This channel is the best thing that happened to me this month. Helps a lot to improve your skills on the bass. Specially for intermediate bass players. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much - really happy you’re benefiting from it. Keep it up! 🙏👍👊
Great work Dan, I grew up in the Philadelphia area and this groove is typical of the "Philly Sound", Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The O'Jays, and many other bands used grooves like this.
What an incredible contribution your area made to music!
Hey Dan. Thanks for the lesson.
I’m really coming along as 1. I was able to figure the notes by listening to you. 2. Be able to read the chords on the music sheet and play the 1,3,5,7 in different positions. 4. Most importantly realise I’m further along than I expected as you stated this isn’t a easy song but I found it rather comfortable.
I will say I got confused figuring out what key it was in as I’m had the assumption that the one is mostly the root note. Probably due to me always doing this while I doodle.
Thanks again. You have helped my understanding of bass and theory Tremendously
Thank you I love how you teach I will be following you thank you again😊
Thank you very much!
Great job my brother, so glad you choose to do this song. I've been working on this bass line your lesson on this bass line has been very helpful. 👍🏽
Happy to help!
Groovin’ Dan...just groovin’
Top notch lesson Dan. Thank you.
Suggestion for a bass line that you could teach...
One that you composed!!!
Thanks again Dan keep groovin’
Will do! 🙏
Fantastic video - will check out your other videos. Thank you very much for the time and effort put into this tutorial!
Thanks very much. 🙏
Thanks for explaining some of the theory behind the bass line. So often I learn a bass line but don't understand any theory behind it. This is very helpful.
Always loved this groove when it came out,I brought the album,and gave it to my wife when we got serious about each other when we were dating.She Loved it.
Super groove, trop cool que du plaisir
Love it Dan. Never really thought about this line before, no idea why, it's buttery smooth and one of those grooves that work without the rest of the band, I think cos of the subtle dead notes laying down the beat that bring it to life. Something I'm slowly coming to recognise as the most important part of a groove; it's the spaces where you don't play notes that makes it come alive...
Your explanation of the Fm relationship to the Ab major in different positions on the neck after showing the structure of the riff is very helpful. Good teaching. Cheers.
Thank you.
I love your groove it
Thank you, Manara. 🙏
Thank you very much Dan for fulfilling my request. Now I finally got this groove working.
Thanks for another ten minutes of your brilliant company Dan
As far as your plucking hand goes, you're on your own.
In what way?
Hi Dan
I've been playing guitar 30+ years and took up bass about 3 months ago. It seems to me that fingerstyle bass players have multiple plucking options strictly alternate up or down or alternate up and across the strings combined with raking on the way down. For plucking exercises you can choose a method and stick with it but when it comes to playing an actual tune it gets harder. Should you start a repeated phrase with same finger each time it comes around? It can feel a bit off to me starting a phrase with alternate fingers each time.
I'm going to guess your subscribers mess up more with the plucking hand than the fretting hand. Needs a lesson!
Love your teaching style. You do the calm, personal one on one tutor video better than anyone else I've watched. @@OnlineBassCourses
@@ChorltonM21 Thanks for your kind words! You put it very well - there are a multitude of different ways to pluck and there is no wrong or right. I'd explore different options and go with what feels natural to you. That might change depending on what you're playing but don't feel locked into the 'correct' way of doing it. There isn't one.
Sounds so good on the Stingray!
This is one of my favorite songs from my teen years. BTW...I'm loving the "Stax" shirt. I grew up near Memphis, TN. My cousin was the road manager for the Bar-Kay's for a time.
Wow that’s cool!
Great lesson and explanation. And that tone is very nice indeed!
Beautiful, short little lesson of a sweet groove.
Great groove and great delivery. Thanks Dan!
Great video Dan as always! I've learnt alot from your videos thanks. I think the key maybe F Phyrigian ? that would fit nicely with the 3rd of the Phyrigian being a Mixolydian? I maybe wrong thats the thing with music there are no set rules.
Thanks! It would be F Aeolian or F Natural Minor.
Great song and such a grooving bass line. Love the bass tone Dan.
Thanks, Frank. 🙏👍
Great video, Dan! More stuff like this would be cool, breakdowns of classic and lesser known basslines. Especially funk stuff.
Thanks. I used to do more but I think I’ll start again…
thanks for the great lesson mate
Well done Dan - smashed it once again mate, and as my old keyboard player used to say "A FLAT!!!" Can't we play it in A or G, otherwise I'll have to use the black notes - LOL
A flat is a black key…
@@xDamageProducer Think you missed the joke buddy :)
😂
Hi Dan, I love learning funk lines like this. I've been working on Bernard Edward's lines lately because they are brilliant and so precise. Anyway, i have a suggestion for you to breakdown: "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston played by the underrated Henry Davis. Just a killer song from that era and genre
Great song!
Saw a band playing this where the bass player played the first E as an E flat and it drove me nuts.
I’ve been guilty a few times!
Do you have your own work that you can showcase, I mean something composed by yourself? I really enjoy when you play a bit longer, your style is great.
Thanks, Aleksandar. Well, I guess most of the lesson stuff is my own but the problem with ANY played recorded music is running into copyright issues. I’d love to show stuff I’ve played on and break it down - maybe I’ll look into it…
@@OnlineBassCourses Yeah, it sucks. But isn't it fair use? I know some people change the pitch a bit etc. That was just a suggestion, your material is great as it is!
@@AlexandarShmex I would say it’s fair use but they’d disagree! It’s ridiculous.
Ain't no stopping us now ( Mc Faddin & Whitehead).
Hi! Could you do a lesson about The Jacksons - This Place Hotel?
Thank you 🙏
Might be a bit niche but I’ll give it a listen!
@@OnlineBassCourses thank you
I THINK I GOT IT DAN
Dan I have a question.
The song is in f natural minor. If F is natural minor then A flat would be “major A flat” as b flat and c are minors. Is it normal for a artist to change the 7th to a flat 7th even if it’s in a major. Also would this be highlighted on the sheet music? The intro section is mixolydian which is always before the natural minor.
The modes I learnt here have a pattern which doesn’t change no matter what mode you start on. this confused me alittle.
There is an order to modes but no rule that anyone has to follow it. You can change keys, mix modes, borrow chords, or just go where your ear takes you.
So often, music will not follow the ‘rules’. The relative major of F Natural Minor is Ab Major. The intro bit uses a chord not from the key.
Think of modes and music theory in general as frameworks. Not rules to follow.
@@OnlineBassCourses thanks for the clear up Dan. Enjoy the weekend
Barney Miller theme song is still the best bass line ever, imho.
Brillant Dan! what strings do you use in this video? Sounds great. Thankyou
Thanks! Probably Elites Players 45-105
IMHO, this is just a copy of the fantastic "Ma Quale Idea" by Pino d'Angio
No, this song was first, it was released a year before. Great bassline!
@@Egap1 Really? are you sure? I know the Pino d'Angio bass line has been copied som many times.
@@ErixSamson "Ain't no stoppin' us now" was released in 1979., "Ma Quale Idea" in 1981.
