Sharay Reed- "I Want You" by Marvin Gaye

[jamesBassMan81]

That's whats up old school bass players will teach you how to play and also practicing with old school R&B also will improve your style and even show how you would sound if you were playing bass back then with the style you have now Sharay is on of my favorite bass players.

[tautehuapai]

beautiful brutha soulful fluidity fills to the heart, what a craft, God bless you

[avxdot]

3:57 - 4:01 and at 4:11 - 4:15 love those licks!

[nemuelkess]

yes! I live of your style, am brazilian your fan

[axeboard]

A dying breed of musician,tone,taste,turnaround­s,some of the best playing i've heard over one of my favorite songs James and Marvin would be proud,thanks,oh the dislike was more than likely an accident.

[charmander42]

Could you do a jamerson tribute anyway? Cause that would totally appreciated.

[Cookboy100]

tabs please

[mistamuzik]

DOC YES SUH!!!!!!!!!!

[kirlondrumz]

why u stop? you looked like u wanted to play more lol :) but nice, very smooth playing I must say. I think that 1 person that disliked this hit that by mistake. there is nothing to dislike about this right here! Great Job!!! :)

[joeyda25]

[holygosthunter]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[sammeiii]

great bass playin' as always.. Sharay you're one of the best... 

[Johnathan46312]

Yessir!!!! Marvin is where its been!!!!! Thank You soo much for showin us young cats the way!!!!

[tacoque]

Bless you brother. Your playing and sound is so warm. I haven't gone very deep into Marvin Gaye's library of music, but out of all of his songs that I have heard, I think this one has the best background vocals.  Marvin did his thing on the background vocals on this track.

[muskitown7]

This is one of the smoothest cats on a bass! Mr Sharay Reed!

[robg317]

Pocket pocket POCKET!!

Thank... YOU... SHARAY.

[tada02]

@robg317 Yes deep pockets indeed!

[thewurlpremier]

4:09 ta 4:15 was jezzz STUPID!!!!!!.......Us meer mortal youtube Bass players r not worthy..lol!!!!!

[codylittle7]

...........feel is awesome

[jamersonshook]

Marvin would have hired you in a heartbeat. Thanks for the wonderful version - you have magic hands.

[jvick63]

this is very key to staying on the foundation of the song and being the bass(base) player

[naturefreedom]

Not gonna even lie, this almost brought tears to my eyes...Loving this man

[grownnbass]

@naturefreedom Me 2 fam!

[ikeweezy]

Throw Bob Babbit in that tribute! lol He's been credited with cutting this record! Anyways...Its been reborn by the great Sharay! Question: If you could customize your own signature Fender, what would you give it for your own personal touch? I've never saw you play anything but Fender!

[Bubinga5]

Sharay those are just beautiful fills your playing...cant think of another player that sends me away like Sharay!!!!!in the UK we love Sharays playing..

[youpickone460]

Incredible

[guy0839]

very disapline! Young musicians pls take notice... sharay keepem coming....I have my whole church babd checking you out to learn...

God bless you....

[yaboyreece22]

He is a joy to listen to as well as watch. I keep coming back.

[yaboyreece22]

Sweeeeeeeeet, sweeeeeeeeeeet, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, syruppy sweet groove. The fills are fantastic. The timing is excellent. And the key is you can tell he's enjoying himself while he's playing. This is what musicianship should look like!!! Don't stop, man, don't you dare stop!

[hahabass]

Some sick fills. And he knows exactly where to put them.

[Wefunkyou]

You mentioned the various best players on that record.

I really assume this is Wilton Felder's unique syncopation on this track.

So laid-back, very few notes but so groovy.

[DaBassPlaya88]

If YouTube has a limit on how many times you can listen to a song, I've reached it. You know you da man.

[Yermande]

yassarr!!!!

[cornflakesnwater]

thats tight

[Quezo7129]

Man you are a true freaking beast! Geez....

[nuancemusic]

@4:12 - 4:16 made my neck hurt from nodding in agreement. Jessssus!!

[bassramos]

Theres a great version of Deon Estus playing this if you just type in I want you Marvin Gaye and click the one with the picture of the guy with braids (Deon Estus)

[QuinKing09]

Im sorry about my last comment on the original bass player. The original bass player name was Deon Estus. Gordon Banks was the lead guitar player on this song. I stand corrected, no disprespect attended! I still love this song though!!!

[QuinKing09]

The original bass player of this song is Gordon Banks! Great job Sharay you're the best man!

[Wefunkyou]

@QuinKing09 Gordon Banks is a guitar player , not the bassist. Plus, he doesn't play on the track, it's Ray Parker Jr.

For the bass, I assume this is the WIlton Felder's syncopated approach.

[T6451]

Can't stop listening to it!!!!!

[louisianarookie]

very tight!

[Arbed225]

Love your groove Sharay. I still look @ the dvd when you were with CeCe Winans. That's the kind of bass playin' I love !!

[lakland76]

Listen to the chops at 4.12 secs. What the? oh my god!!!!

[Wefunkyou]

The more I listen to this fantastic track, the more I think this is the Wilton Felder groove and sound.

[whykatera81]

3:57 !!!

[dwalmz]

Geez, that run at 3:57 is just plain nasty!

[dwalmz]

Oh my!!

[overtime2005]

let me be the first to say "my bad" :)

i listened again and found my ears was playing tricks on me lol. 10/10 its all good boss. Tiny from the platinum band and jayjay from the chicago mass choir need to check out your clips. God bless.

[overtime2005]

I listened to this video three times and the first and time ofcourse i covered my mouth and made faces but, the third time i had my game face on. In my book you are in the top 10 of the worlds bassist. on a positive note, I feel that youve lacked a bit of your spiritual fills during midsong on this on this one.Sense your blessed enough to play the bass the way its made to be played, i trust you'll understand when you listen to this clip again.Keep up the great god. peace out. .^)

[superjaay]

Fire.......Keep it coming. Sharay has a huge influence on my bass playing. Keep the videos coming.

God Bless

[supermack68]

Use a genius man! Pure genius!!!!!!!!!!!

[tapercode]

Damn !!!!!!

[QuinKing09]

What a very unique song to play behind! Marvin Gaye, the best!! You also have a very unusual style of playing. Love it!!!

[toofpick151]

I dont know if your sound is more signature than your subdivision head nod lol. Great playing man as always!

[podena03]

[dshargrett]

Very dope sir.

[jnixon88]

keep them coming sharay!!YES!!

[sospwa]

damn, thats wat u call playing bass !!!!!!!!!!!

[henilk2007]

The groove is what's up!!

You captured the essence of Jamersons style and I think if he were alive today, he would be honored. You also kind of remind me of Anthony Jackson with the low end rumble. Very cool!!

[jeremyrbass]

Doc you are KILLING! This groove is beasting!!!

You got me feeling like the lady in the bible that said "if I could just touch the hem of his garment", but I'm saying "if I can only touch his gig bag"

[llutakeover]

[MusicGenie5]

Oh Yes!!!
