Play That Funky Music (Bass Cover)

[waltervt]

Nice video, mate! What bass is that?

Cheers

[Mickycond86]

It seems very boring to play bass gutiar not as electric guitar keyboard or drums

[unknown9069]

@Mickycond86 It's not boring to play bass.

Bass has soul, it is something you feel. It's also fun to be percussive with!

[KyleCarrington]

Nice job. I'm switching from 6 strings to 4! Picked up a G&L L2000, will be watching, keep up the vids~!

[samuriguy909]

why dont you play the intro? its so easy

[KyleCarrington]

@samuriguy909 because its guitar, not bass?

[samuriguy909]

@KyleCarrington Its actually a clavinet. Besides the intro is extremely easy to play on bass considering the fact that bass strings are the bottom four strings of a guitar.

[KyleCarrington]

@samuriguy909 cool! They really sound great for funk :)

[samuriguy909]

why dont you play the intro? its so easy

[swoards711]

pinoy ka pre?

[Nitrousoxide2k]

Great job!



[howianna]

Yours is one of the closest renditions I have heard. Here's where everybody messes up, though: the bass player plays a C on the word 'LAY' where it says 'lay down the boogie'. I have no idea why the original bassist played a C in that spot but it fits perfectly, in a jazzy sorta way.

[GarethToye1]

@howianna At the point where the singer says 'lay' from 'lay down the boogie' the bassist hits the E note on the G string

[guaguon]

wonderful! 金城武!

[tehbackmaskr]

awesome man, u got that FUNK.

keep playing, get looser and really let that funk move your body.

not everyone has it, if u do its just a matter of lettin loose.

[Donce38]

you should do the slap bass..

[guitarboy487]

cool but it was kind of hard to hear bass...

next time maybe you should turn the background

music down a little...

[ksiryan1121]

[Cnevan]

That's tight, man!

[dagriton123]

If your still in high school, just walk through the hallway playing this on a Friday sometime. My friend and I brought our guitars in last year and walked around the halls playing random songs last year. The best part was they didn't take our guitars away during the week of detentions we earned lol.

[slimlim000]

BAHAHAHAHA!!!! dude that is awesome!!!! too bad i'm no longer in high school.... that seems like such an awesome idea :P

[sharksblue]

i dont like you

[slimlim000]

ummm ok... thanks for the comment...

any reasons why u dont like me?

[szekelymihai]

did you see the moonwalking bear at 1:38?

[slimlim000]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! no way man.... :D

[orangeblast911]

what type of electric bass would anyone recommend??? cuz i wanna play but i have no idea which one to pick :0

[budhaballs]

fender squire is a good one thats what ive got

[NickBlackDIN]

I like Yamaha basses to start with, nice sound, and affordable.

[sarahchick34]

haha i love that song but ya u did have some wrong notes in there but ur awesome!

[sevenincher]

good job during the verses but when it says "lay down the boogie and play that music till you die" you're hitting some wrong notes in there. Listen to it again.

[slimlim000]

yea.... i actually agree.. lol :P

but oh well... majority is ok :) i think if i do play this song again.. i'll try to improvise a bit :P listening to it again seems hell boring... LOL!

[21tom12]

It's really just the first note, on "Lay". The rest are ok. :P

F'in tight playin man, loved it.

[thegraywolf316]

cool but could you show me how to play it

[mikepeek132]

wow. holy shit. fucking crazy! very very good.

[lancego30]

the best base play for this song so far, great play, asians rock!

[309204386]

TELL ME WHAT THAT BASS IS?!!!!!!!

[borbonien]

i think is a yamaha

[slimlim000]

Yamaha RBX760A

:)

[surfbug1]

relax your left hand

work to get all your finger on the fretboard, your #2 finger is always in the air off the board

your will increase in speed and be more relaxed, and it will help your feel

very good playing, I was playing this wrong, and will try your version which sounds spot on.

great job...

-and, im not Asian!- lol

[nirob]

hey now that somethin ive never seen since playin funk. asian kick it brother now only if we can get a redneck ya think?

[donnieboy31]

[edusims]

Great Job! Stay with God

[supersaint56]

U just need to do the intro, turn up your bass, and SLAP!

[WholePieofFury]

and you did the riff wrong. it doesnt slide down to the 3 and 5the frets. its stays at 5 and 7th. u just need to learn it right. prolly not your fault. just whoever taught it to you.

[rudmad00]

...ya man tabs r always rite

[WholePieofFury]

and thats ur first mistake

[slimlim000]

agreed with WholePieofFury :)

[rudmad00]

lmao it's called sarcasm. who gives a shit how he plays it, it sounds right.

[slimlim000]

lol... sorry dude... it just sounded kinda real but yea..... agreed with u too :P tabs are just one person's interpretation of how u play it... LOL

[joe97yo]

actually barely but whatever

[WholePieofFury]

u still epically fail

[Guitarhero75]

Nice bass. I'm digging the colour :)

[vwcrash62]

its good but you didnt do the beginning thats bass too

[WholePieofFury]

ok, no, thats not bass in the beggining. thats guitar. so stop trying

[xxBassPownerxx]

turn up the bass its a great groove show it off

[ukkfayooyay]

Play that funky bass, Asian boy! haha... I enjoyed this video.

[regionbuss]

nice

[fieldpirate]

nice cover man. im trying to get the bass in our band to play this but he is not as good as you.

sweet green bass too man.

i like the metal version of this song.

[smokeybear94]

hayy

wich version by wich artist did u use on UG

[slimlim000]

i used the one by wild cherry

and the guitar pro version with the most ratings :)

[smokeybear94]

ook thnxx

[DarthVato76]

Dude, if you can do some Jaco Pastorius bass riffs, I will BOW down to your skills. He was one crazy-ass bassist as well...you should check out his song "Come On, Come Over," then you'll see what I'm talking about. By the way, nice lines on "Play that Funky Music." Love it!!

[slimlim000]

alright dude :P i'll check it out :P

right now it sounds pretty good aye :D

[DarthVato76]

Yeah...I tried it, and by about halfway of the song, my fingers were dying! Keep those vids coming.

[saxophonehero]

wow, this isnt hard enough that you need tabs to play, sound it out if you have talent

[ILPATATONE1982]

BEL LAVORO PULITO - ONESTO però che faccia da pesce lesso ....

[Ventasmentos]

Nice multitasking ;)

[jag4free]

heey can you give me the bass tab i was searching for a good one but coulnd find

[zzyzx321]

Excellent job - excellent execution - What blows me away the most is that this song was made before you were born... Nice choice to prove your base-line skills !!!

[StiebanKosteer]

what the hell does that mather XD?

[Jhamamy]

:0 nice bass:D

[2010avalon]

play that funky music!!!!! awesome!

[Rmag37]

Damn I suck in comparison to you. great video though.

[flakeyguy000]

nice job! that was perfect - was bass are you using? looks like my shine...

[FreeBornRadical]

You inspired me to get my good old bass guitar out of her yearlong sleep and to play on a a regular basis again. Thanks a lot, Bassman!

[manux44]

Sooo clean !! Call you Mister Proper !!

[jacklozi]

Nice - I need a bass player for my band

[machetephil]

[Qwufi]

[slimlim000]

lol... that was a bro... >_>

[J040Z1NH0]

not bad

[putananachos]

do you have the tabs cuz it sounds bad ass

[slimlim000]

go to ultimate-guitar(dot)com and search for play that funky music and look for guitar pro tabs :)

[Fretfeeler]

Very good timing but you're playing a couple of wrong notes. It's actually easier:

E, D-E, E-A-B-D-E

5th and 7th frets, just hammer ons on E string and A string. Also the bass part is different from the vocals on the 'Lay down the boogie' part, listen a bit more closely. Keep it up though, nice timing and good sound, that's HUGE!!! :)

[DeathMetalSinner]

man i really like this!good job!^^

[slimlim000]

cheers mate :)

i like happy music once in a while :P

[richiewu]

matty lim this is richie wu, annettes little bruv ;) how you been mate havent seen you in long time, only saw you in my friends faves haha. used to play badminton remember?

[Tudoran45]

[bigcow26]

and great cover

[slimlim000]

it's a fender rumble 100

but im not playin through my amp... its direct input to my computer :)

[jemc669]

wait, how is that? and is there like bass to headphones??

sorry for the dumb questions, i am still a NOOB

[slimlim000]

ummmm i get this small adapter thing for the lead... and u know where u plug in ur microphone for ur computer? i put the adapter to my lead and plug it into the microphone jack and when you record, you record your playing :)

i hope that helped :)

[jemc669]

oh yah...i have that adapter lying under a ton of useless crap

ill find it when i have some free time...

and thank you...for that

[magic265]
