How To Play Bass Guitar To I Want You Back - Jackson 5 - Welton Felder - (Part 1)

[DrtyWrm]

Great lesson, I am writing down the notes/tabs so I can learn this. But I was wondering is he mistakingly calling the D string the G string during the chorus part?

[DrtyWrm]

@DrtyWrm okay I was pausing the video as I was learning each part, he corrected himself later in the video.

@DrtyWrm Yeah...sometimes I get my strings muddled up!!!

[EtherialMoiety]

Paul, this is great. Thank you. Please talk as much as you want.

[howtoplaybassdotcom]

@EtherialMoiety Ha ha - don't worry - I can only teach the way i teach. That involves a bit of talking!

[shooz4unme]

How about giving a lesson on timing? Demonstrate n explain the difference between playing spot on with the beat, slightly ahead n slightly behind.

[AmandaRootBeEr]

ur good nd thtnx but u kinda tlk alot

[howtoplaybassdotcom]

@AmandaRootBeEr Always. That's the way I roll....

[twowheelzforme]

Pretty sure this is Wilton Felder not Jamerson, in the opening riff is using open strings as well.

[howtoplaybassdotcom]

@twowheelzforme Definitely Felder playing on this track. I think Bass Player Magazine did a feature on it in the late 90s....

@howtoplaybassdotcom

Check this fingering.

[Splodgo]

Great work! ... I prefer the earlier David Ruffin version on which, I believe, James Jamerson played the bassline.

[howtoplaybassdotcom]

@Splodgo Thanks - yep, I'm pretty sure Jamerson played on the David Ruffin version.

I'm sure you've heard it, but check out David Ruffin's version of 'My Whole World Ended' - now, THAT'S a bassline :)

[Splodgo]

@howtoplaybassdotcom ooo yeah .. that's an awesome bassline!! :-D

[FluffyWagglekins]

It's simpler and more efficient to play the whole thing in the first position, isn't it?
