WE WANT THE FUNK!!

Mar 09, 2010 14:22

Learning bass is tricky, learning funk bass is damn near insurmountable!

I can say with honesty that funk bass is 1/4 technique, 1/4 groove, 1/4 finger strength, 1/4 Feeling.

Just popping and slapping dont make it funky, takes some love makin' to make it funky.

bass wasnt hard to learn at all. i kind of wish i still played it. Although I do technically have 3 of them.

Rudimentary bass yes, but I want to do things with it like Stanley Clarke, Louie Johnson, James Jamerson and Bernard Edwards.

What I'm trying to say is playing scary bass that will make most guitarists piss themselves with fear.

Louis Johnson is my idol... I just peed a little bit.

Clearly you are missing at least one half.

that could be taken any number of ways, so I will just say thanks! :)

I mean, you've only listed 4 quarters, here. For something to be truly hardcore, it has to be at least six quarters. Like, another quarter sequins, and another quarter Moses. X)

So less of the 70's porno and more of the Barry White eh?

rockstarpup March 12 2010, 10:55:01 UTC

sorta, more Bootsy and Bernard in this case.
