Bass line Brothers Johnson: Celebration

[tinussie1]

Kijk,het betere werk.

[TheEdRock77]

are you a lost brother of the johnsons? AMAZING

[rehovhamasger]

here's a challenge - "Don't touch it" by Maxx Traxx :-) - btw - this one is awsome

[Leetav]

the chord sequence at 2:32 for a few bars or so is my fav bit of the song and your tone for the track is just 100% perfect, (well, they all are tbh!) funkstar650 man: Bass Hero :)

[csaszimusic]

You're so great man!!! It's one of my favourite songs!

[tomyjames3]

Looks as if I found a teacher, I've been playing bass since 74 and I am somewhat successful on a local scale. would you mind helping me on the effects you are using?

[slapmanba]

Hey man, this is a fuckin' groove!!!

Peace. =)

[]´s

[bRaKK0]

1. I love you sabre

2. I love that song, the best after Stomp!

3. Very nice execution of the song!!

[WinsomeJohnny]

Lovin it..Impressive as always my friend. *LOL* I love the cameo appearance in the background.

[marcelodobaixo]

muito bom

[hoobert]

This is ace!! I'm totally digging your feel and tone. Makes me want a Sabre too (or at least a pre-EB Stingray)!

[bangurl86]

Cool job, not allot of people know the ending bass solo I was watching to see if you did but your still great, thanks!

[elchingasteatumadre]

Where to find the track you played?

Nice recording and good Cover. I really liked.

[dhakaboy1]

Man ....that just blows me away !!!! Wicked Wicked bass licks my man ! We used to groove to tis tune in London....on the dance floors. Thanks for posting ! You FUNK !

[rar6178]

u d man

[Kudgebass]

The best way to getting my morning started besides Thanking the good Lord is mixing it up with some Funk on the Bass, and you my friend got it jump'n off. Nice job Funk Brother. Oh and by the way having one of my all time favorites Louis Johnson in your house, I am an instant Fan.

[iop223]

one of my favs

[grifofunk]

Thank you for sharing such nice bass playing!!!

[yayareathizz]

Man that is amazing! I had to see this vid about 3 times before i could even comment on it! lol I really want to learn how to play the bass just like Louis!

I have seen The Brothers Johnson 2 times and it was the best time i ever had! I wish i could see them again or at least see Louis play! Well once again... you are amazing and I wish i could sound just as good!

[unnownsoldir1]

I second,third, fourth and fifth that! dude u sound just like "thunder thumbs" in this one. well done. and the sound was perfect!

[TheFunkyTrap]

this cover is fantstic

[csaszimusic]

[jfunk513]

Very awesome thank you for the post.

[FunkInDaPocket47]

Admire your work and talent....as always you've captured the funk from the past and made it live all over again! Sir, I take my hat of to you! Peace.

[misterairport123]

looks like fun k

[alfabasslap]

Bueno, muy bueno.

[izKake]

Man this has literally inspired me to pick up a bass. I love how you mixed in slap and popping in there without disrupting the rest. It's Great.

[dirkdeluxe]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[Pedro1985]

This is amazing. Now I'm dancing in my house :)

[leseb2009]

Amazing we can see your happyness when you play on, you got a great talent! please give us more ;o)

[funkstar650]

Doing my best and thank you for watching and commenting!

Peace

[zomhby]

cool

[funkstar650]

Thanx :-)

Peace

[gregshot]

great playing man!!! i know your always up for requests and challenges. So could you maybe try, Let's do it again by the big man wayman tisdale??

[funkstar650]

True I am up for challenges.The late and great Wayman Tisdale has great songs but he usually plays these high notes on his 5 and 6 string basses. I mainly stick to bass lines instead of the high pitch solo's and melodies.

Peace

[HWolfeIII]

Great work Funkstar! I had a Musicman Stingray but had to sell it. (snif) Now I'm using a G & L

[funkstar650]

G&L basses are fine basses as well. Nevertheless, the distinctive MM sound can only be created by a MusicMan. Keep on funkin'!

Peace

[ronpolkthedirector]

It's like an explosion of soul at 1:18. Lets call it "Soulsplosion" New word LOL! Good job I think I'll be able to pick this up after watching you!

[funkstar650]

LOL great comment! Thanx for watching and commenting!

Unbelievable how well u play the song, Louis Johnson bass playing is not for kiddies

[funkstar650]

Thank you so much. Just doing my thang here and trying to get as close as possible to Louis his sound. But noone has his hands, heart and soul. I am just doing my best.

Peace

[Ediva75]

You play great and it's a kick ass song. I have that CD and play it in my car!! Hope you have now fixed the wallpaper! LMAO

[funkstar650]

LOL well I am planning to get it fixed yeah. Somewhere later this year. Will look better on the vids dont you think?

Peace and thanx for commenting!

[catenaccio111]

[Chalenger303]

As usual you kick ass on the bass, I loved that one. I can tell by the way you play, that you honestly love your craft. I miss the all the other play alongs, especially the Don Blackman sets. Everytime I see one of your play alongs, I have to get out my ax and start jammin'. Thanx 4 the inspiration. Keep THUMPIN'.

[funkstar650]

Thank you my man. If you wanna see my older stuff check out youplayalong d o t c o m

[funkstar650]

Thank you and good luck practicing!

Peace

[SlikkTim]

Magic ! Didn't know that one. Cool you can at least post some new shit.

[funkstar650]

Thanx my Bass plucking bro! Well you never know how long it takes before vids are being blocked so... let's just see.

Peace man and keep on doing what you do.

[dayesonny]

Man, where do I start?! I'll just say that back in 1980 I was 16 in highschool band &working my 1st job at a cafeteria and my dad helped me get a Fender Musicmaster Bass, I always found basslines attractive, and Jazz, Precision, and StingRay was king in that Funk/Disco/R&B/Dance age. I used to hear a nice bassline on the schoolbus radio, buy the 45 record, and play it over and over til I got it right. Your playalong selection is 2nd to none! Thanks for keeping me young w/the old school!

[funkstar650]

Hey man, I hear ya. These tunes bring back some good memories huh? That's why I love to play these tunes.

Thanx for watching, commenting and for the support.

Peace

[aznhardboiledegg]

loving every second of this

keep on jamming!

love your stingray tone

[funkstar650]

Thank you so much for your comment! Appreciate it!

Peace

[Slappington]

Great as usual man! Have you ever played Marcus Miller's tune "La Villette" off of his Silver Rain album? I don't ever see anyone on YT playing that one. I love that tune. Give it a shot.

Peace.

[funkstar650]

Hey there, I have seen one amateur version on YouTube. Not bad at all. And yes I agree, it's a great tune. Takes a lot of study though ;-). I will see what I can do OK?

Peace and thanx for asking.

[Musique84]

Buddy, i love this song and you played it without any mistake,

as usual you are awesome,

so keep on funkin, forever

peace out

[funkstar650]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Let's keep in touch OK?

Peace

[moxamoxa]

Funkstar, i love your playing and your enthusiasm it's so infectious! When i feel a little tired and not into practising on my bass, i click on over to this youtube space, 'draw' on your energy, and voilà, i am in play-bass mode! Thank you mate.

[funkstar650]

You are more than welcome! Glad to hear my clips inspire you to keep on playing. Keep it up OK?

[DeeJayRoyalT]

Say brother, it's GREAT to see you back slappin' dat bass! Is it reasonable to say that Lous Johnson has had at least a "little" impact on ya? ..lol. It's fun watching you play and having such a good time, man. Talk to ya later...

dj royal t

[funkstar650]

A little? LOL, he is been one of my favs of all time. But since he approves the play alongs I got the green light from the Master himself... Can't get any better than that I guess.
