Pentatonic bluesy bass riff

Again we use the funky D backing track from the previous video for more evil doings;-)
Getting ideas from other band instruments - Im dubbing one of the rhythm guitars and adding something extra - the lick at the end.
Actually a LOT of my Lick ideas come from guitar players (well, in this instance i also played the guitar, so i inspired myself, ha ha)
Backing track can be download from http://playbassnow.com/bass-lick-of-the-day/l279-jb-style-funky-groove-in-d9/ You just need to register

I am very new to the bass guitar and also trying to read sheet music,at times it seems overwhelming . Watching you and your video's for me is fun and also how you try to show others HOW and WHAT you are doing is purely and simply "CLASS" on your part. I have paid good money for video's that should not be shown in your presence. Thank You Greg

@yomoedaddy Thanks Greg, you are most welcome:-)

Marlowe. i'm not sure if anyones asked yet (sarcasm), but what type of fender is that? You have amazing technique.

[MarloweDK]

Its a 1971 Fender jazzbass, originally sunburst, but i painted it red myself:-D

Do you still need to have any comments on your vids ?

You know that everyone says "it's perfect !"

I just do the same. It's getting boring at last...

Try to put some crap to change !

No, I'm joking of course.

That's badass and very instructive as usual.

Peace,

Fred

MarloweDK eres un fiera, mas que un maestro un heroe, muchas gracias. You are great, but a teacher a hero, thanks you very much.

Love it.. smooth. thx

Forgive me for nitpicking Marlowe, but in all of your videos, I have never heard you play a 'riff'. A 'riff' to me, is the exact opposite of a 'groove', and your sense of groove is impeccable.

Sounds like a nod to Hendrix's "Power of Soul" to me. I like it!
