Keep practicing... This song is by Wild Cherry and is called "Play That Funky Music." It would do you a lot of good to learn the chord progression to the song, and also which instruments actually play which parts. Good Luck :)
@GarethToye1 You best be trollin. Thats what I said. He said there was slapping. I said the 'song should' be slapped. Speaking about the song itself, not this boy's playing. He's playing the song just fine as it was in the recording. with fingers
Pretty Good man. Though there is some timing issues and technique is a bit sloppy on the fretbord. Keep playing and you will get it right soon.. Nice stuff man..!!! =)
It's refreshing to see someone who isn't, like 99% of the other musicians on YouTube, playing along with a CD/MP3 at the same volume as the song and you can't tell whether you're hearing the musician, or the original part in the song. At least here we know who is playing what.
i don't care that you give one star. you're just not right. those notes are not hammer-ons. that's the lazy man's way. if your fingers aren't fast enough...
Man... Good work.... we all had to start some where. If you need any help hit me up. Mike Cross playing bass is just one of the things I do. A good tip is use your pinky finger... it will bring your playing up very fast.... trust me.
Needs work. You should learn the song for real otherwise you will get into a habit of doing it "your way"
