Bernard didn't slap that much. But boy did he know how to groove. I just love this solo. Loads of string bends and just one or two notes that hit it down mean - a great, great player. What a bass sound - doesn't try to copy Bernard but does his own thing in the same spirit - truly awesome.
Nile Rodgers is a freakin genius producer arranger everything he touches turns to gold(or multi platinum) whether it's Duran's first #1s or madonna's #1s or Bowie's #1 or Diana Ross's or Sheena Easton's.
Bernard Edwards, none can touch Bernard Edwards Simple as that, no one can touch Nile Rodgers too, his unique style wont be covered. Both inventend modern music.
Love Jerry Barnes... As some of you may know (or may not!) he and his sister Katreese were the founding members of Funk band JUICY who had some great hits on their own (Sugar Free was one of them). Their 1st LP was produced by Deodato...
Yes I agree this cat is more Marcus Miller than The Great Bernard Edwards............Bottom line Alfa, Luci, Tony and Bernard there is no replacing them Nile period. Chic is done as a live act but the music will live on forever.
Why has no one mentioned LARRY GRAHAM !!! but forget the three o dem, J B, M M & L G, there were thousands and thousands of iconic soul and Funk records made the 60/70 & 80s, including all those early 70s 45s, all with the the base as the main part and most soul inspiring part of the song, so what I want to know is, where did so many people get all those groovy baselines from ? How did they think them up in their heads. Amazing .
Why are people downing Jerry Barnes. True, he is no Bernard, but man, you have to admit that he definately holds his own. I play bass, and to me, Jerry has the right funk for this type of music. He is the perfect replacement for the "Great Bernard Edwards". Just listen to how Jerry is thumpin and pickin that bass. You can almost hear that guitar beggin for mercy, and at the same time lovin how it is being played. Jerry is a very good fit for CHIC. My opinion, like it or not.
As good as Jerry Barnes is, with all due respect, Bernard Edwards was the other great creator behind Chic. All the bass lines that made Chic came from Bernard.
I like Jerry Barnes bass playing a lot, but sometimes, he steps all over the songs and ruins the feel of Chic. Not here obviously, since this is a little jam session within a song.

Barry johnson better that him
FROM ONE BASS PLAYER TO ANOTHER,JERRY BARNES KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOIN,SOUNDS GREAT!!!
Bernard was pure genius, but Jerry is no slouch. The guy is fantastic!!!
Jerry is a virtuoso. Bernard wrote the successful bass riffs that we are still humming today...
This GENIUS wrote literally 1000’s of great songs THANKS NILE !❤
Well, if he is good enough for Nile Rodgers... he is good enough!
Nile Rodgers is a freakin genius producer arranger everything he touches turns to gold(or multi platinum) whether it's Duran's first #1s or madonna's #1s or Bowie's #1 or Diana Ross's or Sheena Easton's.
I can listen to this all day. A huge fan of the legendary Nile Rodgers. I hope to hear them play live some day.
My jaw litterally buried itself in the floor.
TheSkipjack95 listen to Chic cheer on experience chic live from Amsterdam.
He has more in common with Marcus than with Bernard.
Much more. Bernard was a slick player.
Jerry is a true musician as well and a very nice guy.
Bernard Edwards, none can touch Bernard Edwards

yep about right my friend

The best Bass Session I've ever heard....
Jerry Barnes has soul.
R.i.P. Bernard Edwards.
just stumbled across this. what a performance, awesome
The only reason 4people disliked this is because they've mis-hit 'dislike' from the ridiculous funky beats that make you tremble!
10 years since I first heard this and it's still the funkiest, grooviest thing to ever enter my brain.
This is severely heavy! Jerry Barnes with Omar Hakim on the drums, grooves do not get much better.
Very very good
R.I.P Bernard Edwards. At least your successor Jerry Barns loved you a put everything into being as good as you.
He is such a nice person too, I got the chance to meet him in Belgium, Genk .
Saw them live and on acid. What a Fucking funky disco trip in Manchester, UK!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
MONSTRUEUX !!
Jerry's bass has the tone I love , Benard is missed
God was a black funk bass player.
No he wasn't, he got too many things wrong.
@@gimmeagig lmao
Show,nota 10!
Super músicos.
Yes I agree this cat is more Marcus Miller than The Great Bernard Edwards............Bottom line Alfa, Luci, Tony and Bernard there is no replacing them Nile period. Chic is done as a live act but the music will live on forever.
great tone and cool licks!
The funk masters.

Omar Hakim holding the groove for them both.
Nice Shur bass, i love it
Brilliant
Great !!!!

I prefer Bernard's finger style groove over this slap by far!!
Yeah. But nobody can play that way.
Same

Same
Same here
Nard is smiling down from above!
Man look at theses brother smacking down on them G-tars..Just cannot get ENOUGH OF THIS FUNK right here...And I Try...🎸🎸

Yes, sounds more like Marcus or Stanley than Bernard.
…, and he plays with cable, the full sound through the wire. What a god,....
on bass,,yup..that's the funk
Respect Jerry! Bernard was Bernard and that's that. But Jerry is Jerry! Big up man
Someone light a match!! the funk is too strong!!!

This is Black Motown RUSH, baby!!!
Let me share.
Thanks!
I just want to say a group listen to shake your guys inspire me to be a better musician Mr. Edward's I lyses bass player
How do you get that bass tone
Oh cool dosent he have some custom suhr jazz basses as well
Rory Sanger very true sir
It's in those damn fingers man
Without either one of them it isn’t chic. As much as I love this and jerry. You need both Bernard and nile for it to be chic
Pensa by the looks of it.
Eastern NC! Jerry is one bad micky ficky.
Nice play
BERNARD EDWARDS IS THE BEST
👍🏽
I almost fell off my chair! 2:56
holy f*
Bass tab pls
I just shit my pants...
Anyone know what make of bass guitar he plays?
@@Henry60217 Just wrong. He plays Atelier Z basses, take a look at the headstock.
in this video he is playing a custom pensa jazz bass
1:45
🎣
My bass teacher is from North Carolina and when he showed me how to slap the first thing he said was "I bet you didnt know I had so much black in me"
Holy shit this video was like crack for the ears
Marcus Miller , come out of this body!!!
you´re right vstrings
Jerry is awesome, but the closet person to play like Bernard is Raphael Saddiq! Raphael even said his style is influenced by Bernard.
nahh,,magic come from Bass
Did Nile cuss @1:23??🤣
You cannot compare the funk of Bernard Edwards with some technical slap pop playing. OK Slap is faster but it doesn't have more feel!
Bernard was funkier just playing 2 single notes and of course without slapping.
I'm pretty sure if he couldn't groove, he wouldn't be in Chic now would he?
A load of mush. Not Bernard Edwards.
This is so dirty, damn

2:30 the shit is happening

@davie504
@Davie504
His Bass is a Sadowsky made in NYC.
I prefer barry johnson
I agree
Sorry, Jerry is a decent bassist in his own right but does not come anywhere close to Bernard. And his slappin is rather uninteresting, oh well...
You are right Paolo. Bernard didn't need to slap to be funky.
"bass is so important in our groove"..pity jerry dosent groove
My man damaged that bass!!
Imho Mr.Barnes plays & slaps too much. This is not Bernard's vibe.
Worst bass solo ever
shiiiit
