Pow Larry Graham by me

[neurontechno]

almost perfect :)

[ahaaaaaaaaah]

I'm sorry, but this is a lot of wrong notes Larry didn't play!

Listen better to the original and you know what I mean...

[film8ker]

Absolutely superb! I've never been able to figure that jam out on my bass.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

[TheRussianJazz]

Very Very Good!!!!!!!!!!

[eddiespencer1]

FUNKIN' STANKY!!! But oh so sweet. Good job.

[PhuckHue2]

the first D to E is fretted, the second one Larry plays open D string to E. you can play and got the pocket though

[vikt902]

could you repost with a link to the tabs, i think so many wou;d love to play this

[jecks4]

Complimenti!!

[ShowtimeJohnnyPal]

Grazie, ho goduto della lezione molto. Larry Graham è più funky dei chittlins che si siedono sulla stufa per tre settimane.

[Translated: Thank you, I enjoyed the lesson very much. Larry Graham is more funky than chittlins sitting on the stove for three weeks. ] Showtime Johnny Pal

[cjcthatsme]

that was seriously wonderful. Are you playing/recording with anyone these days?

[RAPCAT60]

This a cool song. You make it easy to learn the bass line with the steps.

[spaske777]

[aikenaia]

[henkupenk]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[ChildOfFury]

[casper564]

[ChildOfFury]

[ChildOfFury]

[funkystanki]

[emceeslo]

[funkystanki]

I don't have a tab

[Starrchild65]

Nice.

[Pierbruv]

you play the bass really delicately. it different lol. but its got movement...plus is that an orginal fender jazz??? nice playing btw

[funkchunck]

cooool.

[Millaamy]

that was awesome

[StepSteck]

That's very good.....most of these "how to play" things miss an important thing:

You have to go SLOWLY at first (which you do!)

Great job! Thank you!

[BenCarballar]

venga man, muy wena !!, felicidades, jejeje

[harmonium777]

hi, what kind of fender is it ?

thnx

[generalcastillo38]

jazz bass color sunburst

[bass1049]

[mattratt512]

you rock.thanks to you and Larry Graham, i'm gonna save up to get a bass.

[diamonddust22]

Thank you so much that was very helpful

[saiko189]

observe ladies and gentlemen this is concentration...the look in his eyes...let continue to watch

[tall32guy]

That has gotta be one of the fastest and hardest basslines I've ever seen. LOL

[NJohn1000]

Oooooh..., so that's how it's played.  THX.

[69erthx1138]

Perfect interpretation. Very smooth note transition, especially on the A and G octaves. This is one of the meanest bass riffs ever, funk on bro!

[Reaper1984]

I would like to hear some more thumping from that thumb.

Otherwise it was spot on !

FUNK ON!

[jorge23000]

now dance and sing like larry does xD

[BASStian7]

very nice!

[RobertoVal]

Sorry about that... keep it funkying!

that's it!!

[RobertoVal]

Wow, that's cool... I think I'll try it someday je... Keep it Funking!

[roeberten]

[spke532]

good job dude but where are your bass faces?

You gotta make some faces to show that funk more.

Great job though.

Holla

[myungman]

i concur. u need more face!

great video, great job.

[XrisSmiles]

u nice dog

[bcw3360]

Is that an american jazz? If so, do you like it?

[funkystanki]

jazz bass custom shop '64

[bcw3360]

lucky bastard :)

[ToTaLlOaNeR]

good skills

[irontheater77]

Extremely well done.

Much respect from Miami! ;)

[killedhostage]

nice

[marrefar]

I love learning songs by ear SOO!!! much better then tabs and notes

[depptjes]

wooww... ure good :P

i dont play Bass by my own but this sounds really cool..

Awesome!

[thebassist435]

hey man wut website did u get the bass tabs for pow?

[tolinfitz]

Just watch the video... he shows you how to play it so well.

[jaffijoe]

What ever happened to putting on the cans and figuring it out. I did that for years until I found the internet. But, most of the tabs on the internet are close, but not perfect. So, I ended up just going back to putting on the cans and figuring it out on my own.

[BassIsBeautiful]

Thank You dude !

If every musician that posts videos on youtube would make videos like you do, people would learn faster ! Good one !

[MakkoRajo89]

O_O!!!

[jcsgroove]

Yeah man!!!!!! This was the 1st slap song I learned as a kid!!! Brought back some great memories!!!! hahaha! Thanks!

Peace,

Jackie

[exploteam]

Hey that is awesome man... how long have you been playing the bass?

[PaowZ]

as he said below "8 anni"

[funkystanki]

Yes, 8 years

[exploteam]

THank you funkystanki, I dont know Italian....

[jaffijoe]

Do you know what "annum" means? That is how I approached that "8 anni" statement.

[Fornax90]

Awesome man! Thanks for the vid..helped me a lot

[SilveradeS]

good one

[gianfrannunzi]

niente male!da quanto tempo studi?

[funkystanki]

Ciao. Studi che cosa? il basso in generale o il pezzo in questione?

Comunque, basso 8 anni, no autodidatta.

Il pezzo in questione, l'ho tirato giù ad orecchio in un paio d'ore, e portato a velocità in un mesetto, senza sbavature.

[gianfrannunzi]

hai un ottimo approccio allo studio!complimenti!ultimamente mi sto dedicando alle trascrizioni di alcuni pezzi dei tower of power.suonarli con il giusto groove e senza sbavature richiedere ore ed ore di studio,ma ne vale la pena.

[funkystanki]

Esatto! La soddisfazione che se ne ricava è moltissima.

Ed è il metodo migliore per apprendere le piccolezze stilistiche e tecniche.

Good work! I Tower of Power sono una fonte inesauribile di groove allo stato puro! E il buon Rocco Prestia è un vero maestro nei 16esimi, e d.notes.

Se hai modo, posta qualcosa. Io mi sono limitato solo ai brani del metodo di Prestia.

[funkynette]

giustissimo condividere, ma nascondere sul più bello! dovrebbero offrirti tutti almeno un bianchino!!! usi uno squire?

[funkystanki]

mmm... scusa ma non ho capito cosa stai dicendo.

Comunque uso un fender CS jazzbass NOS 64

[funkynette]

... è vero..eheh, scusa! volevo dire solo che ogni tanto bisogna nascondere i trucchetti...lo facevo spesso, quando mi accorgevo che sotto il palco c'era un bassista alle prime armi...ehehe!!

respects,

max

[funkadelic1992]

Very nice...

[Fatch1987]

ottimo tutorial. Per fortuna non c'è solo ki sfoggia la propria tecnica, ma anche chi ha voglia di condividerla su sti sito....

[funkystanki]

Thanks Man, this video wants to be a tutorial of Pow not a simple execution.... for that motive I have preferred to expose the Basslines and then to play the piece to time before....sorry for my english

[moed51]

Message to me , you can play bro , but the way you started had most of us thinking you were a retard . play on my man ,

[moed51]

His bass tone is as good as marlowe and undaggy ,for real !

[moed51]

check him out at 2:25 , this dude got skills .

[tom237]

thanks dude this helped me a lot

[tolinfitz]

Thanks so much for posting this.

I learned this from you.

[milkoma]

...stò cominciando a suonare questo pezzo grazie al tuo video.

devo ringraziarti, ottimo lavoro.

p.s.

che suono il tuo Fenderone!...complimenti.

[Svamidji]

ruler

[Clong89]

Great, no better lesson on youtube currently.

[giddyup3]

the way ur looking at the camera is freaky..

[BigBroMike]

screw this riff, my fore arm just fell off haha

[dortegac]

compdre a uste le falta groove ... es mas fome ...

[ssbubbly]

Is this a vintage fender jazz bass??

[funkystanki]

No man, this is a custom shop jazz bass '64

[VoodooVideo888]

you kinda stole my video dude...thats not cool mine has been up 4ever and i just reuploaded it. good job though, no hard feelings

[acdc126]

i search the tab on google and all it give me is only 2 lines of shit

[rabos]

MEE TOO!!!!

[bassjam]

Amazing. Good work!

[koella2]

Just great

Thank you for the lesson

[noctulius]

Gratz man! Great great video!

This song is awesome and so is your interpretation ;)

[deathdrago]

that... is so... badass... thanks man, i need to learn this song

[troytroyus]

Pretty sweet, just play a *little little* farther back on the beat and it would be awesome.

[avp0713]

You are not Italian!!! You are BLACK, you even have a FRO!!! just kidding of course. I am stunned by your acuity.  It is as humbling as it is inspiring. I too play several instruments "by ear". This is one for my favorites.

[snapcase72]

Cool! Alright!

[yoylosotros]

you're missing notes

[musicnice10]

unlike you, this fine man hear plays by EAR, instead of tabs or the work of other people. he uses actual musical talent to interpret the song. u have absolutely no right in saying hes missing notes.

[yoylosotros]

actually I play by EAR too, I don't know any theory, all I'm saying is that what he's playing sounds incomplete, check out videos of MarloweDK (specially the "Pow" one) he's the man.

[bigbubba253]

that is very, very, good!!  Great work!

[sharnoth]

wow!! nice man! gj!!!

[ReyBass]

Magic Player

[siancorp]

me retracto sobre mi post anterior, es la mejor version de pow! que he escuchado y visto n youtube, la tecnica, de ambas manos, el groove, el sonido, todo.

perdon, pero no tengo buen ingles xD

[ziggyweirdandgilly]

5 stars good job :)

[maciucalarrybass]

Man thanks to you...I finally learn to play Larry Graham's Pow.... Thanks agayn man... and by the way..my name is Larry to :D

[flingflang1]

Dude!!! excellent tutorial on Larry Graham. Makes learning easy and a bit more approachable for old farts, and young alike. Thanks so much for the post...

[guillenotas]

Muy bien tio, te lo has currado. Muy buena la representación en cámara lenta. La gran capacidad de oído que posees te proporcionará una gran ayuda en un futuro estable y lleno de alegría en este mundo lleno de terror. Espero que aportés a este mundo tan cruel tu maravillosa capacidad de interpretación. Te quiere un amigo del más allá.

[oucronos]

COMPLIMENTI!!!!

[Ducksr1]

Your version rules TOO!!!!!!!

[chowwwoma]

NICE!! Thank you for the slow play!!

I was looking for slow play for the long time because I could not understand how Larry plays POW.

I'm going to practice with this viedo with gratitude.

I am looking forward to see "Release Yourself" slow version by you, if possible.

[bobek3x]

nice!!!

[rmr327]

man, that is dirty. nice groove, greasy pocket.

[GameBaron]

Dude that is freaking sweet!

I assume its a Jazz bass.. what sort've amp / effects you using?

[funkystanki]

nothing effect and amp.only my jazzbass 64 nos , Line in mixer, flat eq.

[PennyThief531]

whoa!!!!! nice...don't mind me asking, but where'd u learn the song from? a book? tab online? please respond! i love this song!!!!!

[funkystanki]

i don't have tab or book. i listen the song and reply. (sorry but i'm italian and my english is terrible)

[FlanaganMike]

Cool!!!!Thanx i have work for months with this video.

[Toshfunk]

perfect,nice job man

[dalela]

I meant to say pluck the open D string not thump

[dalela]

after plucking the high D to E the next thump is an open D to E second fret of the D string followed by a D fifth fret to E seventh fret of the A string. It's a quick shift but i'm pretty sure that's the way he played it.

[siancorp]

tocas muy bien la cancion llevo mucho trantando de sacarla y la haz sacado perfecta, pero dejame corejirte una sola cosa, la base principal de la cancion la tocas muy rapido, trata de bajarle un poco el bit, y sentirla mas, y te quedara perfecta.

Bass Power!

[systemcky]

Go Jew Fro

[robart123456789]
