    Very very nice. I am the younger brother of Bernard and he would have been proud to hear you recreate his bass lines. Thank you for the tribute

      hi Mr. Edwards ,your brother was /is a BEAST of a bass player! wow ....as a bass player for a few decades now and a musician out of the womb , Im almost embarrassed to say it but , I am just finding out about him (the man Bernard Edwards) recently, or i should say, im paying more attention to the" who is who " now.. i sometimes play a 70's disco gig and have played a few of the hits . i just never payed much attention to the bassists that were playing these amazing grooves...
      his playing has truly inspired me to dig in and get playing again . 🙏

    Edwards is on my top list for sure. How he can somehow fit all those notes in busy melodic lines and still have groove and space... With perfect timing. So good.

  • @fantasyguru26
    @fantasyguru26 9 місяців тому +11

    They're all amazing. Bernard was king of the slick basslines. The Good Times bassline was the blueprint for both Rappers Delight and Another One Bites the Dust. Still Thinking of You and Le Freak are my two favorites.

  • @kevteop

    That take of Everybody Dance is enough - you're clearly a huge Bernard fan to pull that off, it's such an unusual technique and you've taken the time to learn it. Huge respect. 🙌

  • @darrenkeddle1866

  • @ear4funk814

    Great list. Here's some other killer base lines from Bernard Edwards in my opinion: solo on Diana Ross's "Upside Down", Sister Sledge's "I Got to Love Somebody Today", and of course Bernard's solo on Chic's "Rebels are We". I wish I could play like you to jump into these as well.

  • @ootrip40
    @ootrip40 13 днів тому

    Bernard was actually the very reason I started playing the bass In 1976 or so. I heard chic so many times I know every small detail of his basswork. I was blessed with very good hearing, and I have never heard anyone who had all the little details in rythym and notes down to "micro-level". But you. my friend, you do. Exellent! Especially the chucking is impressive.
    Fun fact is that I sent a letter to the CHIC organization asking Bernard what his gear was, I had an F-bass and didn't get that sound. I don't think he got it though. I never got a reply. But years later I discovered he played a stingray and I thought "why didn't I know this sooner". It was a sound I loved and still do. BUT..wait for it... Then I heard from other reliable sources he didn't used a Stingray on the first hits like everybody dance, and Dance, dance, dance. Possible I think on the two first albums or at least the first, he used a BC Rich Eagle.
    But this video....Kudos my friend!

    That's awesome. I've been working on Good Times for a week or so, I'm coming back to the bass after 20 years of not playing and learning to play finger style for the first time, so it's not easy. I really appreciate your camera work, showing really clear shots of either hand and the technique you're using for each part. Thanks! ❤
