[taitapedro]

@KiddFreshakaAaron

I don't have any tabs sorry, I'm 25, I started at your age.. Best of luck!

[Jukkala]

@taitapedro : What tabs? Just look at his fingers. Keep working at it. The world needs more funk bass players :-D

[hectorjr2010]

U got dat bass lines down real good,this is my all time fav disco jam!!!

[1952to30]

I don't know 'bout the rest of youse guys, but I'm impressed!

[Funkyme4]

this music was far before you were born

and still your playing it great!!

[weichafe1492]

al principio un poco tenso,pero despues bakan, se la vacila todo el rato,me gusto como tocAS este tema.

[bsmooth512]

nice really nice and smooth feel all the lines keep up bro

[bronzeroad33]

Go head blue eye soul brother hit it

[The7legacy]

You are bad a man!!!

Major Respect.

[xylowave]

Nice groove, good job! I do have one minor criticism, though. Rhythmically and stylistically you are on the money, but the first 4 notes of the groove are E, G, A, and B, you are playing B-flat on the 4th note. This is not a huge deal, but the rest was so good I thought I should tell you.

[srn46]

bad ass bass cover.......i like!!!!!!!

[Bubblesatx]

slappa dah bass mon

[nefam987]

Great playing. I also play an Ibanez but its tone isnt this bright. Can i have specs.? Thx.

[gabbysuperstar]

white boy< you're funky !! i love it

[SuzSeptember]

awesome

[Perronnepe]

someday i will be able to play like that X D damn u are good :D the thing is that my influenses are british indie bands and i learned to play bass with a pick not fingers is that too bad??

[liftedpukaso]

coooooooooooool

[taximan55]

My Guess this is an Old Video? great playing Though For a white Boy! JK Have you got new camera Yet? do this again in HD No I'm not Black but love old Funk!

[afterburner14]

OK. I wanted to see how you would do in the breakdown part where the flute took a solo. When you came in on the funky part with the thumb i said," he got it."Good job.

[PhuckHue2]

you suck

[atfshow]

EXCELLENT FUNK !!

[atfshow]

excellent job and excellent FUNK !!

[vegasbaby92]

very nice on that bass!!!

[epicnessincarnate]

I like funk, but nobody in my family is really into it. what are some good songs for bass?

[roachjesse15]

Hey, keep doing the dang thang man...YOU ROCK!!!

[syndicate1]

i am amazed that any one being anglo american, would like soul music, much less post a video of them playing such... after all, black people & black culture are still belittled & berated, even as of this time.... i'm amazed that some young anglo male living in anywhere america, would like it so much.....

[namniekib]

@syndicate1,trying to label music by race is absurd.A great song will cross the "ethnic divide" and appeal to everyone,regardless of who made it.I am amazed that a black Haitian man I knew liked country music.Makes you wonder if we're stereotyping ourselves and calling it "culture".

[lammers962]

Again, nice bass playin, try to cover Con Funk Shun's "Fun,Fun,Fun"

[lammers962]

You Go, boy!, nice playin!

[LuvThatWhiteDot]

This is pretty damn good! :) Keep it up!!

[dougpaynedotcom]

Awesome work! Makes me hear one of the greatest songs of all time in a whole new way. Thanks and great job!

[ozmensan]

Really nice groove man, if you like old school funk, then check out 'Son of Slide' by Slave. I would love to see you take a stab at that one! great playing, keep it up.

[lycanthrope1962]

You be bad boy!!!

it's good to see young kids like this wiz keeping the faith regarding music from my time. Thump on kid!!!

[FatKidCookie]

im a guitar player but i sometimes think of switching to bass to play funky :D

[TimeForTimer]

funk out, kiddo !

[Captmorgann]

thats just funked up ! nice work man!

[Robertj64]

Great playing but there is one note off just before you start the run again. At :20, you are playing a slightly higher note than in the recording. Don't mean to nitpick but I know this bass run for so many years....good job and nice bass!

[aikoaiko1]

Ha ha, all the cougars. Count me in. I love this!

[csh042968]

i'm trippin' - in the 1rst grade, this older man would play the bass to 'jive talkin'/bee gees - then the dude came back the next year and played this on his bass - we thought he was the coolest...sounds good! thanks

[ricardo2239]

muy bueno me gustaria que me ensenara a tocar . ..... un saludo

You didn't miss a beat BRAVO !!!!!!!!

I have this video on my favorite, and go back to it, every other month or so...I'm a 50 y.o. woman, growing up with all that funk, and love listening to you..wow and watching you..I'm in love with your playing and your cute face. Don't be surprised a lot of coogers will arise from this.

[coachdcwoods]

[darksideofthemoon68]

[derotto7181]

excellent bass playing!!......you're an excellent player!!...keep up the good work!

[inmytimeofdieing2]

nvm

[inmytimeofdieing2]

what song is this?

[microtease]

funk has no color it is a feeling. PLAY THAT BASS BRO PLAY!!!!!

[mscaxe]

Wow, this sounds good. Your bass is FIRE! Do you take requests? :-)

[hislilmisses]

I'm a 40 yr. old woman who LOVES the bass and I am TRULY thinking about taking lessons. You think it's too late?

[Nazz20]

Never in too late, go ahead!!!

[taitapedro]

not at all.

[Michlimania]

Hell no. I know a lady who didn't start piano lessons until she was 60...she's now nearly 70 and sounds like she played her whole life. And...piano is tougher than bass.

[SirJohnathan]

I would respectfully disagree. Piano is the most intuitive instrument on earth; it's easy to understand. The bass takes far more effort to really learn. Piano players tend to have more expected from them, so they tend to work at the technical skill more, but since the bass is so often shoved to the rear, most bass riffs tend to be simple.

Take a look at Jeff Schmidt (especially Fury) or Victor Wooten. They really make the most of the bass, and can match any piano player in technical complexity.

[SirJohnathan]

Addendum: It's really hard to find Wooten's best stuff on Youtube; there are a lot of terrible hand-cam recordings that fail to capture the subtleties of his skill. So... yeah.

But search Jeff Schmidt; you'll see what I mean.

[radcam69]

@hislilmisses  do it!!!

[pastunseen18]

@hislilmisses dude.... its never too late to learn how to play bass

[caputize]

@hislilmisses first off... congrats to the white kid that likes GOOD black music and not that bullshit rap.

[huraboma]

@hislilmisses Just go for it! It's never too late. Set some realistic goals and just do it. It'd be lame to say you never tried. Life's too short! music rules! bass rules! even you rule!

[annetteromer]

@hislilmisses No not at all, as long as we r living then it's not 2 late!!!

[nekidbob]

@hislilmisses Not at all man . I 'm 51 and just starting, have fun I know I will.

[Samars7]

hooooottttt, my fingers freeze when i get nervous, excited :)

[man00]

Jaime Sanchez ?

[soulfuliciousmusic]

Love your bass playing. I thing it is excellent. You have got alot of soul, and I would love to have a bass player like you in my band. I would really love to see you do the bass part to GQ's - "DISCO NIGHTS". Thanks!

[farahonx]

[BLKFOX2000]

Look at you ... go on with your bad self ... you know what's up (although you surely weren't born when this song came out in 1976). Nevertheless, you got it boo. Cool as fuck. Great job. Next time, keep the camera on your sexy butt. Another funk classic with a funky bass line is song called Glide by Pleasure. Would love to see you thump on that.

[rayjr62]

[zildjian5o5]

This is eye watering to see this kid master this song from 1976. Well done!!!

Check him out, he feels the music. Good Job!!!

[TXW6424]

I'm happy to see there are still some REAL musicians out there. These days you can't tell with everyone relying on computers to make their music. My hat's off to you, keep playing you did a good job on a song from the 70's when music was real.

[mdiscreetfun4you]

Homeboy is jamming on this song -- who is this guy -- Kudos to him..this is a great song :)

[bassguitarhero2008]

[leosal7]

That's Bad-Ass, Bro!! Thanx!:-}

[Makraska]

Not only is the kid a decent bassist, but it's heartening to see ANY kid discover the good music and ignore the garbage corporations sell them these days.

[IsaAmonRa]

Oh, he's playin' it! Not bad! Funky white boy! =)

[babaloula]

Just an observation - don't see you playing the bass triplet around 0.21 and 1.09. Are you really playing this?

[Wayne3869]

Dunno what you're seeing but he looks to be playing at those spots to me.

[babaloula]

All you 'samplers' out there - watch and learn!!

[z150a]

chido

[AZUMA09]

GREAT !!!

[jess4metoo]

Outstanding young man!

[dxddavis]

Too Funky!!!!

[babysinister]

Sign him up...he's hired! lol...Great job, son.

[sicktube66666]

Awesome bass playing dude! I bought this album back in the 70's when it very first came out, I was only in the 2nd grade then!

[headnoding]

Cool as : )

[cleyvosier]

Damn that whiteboy jamming.....funky ....play that funky music whiteboy

[dre2158]

very very nice. the guy in the band that plays the bass is Ray Ransom. he is a very good friend of mines from Atlanta. I will tell him to look at it and give you feed back. take care.

[ClaypoolGuy]

nice man you really nailed that one

[Hero00]

great , great , playing ...sound very good

[funkybrezhoneg]

excellent!

[sirimar53]

like it man, good sound!

[oOoclutchoOo]

Whats The Song Called?

[taitapedro]

Dazz by brick

[UniLuv2008]

Who says white boys can't get funky? Go 'head now! Shit sounds good to me, a true 70's funk music junkie!

[Pleasantlyplumpmasta]

one..how old are you dude?

and two...i am utterly impressed. fantastic job man

[KingOfPain35]

Funky man.

[skellefteaAB]

Hello player (and KarenM526)check out "Rhythm Makers -Zone", a funk track from the 70's with a great base line. Check out also "Massive Attack- Teardrop -live"

[DeeJayMonty]

Dog... Dog... plain & simple, YOU ROCKED IT, im a drummer and love all music and this has been one of my fav's, i've been blessed to decipher most or all the instruments in all songs and i've always loved this bass line... dude, U nailed it.

[eboy61]

That was smoking, kid. I'm an old white guy who was a teen in Texas in the 70's and fell in love with funk, and man, that was a funky line you laid down. It's clear in the video that you've got the talent, the funky soul, and that bass-player-cool to keep on taking it to the next level. Awesome.

[KarenM526]

Forgot to add this - if you like this, you might also check out "The Groove Line" by Heatwave, and "Pick up the Pieces" by Average White Band. Great funk!

[KarenM526]

Good job, buddy. LOVE this song - heard it again after many years, on Sirius 70's.

[Jerseyeaglegirl]

WOW! That was sooo good. I enjoyed that very much and you were a pleasure to watch! :)

[mglazarus]

OMG, fantastic!!! As a latina growing up in Honduras with all the funk, and jazz of the Earl Klughs, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, et al,, I can appreciate the soft touch on the bass. Keep it up cutie

[skellefteaAB]

Hello there bass player.

This track used to be one of my favourites as I bought al the jazz funk imports I could afford in the mid 1970's - Your playing is great. So nice to hear this track again after so long. Have you tried looking up "The Rhythm Makers - Zone" on youtube ?
