Very very nice. I am the younger brother of Bernard and he would have been proud to hear you recreate his bass lines. Thank you for the tribute

hi Mr. Edwards ,your brother was /is a BEAST of a bass player! wow ....as a bass player for a few decades now and a musician out of the womb , Im almost embarrassed to say it but , I am just finding out about him (the man Bernard Edwards) recently, or i should say, im paying more attention to the" who is who " now.. i sometimes play a 70's disco gig and have played a few of the hits . i just never payed much attention to the bassists that were playing these amazing grooves... his playing has truly inspired me to dig in and get playing again . 🙏

Underrated? WTAF? He's rated as one of the greatest.

Nice work. I play bass for Kathy Sledge and Sister Sledge. I approve of this video

Wow what a privilege to play with sister sledge! You must have a stingray!

He is the one and the only reason I am a bassist today,even as a young boy I was mesmerised with his sound before I even laid hands on a bass,it was meant to be.For me he still reigns supreme.

Edwards is on my top list for sure. How he can somehow fit all those notes in busy melodic lines and still have groove and space... With perfect timing. So good.

You nailed it. Best impression of Chic yet. That includes the backing music as well.

You are the first one who really can play like the best bass player ever in history, Bernard Edwards. His bass lines were the best❤

Danny! Giving inspiration to a 77 year old bassist still learning something new everyday. Thank you.

I'm a 50 Something New Yorker and this video brought me back to my youth. Mr. Edwards was one of the icons who inspired me to play the bass when I was a teenager. Your Technique is on point! Great Channel by the way

They're all amazing. Bernard was king of the slick basslines. The Good Times bassline was the blueprint for both Rappers Delight and Another One Bites the Dust. Still Thinking of You and Le Freak are my two favorites.

A master class is soul bass…. Even the simpler bits are so recognisable and brilliant……..

That take of Everybody Dance is enough - you're clearly a huge Bernard fan to pull that off, it's such an unusual technique and you've taken the time to learn it. Huge respect. 🙌

Danny, you absolutely rock and our man Bernard would be proud!

Great list. Here's some other killer base lines from Bernard Edwards in my opinion: solo on Diana Ross's "Upside Down", Sister Sledge's "I Got to Love Somebody Today", and of course Bernard's solo on Chic's "Rebels are We". I wish I could play like you to jump into these as well.

Bernard himself would be impressed, flattered and give it a thumbs up...GREAT JOB and totally flawless.This to me is how homage is paid!

Dude I love the fact that not only can you emulate so many different styles and sounds but you really get into the groove of whatever you playing and obviously really, really enjoy it👍👍👍👍

Thank you, Danny! 50+ GenXer here, and Bernard's basslines were part of the soundtrack of my preteen/teen years 🥲❤

Man, you got Bernard Edwards down packed. I miss his work on the bass. I started listening to him in 1977. Thank you for recognizing a fantastic bass player!

Danny gets funky as all get out!!! These songs have real groove!!! Thanks for showing the love.

Definitely the best attempt at recreating Bernard Edwards' bass technique on "Everybody Dance". Most, if not all, don't come close to capturing it, but your version is damn good !

I didn't know how much I missed the late 70's until I watched this. Thanks, Danny. 🥲

I miss The Great Bernard as well .😢 Job well done sir.

Thank you so much! Always remember Mr. Bernard Edwards.

No cóż Bernard Edwards to legenda ale świetnie sobie poradziłeś. Brzmienie basu jest świetne.

Somebody doing Bernard proud at long last! My hat off to you good sir and keep up the great work.

Great job Danny 🙌🏾-Bernard is smiling on down🙏🏾

Excellent on many levels. Superb video for players and punters alike, lovely looking and sound mix spot on. What a great tribute to musical Greatness! ❤

That's awesome. I've been working on Good Times for a week or so, I'm coming back to the bass after 20 years of not playing and learning to play finger style for the first time, so it's not easy. I really appreciate your camera work, showing really clear shots of either hand and the technique you're using for each part. Thanks! ❤

Wow! You‘ve got that magic touch.

You've got my vote ! The best Chic bass covers on KZread by far .

Bernard was actually the very reason I started playing the bass In 1976 or so. I heard chic so many times I know every small detail of his basswork. I was blessed with very good hearing, and I have never heard anyone who had all the little details in rythym and notes down to "micro-level". But you. my friend, you do. Exellent! Especially the chucking is impressive. Fun fact is that I sent a letter to the CHIC organization asking Bernard what his gear was, I had an F-bass and didn't get that sound. I don't think he got it though. I never got a reply. But years later I discovered he played a stingray and I thought "why didn't I know this sooner". It was a sound I loved and still do. BUT..wait for it... Then I heard from other reliable sources he didn't used a Stingray on the first hits like everybody dance, and Dance, dance, dance. Possible I think on the two first albums or at least the first, he used a BC Rich Eagle. But this video....Kudos my friend!

your happiness is contagious!

Bernard simply was the best at bass lines

You are a twin-brother to talent, bloody awesome 👏

I could vomit at how hard this grooves. It wouldn't stop me moving, either. I'd still be smiling. Best funk lines I can imagine.

You did Bernard proud👍👍👍👍

David Konig (Retrovibe Basses) used to make/sell a fantastic pre-amp for his basses called the stinger....gives a very authentic pre-EB Musicman-Stingray sound. I have one fitted to my Cort GB44.

Excellent tone.... That exciting bass tone. That made this song. And all the other.... Great.

Just gorgeously done, every single one.

Loving the grooves here...

Mt Mr Mark. Good work. BE was a Beast on the Bass. One of my all time Favorites. Rest in peace B. Edwards

Absolutely brilliant.

Danny you make me so happy. Awesome covers.

Spot on feel and tone!!

i love this. great covers sir xx much love

Legendary bass lines from a legendary bassist. Great job!!

Great ! Fun to learn ! Thanks Danny

Wow! Spot on man! And this bass has the perfect tone as well....

Great!

Wow note for note, phrasings and syncopation perfect. Bernard would have been impressed. Awesome tribute!!

I get chills

More excellence. He was my first virtual instructor so I’m critical. You nailed it again!

I would have LOVED to see you do Power Station's "SOME LIKE IT HOT" & "GET IT ON". Even though the bass part was actually played by Duran Duran's John Taylor, it was BERNARD that arranged & orchestrated those parts out and taught John just how to get the groove to record them. And of course, must we not forget the incredible tracks on Diana Ross' album "DIANA". "UPSIDE DOWN" & "I'M COMING OUT" was fabulous, over the top, bass guitar work from Bernard. BolsaChicaRadio.

Absolutely awesome!

Nailed each and every one of them my favorite baselines by my favorite bassist thank you. Edit : You should definitely have more likes

Excellent playing Danny! Much Respect to Bernard's playing, and to the Music Man bass too! Great tracks as well. Loved it..... Bob Fazio, LA Bass Player
