I imagined I could previously.

I was hooked the first time I saw you here and the more I watch the more I like your content. I’ve seen a few videos today and they inspires me to dust off my old bass and try to learn some groovy bass lines. I’m just a happy amateur who used to play in a local rock band with some strong country influences. Nothing fancy really. But I really like the groove from the 70th. You have a sweet style Julia. There is something about the way you express your passion for music.

Steely Dan is always a good time on the bass guitar. Pretty cool Julia. Another band that is always fun on the bass, is early Chicago. I love comping Peter Cetera's bass lines. He's always been very underrated.

One of the coolest basslines played by one of the coolest bassplayers. Kudos to you Julia. I have loved playing this bassline and your expressions show you really are channelling Chuck Rainey. I note that it is evident that a bass player wrote this, unlike many songs that it is just a simple backing. He expertly provides a solid foundation but adds the tasty licks, runs and syncopation that makes this outstanding. André in Sydney
