Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight Bass Lesson

New & Improved lesson, the notes are 100% accurate, I looked up the sheet music. This bassline is a sample from the Chic song "Good Times." If you enjoyed the lesson, check my website. I'm always updating it with videos, lessons, & more. www.phunkadelphia.com

This is GOOD TIMES by chic.

@charleskilgo that much is obvious my friend. In the information section and tags it is written plainly for all to see, this song was created from a sample of Bernard Edwards' famous bassline

@connissima the way I play in this video is straight-up old school fingerstyle, two fingers on the right hand plucking strings while using my left hand to fret notes and mute the open strings. I dont do any fret tapping with my left hand, even though that could be cool in other settings. thanks for the kind words

@neilaspin008 yea i guess i was out of order, i thought your comment was at me and i've already went over this stuff with someone before and its a little annoying when people take stuff like the name of the video too seriously, honestly i was probably already pissed off before i read your comment and thats where the anger came from, all apologies

[BajanBassPlayer]

Brother...Thanks..you got skills

[neilaspin008]

@docsbassist - actually, I think we might be at cross purposes here. I was responding to a comment made by someone who said that they didn't like the bassline!!!.....it now looks like this comment has been deleted. I certainly didn't mean to post it to the chap in the video!!.......sorry for any confusion!...also, I was trying to be lighthearted with the other chap!
