Subscribing. Excellent review of this bass line. Love the stingray special too

The rhythmic articulation between 1st and 2nd bars is definitely making a huge difference.

I'd say that ii to V(7) calls for Dorian, in that case Em being the 2nd degree of DMaj tonality and A7 the 5th degree. ii V I is a classic jazz chord progression.

[@BassFreedom]

When the progression is going from Em to A, this can literally be explained as D Major as a ii to V...for sure! But I think this confuses many who haven't studied modes. Therefore it's completely ok to think of Em as your minor i chord/tonic instead of a ii. I could have listed this on the "Why Dorian" part of the video, but chose not to for the sake of not intimidating aspiring bassists more than they already may be 😅Cheers!!

This is for sure one of the greatest basslines of all time.

Perfect analysis of a great and funky song, Andrew! 👍🎸 I've gotta' give "Good Times" another try. The hard part is moving around and maintain the staccato, specially around those fast 16th notes 🤘😅 /D

Thanks so much, man! It's a good one.
