Fela Kuti - 5 More Amazing Songs - Vol 3 - Afrobeat Bass Covers - With Tabs
Hey Now!
#basslesson #basslessons
I made a hot 5 medley of some of my favorite Bass Lines from Fela Kuti. The master and father of Afrobeat music.
This is one of my favorite styles of Bass Playing. The main grooves are not SUPER difficult. The real challenge is hanging on to that groove for 7-10 minutes without changing a note or losing your place with all of that music happening around it. Polyrhythm at its finest.
You have to be very unselfish when playing this music and let your Bass line be part of the collective. All songs have tabs included. Once you learn the riff, just hold down the groove and you can play along to the tracks for HOURS of fun!
If this video is successful, which I ...

    • @mattlabarbermusic
      @mattlabarbermusic 8 дней назад

      Thank you for saying that. Touchpoints is exactly what i was going for. Not wanting to get too specific on what sounds like a largely improvised Bass Line. Instead showing people how to improvise on it themselves. I appreciate you picking that up

      @merginglanes2644 8 дней назад

      @mattlabarbermusic like some other comments said, looking at tabs for this song are WILD. I think, like you said, this bass line is largely improvised so the general points you outline make playing this song much more approachable.

      @mattlabarbermusic 24 дня назад

      Thank you so much for watching and i am glad you appreciate it. I agree that those programs are more legible and I like that they include the rhythm. But they are often so small and i don’t care for the ones that scroll. I personally think that makes it harder to play but eventually i will find a program that i like
