Louis is world famous for his slap style but I LOVE his finger work as well. This tune has such a funky bass line in sync with the guitar. To me it's a sample of Louis his total perception of bass playing. A real master piece...

  • Wow, have never heard this song! Agree that Louis' fingerstyle bass playing is is very underrated--he also did some great work on the "Off the Wall" album, i.e. Rock with You that was played fingerstyle. Thanks for posting!

  • @loondoo Hey there, thank you so much for watching my clips and for commenting on some. And thanx for your friendship as well. Yes Louis is underrated as a finger style player so that's why I wanted to show some of his licks as well.

    'Off the Wall' is a great album. But it's not Louis playing on 'Rock with You'. The player on that song was Bobby Watson. Nonetheless is a fabulous song.

    Peace

  • I play on a Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass. What kind of strings do you suggest I use to get that fat sound, flats or rounds?

  • @PMann9321 Hi, I always use rounds to get that grinding sound with a lot of sustain. Peace.

  • what sort of strings are you using? Flats or rounds?

  • Always, rounds... I need that 'grinding' sound.

    Peace
