    Bootsys Basic Funk Formula led me here a few months ago. Billy is giving us some true 1970's style bassline funk. The bass 🎸 is the back bone and spine of the funk. Everything else rides off of that. Keep funkin on Billy. Houston... We no longer have a problem. We have a legend!!!

    @kenwiltshire7834 4 роки тому +8

    Hey Allen, try putting that quarter note rest right before the ONE. Especially hard when the drummer does it also. But the small bit of silence before the one can make a tremendous difference. If the drummer makes a fill in that measure before the one, he should sometimes end his fill on that quarter note rest before coming down on the one. P-Funk was famous for this.

    • @bertbouton7157
      @bertbouton7157 Рік тому

      You are on the correct path. As long as you think of everything in terms of intervals, you have the formula for about every style you could want to play.
      My advice that helped me immensely. Do not think in terms of "scales". I just think of it as all derivatives of the Ionian and aeolian. I throw the augmented interval that corresponds to the mode or feeling I want. In fact I'm never thinking consciously about shapes at all anymore. Just intuitively reaching for the interval I want. Pretty much don't think of notes in terms of letters ever. Just numbers and derivatives of my 1 or whatever chord I'm on. Makes modal interplay incredibly intuitive.

    Dayyyymn this is exactly what I DREAM of one day being able to do! Fantastic. I'm not a bass-player as in at all. Not a string instrument player. Am a pianist and flute player - I do synth and produce my own as a bedroom producer, but since I always do bass-driven music - just on my synth - I thought: I should begin bass. Have insanely weak hands and joints though because of recent arthritis and so on, - I also struggle on the piano with that. But - bass is more of a downward bent joint movement so hoping it can be possible. - Anyway - THANK YOU for a very inspiring video. Fab!
