@@cartergriffiths9327 funk was derived from Jazz...late 60s James Brown and Sly stone were at the forefront and in the 70s Miles Davis started Fusion Jazz incorporating different genres of music into jazz including Rock and Blues but considering the heavy sampling of Jazz and funk they were definitely foundation of hip-hop

Rest in Power, Bernard Wright! He passed away shortly after I had the chance to meet him in Dallas while he was performing on Snarky Puppy's new album. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to talk to him for a little bit between sets.

A KZread CHANNEL THAT DOES COOL MUSIC BREAKDOWNS AND BASS STUFF?? I love this channel so much, man.

3:03 Man that tone is so liquid and beautiful, would fit in great over an acid-jazz/chill fusion, so funky and almost mysterious with those pops, awesome character.

Also, I frequently play 5/8 of these bass lines, especially “All Night Long”. The groove is undeniable.

Might I add A Taste Of Honey “Boogie Oogie Oogie” is crucial. One of the first basslines I taught myself and it’s instantly recognizable from every purist and most age demographics.

How could you not mention Smooth Operator by Big Daddy Kane 😂

I always went to play "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder as my soundcheck line. Just because I love to play this song.

Jamiroquai - Manifest Destiny. A whole groove centered in the bass that everything else just complements. Percussion & keys can’t help but to fall in line.

Algorithm suggested the 'Through The Wire' breakdown, then I immediately clicked on this. Damn. Where the hell has this channel been all my life?! Props, Brandon. You're a master of your craft.

exactly! i still remember the rap included with the intro too! 🥵🥵

Because I'm such an OLD MoFo...the bass line from the Barney Miller Show. Yeah! Pre cable days! It's a really funky bass line. And great guitar leads. Even if it is ancient history.

Bass can be so subtle but at the same type, can set the whole tone of a track. I love it.

Yesssss!! Hubby and I are so glad we found you and look forward to your videos 😍 Love that Come Down made it to your list, the track slaps hard!

this is becoming my new favourite channel. i don't even play anything i just love your music knowledge and taste

You dropped another bomb bro, love the research you put behind every video. You really dig deep, and we dig that.

You cant mention "All Night Long"/"Rising To The Top" being sampled by so many artists and leave out the best one: "Smooth Operator" by the great Big Daddy Kane. This is the first place I heard that bassline and it was that groove that made me want to make music. That bassline made me think "hey,I wanna do that. " It planted the seed. Just listening to music wasnt going to cut it. I didnt immediately get a bass. I was a kid. I had to buy my bass and amp on my own but managed to do so my freshman year in highschool. Even then I couldnt practice much as my father worked long,late hours and slept during the day.. It would be a few years before I could really put time into it and I was truly humbled when I realised I might not be famous or on tour as quickly as I though🤣

Can’t overlook Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew’s “Keep Risin’ To The Top”, which preceded the BDK track.

That bassline you played for Getaway blew me away, just wow. Your videos are worth watching, subbing to this amazing channel.

One of my favorites is the bassline from Sesame Street's number song (the one with the pinball video). Great bassline by Bob Cranshaw, and it's always fun when someone asks 'what's that?' to say 'oh, just something from sesame street'.

Try “Glide” by Pleasure. It one of those special Funk aficionados cuts. Bass gettin’ it though the whole song. By the way, “Getwaway” is that gun blazing cut. No lie.

“We Want Bootsy” - Bootsy’s Rubber Band. He was giving some of the most innovative lines of the entire OG Funk era.

Where has this video been all my life? This will be utilized for the show tomorrow, thank you funky sir!

Grateful for your storytelling abilities - keeps me tuning in every-time you put out a video. Recommending a “Jamaican bass-lines”version of this. Can’t go wrong with Dennis Brown’s “Revolution” with Robbie Shakespeare on bass (RIP).

Very nice work! Enjoyed this!

Thank You so much, your channel is my Music Library!!!

This is the BEST channel on KZread....Period!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve never heard Getaway played so funky ! Just liked and subscribed !

At 0:46 I subscribed to your channel. First time seeing you, but I have seen enough bass teaching channels to know where this is going and I'm sure I'm going to love this.

Great video and selection. Following!

Thank you SOOO much for taking the time to inspire here. Such a characterful and tight delivery.. You lickin' those strings too. Digesting all this input - Happy FridaYAY! x

Dude you killed that Thundercat bass line! New favourite channel right here.

Fantastic channel, love the content! 🙏🏿

Man never seen your vids but man great video. I loved a great compilation of deep cuts and hallmarks with fun facts. I'm a sucker for fun facts

I enjoy the music content you present on your channel Sir. Great job 👍.

Dude for EWF's 'Getaway' is like, "Bassline is incredibly hard to play..." You DO know this is Verdine White playing it right? That's literally light work for him.

glad I bumped into this channel... very informative and funny at the same time ..... good stress relief

Funk is the answer , great video as per usual 🤜🏿🤛🏻

Just found you channel, and this is my first vid. Been slinging the 4 string (and more) for years. Love your song choices, attitude and presentation. New subscriber!

You absolutely have scorched the earth with these bass lines

Nice selections!

Hell yeah! I wasn’t sure if this list would be a good one, and then he busts out with “Come Down” on the first one. Subscribed immediately for that.

This is on point as a subject for a video and I can't wait to see what the tracks are. I have often relied on jungle boogie but it's toooooo recognizable

Love your videos so much

What a cool idea for a video, love it!☺️

I’m a guitarist first and always loved listening to Jamiroquai. I loved the bass in their songs, so I bought one, and I now listen to them even more. So much great bass in there! Bassist is Stuart Zender btw

Goddamn! I found this channel like a month ago…literally my favorite channel now

Gosh thanks for the new video!!! 🥰

'Glide' by Pleasure is the ultimate KILLER funky bassline. Many have tried to play and have failed. Next is 'Get On The Floor' by Michael Jackson. Also two from Teena Marie, 'I Need Your Loving' and 'Square Biz'.

I just know he's going to love it too. thank you Kind Sir.

Man I just like to play riders on the storm whenever I can, dont know if its good for soundchecks but its and awesome easy bass line. Great vid btw, was surprised when I saw this wasn't a multi-million yt channel.

Excelent video, thanks

Love your channel! For soundcheck i usually play digable planets - rebirth of slick

What a great channel🤘😎

Funkin for Jamaica is one of the coldest baselines. My mom made me burn this song on so many CDs. I’m from the west coast too so you know I’m stepping in my chucks 🕺🏾

These bass lines are funky as heck, all these choices are great!! ✌️😁

I want to thank you so much for introducing me to the Bernard Wright album Nard! I have been playing in funk bands for 20 years and never heard this album... It is a missing link for me in many ways :-) So awesome!

Now, we had a theme song … but, I also think of the “Night Court” theme when it comes to a sweet bass line.

That To Browne track has the great Sekou Bunch on a jazz bass with a pick playing what we thing is a guitar player doing the ghosting rhythm part. Classic!!!

I always show out at sound check lol People say “hey man you already got the gig” haha

Solid list My Brotha!! Thanks for turning me onto Mac Miller!!

My go to sound check bass line is runaway by jamiroquai

I’m glad that the topic of bassline AND bass line were both covered in this vide too

First time watching him; 30 seconds in and I am *suscribed*
