      Keyboards are my 1st instrument, Bass is my 2nd. In my first bands, we never had a bass guitarist, so I did synth bass with my left hand. That got me used to the concept of basslines, and playing synth bass trained my left hand for fretting later on.

    • @mv9787

    5:02 Fun Fact: The entirety of Don’t Stop Til’ You Get Enough consists of only 2 chords, (with the exception of the bridge) Just goes to show the true genius of Michael & his team. :)

    • @IrnBruNYC
      @IrnBruNYC 4 года назад +5

      Gelo Galvez Another fun fact: the bridge for Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough was written by keyboardist Greg Phillinganes. MJ refused to share songwriting credit, which cost him millions of dollars. (There is an early pressing of the single that does list Phillinganes as co-writer, but he never saw a dime of royalties from the song.)
      (The bridge contains much more than 2 chords)

My favourite are remixes of disco tunes that have been touched by the modern deep bass/kick house sound.

    You're right about Billie Jean. It's all about that transition from traditional bass guitar to analogue synths in the late 70's early 80's. Billie Jean was a superb example of that. I was in a band that did a version of it - not an easy tune to cover I can tell you! Awesome. (Oh, not sure whether it's a classic disco track like Chic, but it's close enough! :0)
