Thumping and plucking was born with this tune.
Thank you Larry and Stuart.

[@MrNathan791]

Larry Graham. The originator of the thumping/pluck. Thanks for your tutorial. Although I always thought this was a simple groove. The bass gave that whole song a steady beat. One of my favorite Sly/Family songs.

I like what you said at the end of the video. Paraphrasing don’t overdo it, keep it simple.

[@ReverendHellbilly]

take care, stay safe , God Bless.

[@kyky868]

the fact that I’m literally 16 and I want to buy a bass because of this song and many other 70s songs

[@xavsmash]

This is perfect, I than you.... :-) I had a doubt about the slide ( or hammer on 2 slaps - 1 hammer on D E and then slap the E string)..It works, but the slide

[@MyCovertNarcissism]

Cool beans 🙂 Thank you!

[@MyDreamside]

any good settings, for the funky sound? bass,tremble ,drive settings?

[@StuartClayton]

Tone is in the hands! With a jazz bass, have both pickups on, tone control all the way up. No drive.

[@mikegreenebass]

Thank you, no pun intended :)
