This woman has all my admiration, I knew that while learning to play at this level, she also found the time to graduate brilliantly in medicine. Hats off to her !
Next to the fact that you’re an amazingly talented bass-player, what I love most about your video’s, is to see how much fun you have playing and how you really feel the music. 👏🏼
I was playing that tune in '77. Nice to see TOP appreciation! Good job! Opened for them in '77 at Lamar University in Texas.Rocco came over after the gig and drank some black jack with us. Was crapping my pants knowing I was sitting there having a drink with the "Man."
excellent effort. i remember when this song was new...yes i'm that old..and i was a young bass player. to this day i say this was the hardest song for me to learn to play. that staccato style would make my forearm cramp up. so bravo to you.
This type of part only works if it is super, super-tight, and this is how it should be done. It has to pop and, despite the hard-core right hand workout, you can't ever push it or fall behind or it loses the funk. She keep it right on the money and it feels great.
bang on, that's what makes this song so hard for the bass player. It's a work out to keep timing and that tight note progression. I still haven't mastered this song.
@@nickharris9761 A world class guitar player whose never played bass before wouldn't be able to play with this amount of feel, getting the nuances of left hand muting in this song aswell as the difficult string crossing in the right hand. After a few weeks they might be able to technically play it, but it would sound crap, like a guitarist trying to play bass.
Girl, you are KILLLING ME!!!!! i LOVE this song and you do not miss a note!!!! Fantastic!!!! Thank you for putting this out there. I have been trying for MONTHS to get this piece down and you have GOT IT. Great Style also. Fantastic Thanks!!!!!!!!
Alessandra, you are soo articulate in the way you play. Absolutely fabulous, I've heard quite a number of other reditions, but I just have to come back to you and enjoy and enoy and . . . enjoy. You're absolutely fantastic!
I was very impressed until I saw posts by other musicians playing this same song, and then my appreciation of your skill grew exponentially. Brilliantly done, I never tire of watching this video. This is a tough song and you are spot-on with your timing!
I have been playing in horn bands for 40 years so I know my music. All I have to say is WOW!!!!!. I LOVE your style. you play a lot like me and I have played all over the world with the best musicians. Keep up the good work
Never heard the song before but that was Exellent great timing and your enjoying yourself well impressed from someone whose been playing bass for 40years

I can't understand why viewers would give this beautiful lady a thumbs down? Her hard work shows. 5 stars hands down!!!
I love her face when she plays. She got the funk in her blood.

Seriously difficult to get right. This is perfect. 🎶🎶🎶
This gorgeous bass playing girl playing my absolute favorite band. Wow!
One of the greatest bands with probably greatest horn sections ever
Amazing job! Whenever i start to feel a little detached from funk, i always come back to this song.
excellent effort. i remember when this song was new...yes i'm that old..and i was a young bass player. to this day i say this was the hardest song for me to learn to play. that staccato style would make my forearm cramp up. so bravo to you.

and TOP is really tight to say the least
I'm crying it's so good 😭
Knowing the amount of time you have trained to reach your craft to be on this level. Great work
A good standard 6 string guitarist with sense of beat would get this after a few weeks of converting to the thick strings.
@@nickharris9761 With a pick maybe, but not the right hand finger part
though
