Cissy Strut Bass Tab + Tutorial (The Meters)
Hiyah!!! This tune by The Meters is an old favorite of mine. In this Cissy Strut Bass Tab + Tutorial video, we'll go through all the parts of the song with playalongs so you can get it under your fingers and capture that George Porter Jr. funk!
I'll also address the most DANGEROUS part of this tune! You'll see what I mean when you watch the video. Those wascally guitar players…

Guitar players, horn players, keyboard players also lol. I've played bass with Zigaboo since 2012 and it's a tune that a lot of people "sit in" and I'm not talking about novices. I recently uploaded a video of us playing it and you can hear the sax players adding in the extra notes while the rest of the band locks. They lock in tighter with the rhythm section later in to tune.
Hey Ted, cool to hear from you! Sorry to hear that extra note has even made its way near Zigaboo, lol!
lol we rarely play it honestly. Nobody bugs out on it. It's just one of those things. Lol
Haha, sure is.
And for anyone else reading this, check out Ted's video on Cissy Strut too - ruclips.net/video/5fQARMjY0mw/видео.html
Great tutorial! Especially the part in regards to not dropping 3 notes but only 2 for space. Little things like that make a huge difference for feel. As a drummer who plays bass your videos are a godsend for learning and education. Thank you!
I'm a guitarist guilty of adding the extra note. I now stand corrected! Thanks.
"You're not going back in a time machine"- one of the reasons I love this channel.
I'm a sax player...really enjoyed what you're doing. Very well explained. 👍
Super cool - and I like the little humor pieces in between
I saw them play in the mid 90's and he played nearly everything with one finger on both hands. Blew me away when I tried it back home.
😳
Thanks, man! I'm a drummer. I learned from Stanton Moore. It drives me crazy that most don't know how to play it.
this is the best tutorial I have found on the internet. Thank you so much! love the way you put it all together.
You're welcome! :)
Great! At last, a genuine teacher and not just another frustrated and obviously bored virtuoso player. Teaching is a skill quite apart from playing so please protect me from those 'teachers' who can't help themselves breaking into complex and irrelevant riffs at every opportunity. Thanks again.
Thanks for this. Most people don't touch the solo section, the C section. Great job.
Thanks , very good tune , the video you make is very helpfull. thanks a lot for share the tabs
Thank you very much bro, for the video and the bass tab !!!
Great details. Just subscribed. Thx! 👍
excellent lesson!
Even professional players add the notes, even at the part John says guitarist add, on pt 2, many bass players add notes. However, the only one in the original that plays the extra notes is the Hammond player. 'Scott's Bass Lessons' admits to playing it wrong for many years until he delved into it and listened closely to the original.
Thanks to guys like you, we can learn how it's originally done! :)
Excellent job-
Good job with the tutorial. You are right about the extra notes!! One of the bass players (Jazz guy) that I hired for my gigs would play the extra notes, even though I had it written like the original on the bass chart!! Probably he thought I had transcribed it wrong? LOL.
Thanks for sharing!
Great lesson. Thank you.
very cool! thanks for posting.
Nice. Please cover Parliament's "Dr.Funkenstein". Such a funky bass line.
Thanks Josh. You saved me in preparation for a gig!
Glad I could help keep that extra note off your bandstand. :)
Thanks a lot, this really helped me.
You're welcome!
Great lesson, I had beats 3 and 4 all wrong in the second bar of the main groove
Thank you!!!
Thanks !
This is awesome! May I suggest that you check out the band Trioscapes? I think you might like them and if you did a cover or tutorial that would be amazing. Thanks!

Ha, was thinking of this myself. Luckily I scrolled down. Thanks for the indexing, my man :-)
Very nice man... And you're right... The more holes the better...
hey dude great tutorial! I was interested to know what drum machine you were referring to?
Great video! Did you intentionally leave out the mention of the bend? It is not in your PDF as well!
Thanks' Josh , I can remember when it was cool to ssss' stutter while singing BTO style , You aint seen nothen yet ,,, now everyone knows how old I am .I want to be buried with my bass in my hands...
… also helpful for a keyboarder (understanding what bass and guitar are doing helps)
Thanks
Great lesson! Cissy Strut was used in the film Jackie Brown. What are the chances of you doing a bass tutorial for The Ghetto by Donnie Hathaway?
Josh, I paid for your beginner to badass program and it was awesome, thanks! By the way, I noticed that little bend move on the opening bass line of Cissy and you didn't mention this????? Seems important?
Just a little extra sauce, not critical. :)
Nice Bro Can You Please Do Curtis Mayfield Future Shock 🙏👌👍
I can mute the G in the bridge and sounds percussive and recomforts the sensation of emptiness
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaya!
ok, won't hesitate...I hear your putting an extra note in there that, on the original recording by the meters, was played only by the hammond player...
Hi Josh, great transcription and great song choice ! Only thing is at 9 26 on the groove you play there are less notes rhythmically ( same pitch but different rhythm, not so many sixteenths). All the rest is spot on!
+Fabrizio Zidarich Hey Fabrizio, if you listen to the record, George plays that line differently almost every pass through, with slight rhythmic variations. I just picked one for this lesson.
Dude good tutorial but even u added an extra note. In the “B” section u don’t actually play the fifth. It’s actually just a ghost note.
So the second to last note, before hitting the root note (C) of the B section, should only be a ghost note instead of hitting the actual note (G)?
The sheet music my band uses has the extra notes in it
you know what you need to do...
You play it wrong in the B section. Look up the correct part. The real one is simpler than the way you play it. In the B section you only hit the G once in passing down from the Bb to the lower C. You don't play those last 16th's before the C. Those are played by the organ. You just play the C's and the Bb's until you play the one G as you descend. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I just heard the original bassist play that bass line. Go back ,and listen to it.Your are still not playing quiet right.
adding extra notes is like pushing the envelope unless you're in a tribute band were all the notes played are exactly like on the record........boring
You're playing it wrong too.....see the George Porter video.....Cissy Strut
Steve Woodward I just watch the George Porter video, and he does the exact same thing, is mr. Porter playing wrong too?
No mate ...someone has hacked my account, Apologies.
All the sheet music I see has no bass in the solo. Also your "teaching" is very lacking.
ComaAlpha maybe your “understanding” is lacking.
brush your teeth josh. Great tutorial though!
good but please less speak !
